CW: On page attempted sexual assault, mentions of rape

This is I Know What You Did Last Summer meets Clue. But, instead of Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlett, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, and Mrs. White, we have the Best Friend, the Confidant, the Senator, the Boyfriend, and the Executive.

As a mom of a child with complex medical needs, I wanted to like and understand Maire. I couldn't.

It was too over the top. I wouldn't say I enjoyed this read.

Everyone is Watching is a thriller about a reality show with a host of dangerous games where five unsuspecting people compete for ten million dollars.

This book I was expecting a lot more than what I got unfortunately, The setting could have been great. I really enjoyed the idea of people being confined in one place forcing to question who is trustworthy and who is not. However the people weren't too likeable to me and the ending felt rushed and silly at least in my personal opinion.

The ending to me felt very rushed and one good thing that was done by a character in the book didn't really feel earned by the end. There were a lot of plot holes that sort of lead us to nowhere and didn't follow through with them at either points in the book. I wished we could have got more and at points I just felt bored if I'm honest.

This book really didn't live up to the expectations I had for it, I wish that there was a bit more thrills and less predictability.
