October Watched
October is oranges and pumpkin spice. Ghouls on porches and dead leaves underfoot. It’s fall break for college students and kids alike. a season of cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and carefree nights.
That’s what Maple thought she was signing up for.
She imagined a week of pumpkin spice lattes at her part-time job at Willow Blends and being reluctantly dragged to dorm parties by her wild twin roommates, June and Fern.
But after one of those parties, everything changes.
A masked man begins to follow her, not openly, but obsessively. Her favorite flowers, her favorite snacks, even her preferred brand of pen begin appearing on her doorstep. No name. No note. Just him… always watching.
A part of her is drawn to the mystery. She wants to unmask him.
But her instincts whisper a warning she can’t
He knows too much. And he’s far from safe.

Marley O'Connor
36 books7 followersHi, Dragons! My name is Marley O'Connor. I am an indie author. I have been writing and reading since grade school! I use the love of writing and reading to escape life's stresses. I had a gray and hard childhood, so that was my escape home. Other than my book dragon tendencies, I am also a mother of two children and one fur baby. I also work full-time as a Supervisor Environmental Services Cleaner at my local medical clinic. When I'm not working or working on my next book, I enjoy watching true crime documentaries or ancient history documentaries!

I am officially unwell. October Watched completely sucked me in with its dark atmosphere and intense stalker vibes. Marley O’Connor knows how to write a mystery that keeps you guessing—I was constantly trying to piece together the connection between Ares and Atropos. I had a feeling they were the same person, but the 'who' behind the partnership totally stumped me!
That being said... the ending. I am heartbroken. Ending on a massive cliffhanger when there is no other book in the works (and the status is uncertain) is a special kind of torture. Read this for the incredible tension and the plot twists, but be prepared to scream at the final page.
