Sixteen-year-old Kara is about to realize her dream of becoming a professional baker. Her cookies are masterpieces and her ticket out of rainy Seattle—if she wins the upcoming national baking competition and its scholarship prize to culinary school in California. Kara can no longer stand the home where her family lived, laughed, and ultimately imploded after her mean-spirited older sister Kellen died in a drowning accident.
But the past holds many secrets, and they come to light as Kara faces an anonymous terror: Someone is leaving her handwritten notes. Someone who knows exactly where she is and what she’s doing. If Kara doesn’t figure out who her stalker is, and soon, she could lose everything. Her chance of escape. The boy she’s beginning to love and trust. Even her life.
Media
“Lyrical prose + riveting mystery + mouth-watering baked goods = one of the best books I've read in years. I stayed up too late, creeped out and glued to the pages. Shannon's debut marks her as a voice to watch. ”
—Mandy Hubbard, Author of Prada and Prejudice and Fool Me Twice
“I loved Kara's voice. Filled with sweet and spicy characters, From Where I Watch You is a delectable YA thriller. ”
—Jeanne Ryan, author of NERVE
“FROM WHERE I WATCH YOU is impossible to put down, as addictive as the sugar cookies the main character loves to bake. The story’s many ingredients make it uniquely suspenseful, multi-layered, and easy to gobble up. I couldn’t stop!”
-Janet Gurtler, bestselling author of I’m Not Her
“This powerful debut [will keep readers] guessing until the end, which is shocking as the final details are revealed ... a suspenseful and fast-paced read... this novel will do well in YA collections where dark, realistic fiction is in demand.”
–School Library Journal on From Where I Watch You
“The story builds and sustains tension deftly, offering just the right level of clues as to the identity of the stalker. Kara's love of baking is a nifty distinguishing feature, and the author includes her cookie recipe at the end. Involving and suspenseful.”
