Book Review: The Stranger Inside by Jennifer Jaynes

Review:

Diane is trying to pick up the pieces after her husband’s suicide. She has two children Alexa and Josh. Diane has a very strained relationship with Alexa who is dealing with some deep issues. When I heard her backstory, I can’t help but feel for her but I wish she would have spoken up sooner about all her issues. Diane also volunteers at a crisis center and one day she gets a strange call about a murder and how she can be the only one to stop them. Talk about creepy!

As the story progresses I pretty much figured out who the killer but wasn’t hundred percent why they were doing the killings. Once it was revealed it does make sense, a lot of sense. Not justifying the killings but I do understand why and hopefully they get some much needed help. Diane also developed a love interest with Rick. I did like her and Rick together and loved the support he gave her during everything but I felt the relationship progressed way too fast.

I’ve never read anything by this author and was in need of a genre change so I decided to give this book a shot. I’m glad I made this decision to read. This book was fast paced, well written and kept me glued to the edge of my seat! The only thing I really didn’t care for was the abrupt ending. I wished we could have gotten to see what happened after the revelations came forward. Despite that issue I still enjoyed the book! I also went and purchased the other books in the series as well.
