Reviews
"...if "Rear Window" and "Get Out" got married and had a baby that was a book, it would indeed be "When No One Is Watching," which takes place in contemporary Brooklyn and combines a page-turning thriller with shrewd social commentary on race, gentrification and greed.", When No One Is Watching is romance writer superstar Alyssa Cole's debut thriller...It's a really creepy, smart page-turner., One of our fave romance writers is out with a psychological thriller. This buzzy fiction book follows a woman who's looking into the gentrification of her Brooklyn neighborhood. Turns out there's something a lot more sinister going on. Cue paranoia, suspense, and some 'Get Out' vibes., 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., When No One Is Watching is inspired by Cole's own experiences, and examines gentrification via the erasure of Black people from Brooklyn's history--with quite the suspenseful twist., Combining the voyeuristic paranoia of Rear Window with the searing social commentary of Get Out, this thriller from Alyssa Cole turns gentrification into fodder for a horror movie., 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., The dangers of gentrification turn very literal in romance veteran Alyssa Cole's unputdownable new thriller., 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 Cole's ability to craft a story, it's just as much about people as it is about place. The themes Cole explores throughout--racism, white greed, sickness, addiction, encroaching gentrification--are ones that are acutely aligned with the current social climate., This book was a lot of fun, sexy, with a compelling story. I really enjoyed the romance... Lots of erotic tension and a deeply satisfying ending. Definitely dive into this one., The novel couldn't be timelier, and it's been praised as 'Rear Window' meets 'Get Out.' So yeah, you're going to want to read it ASAP. No spoilers, but: holy plot twist.

Synopsis
An instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER! "I was knocked over by the momentum of an intense psychological thriller that doesn't let go until the final page. This is a terrific read." - Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author *A Marie Claire Book Club Pick* Rear Window meets Get Out in this gripping thriller from a critically acclaimed and New York Times Notable author, in which the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood takes on a sinister new meaning...
