This is a short read, one you could probably read during your lunch hour. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review, and I am so glad I was. It is an intense edge-of-the-seat suspense story about young woman Cathy who believes she has a stalker and she's so spooked she's jumping at the slightest sound and at shadows. This is a tale that will grab you from the start and hold you in suspense till the very end. I could easily see how this could be the first story of many for a great short story collection. I really enjoyed it, and I know you will too. Check it out for a great read!

A tidbit of Horror
A tidbit of horror that left me wanting more. “In the Wrong Mind” starts as a well written story of stalking and turns into something else, with an interesting twist that comes too soon. I wanted more.

What a great little short story. It was a race from beginning to end, I couldn't stop reading.
It's more difficult to write a compelling, and satisfying, short than a full scale novel but the author pulled it off brilliantly.
Bravo! 5 stars!!

Great short story. Quick and intense read. Characters on point. Anita Rodgers captures the emotion of a relentless stalker and infuses the fallout through the challenged mind of the stalked.
