Summary
On the day author Mari Morgan receives the email, she has little left to live for.

The message—simple yet utterly life-changing—offers a glimmer of hope to her dismal existence. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime, and if she takes it, it could change everything.

Mari’s immediate sense of unease is eclipsed only by her curiosity—elicited from the supposed fan on the other end of the email. Unsatisfied despite doing her due diligence, and with no way to discern the legitimacy of the sender, Mari takes a leap of faith and replies.

What harm could come from one innocent message?

Soon, as she comes face to face with her ‘number one fan,’ it’s all too clear things are not what they first appeared. Now trapped by a villain far more sinister than she could’ve crafted herself, the fate awaiting her is inspired by the darkest depths of the monsters in her own novels.

In order to escape and survive, Mari must use the strength of the heroines she’s spent years writing about. But this villain has spent years inside her worlds, too.

How will she defeat an evil who has learned from the best?

For fans of Misery, YOU, and Behind Closed Doors, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a haunting tale of obsession and survival in the form of a writer’s worst nightmare come to life.

Now I see how this novel got published - it is self-published by the author! I have never laughed so much at a "thriller" in my life! It is entertaining for its (unintended) humor, and for nothing else. Some examples: a young woman is held in a basement room, is bare-footed; her abductor leaves the room, leaving his boots in the room and the door unlocked. The narrator (i.e., the trapped woman) actually says that as she put her bare foot into the boot, she realized how unsanitary this was (!!) - she was trying to escape with her life - who would think of the "unsanitariness" of it?? Another one: the woman had not been fed by her abductor for several days but then he comes down and leaves her some lunch - she actually says to herself that the lettuce was brown around the edges - "but no matter'! There was more, and more. It was a freebee, maybe that was why it was offered. The narrator did her best with the material and managed not to laugh.

The story was engaging and pulled me right in. The ending was the perfect plot twist. It gave a detailed explanation for the madness and chaos. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

This book was painful and frustrating to get through. It was too much a Misery wanna-be. The only thing that made this book worth listening to was the ending. It
