"What would fall be without a fantastic and nerve-wracking thriller? Enter When No One Is Watching... A fantastic choice for fans of Get Out, this is a compulsive, entertaining, and thought-provoking novel." Shondaland (6 Best Books of September) When No One is Watching is a thriller, Hitchcockian in its essence (those brownstones have plenty of windows, and a love story emerges as well), but with expert character development that demonstrates Coles ability to craft a story, its just as much about people as it is about place. The themes Cole explores throughoutracism, white greed, sickness, addiction, encroaching gentrificationare ones that are acutely aligned with the current social climate. Parade To turn a knotty social and economic issue into a riveting psychological thriller is no easy task, but then again, should we really be surprised the extraordinary Alyssa Cole has done it? When No One Is Watching uproots the steady gentrification of Brooklyn and transforms it into an eerie horror story where 'revitalization' itself is the monster. Elle (The 40 Best New Books Of Summer 2020) "Suspense at its best... you arent going to be able to put it down until you finish it." Book Riot (Best Books We Read in June) "This high-octane thriller hits right where it hurts, taking aim at gentrification and racism as conjoined forces of literary horror Expect major palm sweat as the novel barrels toward its chilling and eye-opening conclusion. Esquire (Best Books of Fall 2020 for Those Long, Chilly Nights) "From the first page of WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING, I felt like I was right there in the gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhood, filled with sharply etched characters and dialogue that zings. Then bam! I was knocked over by the momentum of an intense psychological thriller that doesnt let go until the final page. This is a terrific read." Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author Masterfully written suspense. Beneath a seemingly ordinary setting, Cole weaves layers of dread, all building toward a shocking and satisfying conclusion." Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of City of the Lost With a keen eye for details, Alyssa Cole deftly unspools a rich narrative with compelling characters who live and breathe against a vibrant backdrop. From the bold first line to the exquisitely subtle last, WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING is a top-notch page-turner! Wendy Corsi Staub, New York Times bestselling author "Dread builds and mutates into near-horror... It was eye-opening, sad, shocking, gripping, I devoured it in one go. I recommend SO HIGHLY." Marian Keyes, #1 bestselling author "this outstanding thriller... builds to a credible finale. This stellar and unflinching look at racism and greed will have readers hooked til the end." Publishers Weekly (starred review) [A] searing indictment of the inseparable evils of racism and gentrification wrapped in an anxiety-inducing thriller with elements of romance and horror Cole expertly layers plot twists, raising the stakes until the dramatic finale, and readers will cheer when the real heroes are revealed. Cole is a sure-bet suggestion for romance readers, and When No One Is Watching will expand her already enthusiastic audience. Booklist (starred review) "[T]his twisty tale tackles with a somber wit ongoing issues of race, class inequity, social injustice, and predatory housing practices... This sizzling summer thriller starts on low and heats up fast. Smart, sexy, and surprising, this suspenseful novel revealing the underbelly of urban gentrification will keep readers reading late into the night." Library Journal (starred review) Combining the voyeuristic paranoia of Rear Window with the searing social commentary of Get Out, this thriller from Alyssa Cole turns gentri
