The story is so intriguing, that it captivates the public only with the description. I cannot wait to read the full book and I know it will captivate me so much, that I will read it in only one day.

A thrilling fiction novel "Somebody’s Watching You" by Robin D'Amato, which follows a couple from Long Island, who was involved in a cult and fought to gain back their freedom. This book appears entertaining to me.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The plot revolves around a strong and relatable subject. I like how the author has emphasized that vulnerabilities make the victim easily accessible. I would love to read this one. Amazing review. Congrats Robin on winning BOTD!

Latest Review: Romance Trilogy Book 1 - Endless Echoes of the Soul by M. R. Avis

Post by Amanda Brouillette Gladden »

I have my opinions about religious organizations and so I struggle reading books regarding them but usually because they feel as though the author is forcing you to agree with them. With that being said, this sounds like something I could definitely get into and enjoy reading. The fact the author uses a mental illness to intertwine with the manipulation of a cult, really grabs my attention. Thank you for such a wonderful review.

Although this is a fictional story, the plot seems to be based on real-life cases. This makes it all very credible.

Congrats on BOTD!
The story's central premise is one that is both compelling and universal, and the book's gloomy themes make it an absorbing read. I appreciate the author's emphasis on how the victim is exposed due to weaknesses. Because Melody can keep an eye on Jeff, the cult won't have complete control over him. Incredible review.

Seeing one's husband fall into a state of depression can not be easy. Melody is very supportive, even temporarily giving up her job to support her husband. Cults are scary and I hope the couple manage to escape from their claws
Thank you for a great review.

I love your detailed review. This book illustrates just how potent brainwashing is as well as the power that indoctrination has over the mental health of people. Congratulations to the author for making BOTD!

When I started the free sample it didn't give a hint of the thriller to come. But as I read, I realized that the story was deeper than I expected. How can this couple break away from this cult? Good review.

The title of the book "Somebody's Watching You", sounds scary. It gives the vibes of a lack of freedom and lack of individuality. The couple struggling has picturized it. However, the review is beautifully written. I like it. Thank you for the review. I enjoy reading free sample.

If I read this book, it will be one of the few books on cultism that I've read. Believe me, the rest were not funny at all. Will this one too tell the gruesomeness of human nature in the name of being in a cult? Will Kelly and Jeff succeed in their fight? Interesting review.
