Nightwatching by Tracy Sierra Book Review

Book Synopsis: A mother is forced to the breaking point when her life and the lives of her children are threatened by an intruder.

Home alone with her young children during a blizzard, a mother tucks her son back into bed in the middle of the night. She hears a noise—old houses are always making some kind of noise. But this sound is disturbingly familiar: it’s the tread of footsteps, unusually heavy and slow, coming up the stairs.

She sees the figure of a man appear down the hallway, shrouded in the shadows. Terrified, she quietly wakes her children and hustles them into the oldest part of the house, a tiny, secret room concealed behind a wall. There they hide as the man searches for them, trying to tempt the children out with promises and scare the mother into surrender.

In the suffocating darkness, the mother struggles to remain calm, to plan. Should she search for a weapon or attempt escape? But then she catches another glimpse of him. That face. That voice. And at once she knows her situation is even more dire than she’d feared, because she knows exactly who he is—and what he wants.

💭 Review: “I was hooked from chapter one on this one. Its plot is actually one of my big fears so that is maybe why it was so “thrilling” to me.

However, the audiobook was so good and made me feel like I was right there experiencing it with the main character. Plus, being a mom too made this one even more relatable and scary.

This author did such a good job of making a book that seemed straight forward, not. I was second guessing myself constantly while listening and I love when an author can do that!

While I enjoy being right when it comes to guessing the twist, I LOVE it when an author proves me so very wrong.”
