After penning one successful novel, Kate Youngblood has failed in her attempts to write a worthy second book. Having lost her street cred as an author and her husband to a younger woman, Kate makes a living teaching creative writing at a small college.She feels as if the best years of her life are behind her and despairs at having anything really exciting or noteworthy happening to her again. But she has an incredibly gifted student in her class. Sam Grist may choose somewhat disturbing topics for his writing endeavours, but his talent is obvious. Kate has no idea how fascinated Sam is with her. She doesn’t know he watches her, follows her…. Kate will have something exciting happen to her now. Sam will make sure of it. I love a good academic thriller, and this one was exceptional. Creepy and intense
