We Are Watching

 

Author: Alison Gaylin

Publisher: William Morrow Books

Publication date: January 28, 2025

Thank you William Morrow Books and NetGalley for the digital e-arc. 

This book has something for just about everyone- rock & roll, family drama, a decades old fantasy book, and a cult. What more could a reader ask for? 

Meg and Justin are driving their daughter Lily to college to start her freshman year. Lily notices the passengers in the car next to them are recorder her with their phones. Their driving gets more aggressive and Meg’s car crashes, killing Justin.  Weeks later, after recovering from the accident, Meg returns to work at the bookstore she and Justin owned. The store was founded by  Meg’s father, a former singer and guitarist who never really made the big time. Soon Meg and Lily discover that their family is at the center of an online cult’s obsession. And that obsession is turning deadly.

This one just pulled me right in from the jump. Author Alison Gaylin kept me on the edge in my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. She is an excellent storyteller and keeps ratcheting up the tension as the story unfolds. I found story is also very thought provoking too. It shows how far a conspiracy theory can spread and take over eventually ruining people’s lives. 

We Are Watching comes out Jan. 28. Preorder it now or add it to your tbr list. You’re going to want to read this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

QOTD: What’s the scariest part of cult stories for you—manipulation, isolation, or something else?

I think it’s how easily people are manipulated. I think it’s even easier today with the internet because we’re online 24/7. It’s too easy to go down a rabbit hole online and get sucked in.
