[Gillian · Rating 4 out of 5]

This follow up to I’m Not A Stalker was so much fun! I loved the initial book and really enjoyed the tale told through emails and texts. This book is told in a traditional way. I loved seeing how each character (or suspect) reacted to Anissa’s secret admirer. I especially loved Hunter in this book. In the other book, he seems almost too cool and you don’t really get his personality that much. But in this, you get to see and fall in love with his awkward, dorky side. This book was a sweet read that I really enjoyed!

Synopsis: You’ve seen the messages. You’ve solved the mystery.

But there’s more to this story than it seems.

Find out what was really happening behind all those e-mails and texts – from the minds of the five suspects themselves.

This book explores the points-of-view of Hunter, Declan, Matthew, Randy, and Sean in the days leading up to – and during – the messages seen in I’m Not a Stalker. But beware! Not everything is as simple as it may have seemed.

Originally published in a beta version as a series of separate companion books on Wattpad, this book presents the five males’ POVs in a unique and unconventional way, revealing an altogether-different perspective on the original story. Told in narrative format (not texts and messages as the original), this story delves deeply into the lives of some of the most popular characters from I’m Not a Stalker, and contains never-before-seen chapters and insights not included in the original publication on Wattpad.

I’ve not fully read the first book in this series, but I have seen that it’s wrote in mixed media format. While I kinda wish this was wrote in the same manner I feel that this was a cute book overall. The writing was well done and the characters were pretty well developed.

However, I feel that the book was a bit repetitive at times and that the pacing was a bit too slow for me personally. I also felt that the book was a bit too long for my tastes and that it could have been solved sooner, but overall it was really good.

Verdict: A romantic mystery tie in for the first book. Read right after the first book!
