What if you lost everyone in your family?
Ella's dream of becoming a ballerina are fractured with the death of her grandmother, the last in her family. At only 16 years old she is alone, trying to forge her way as a ballet dancer, studying and training hard while working in a restaurant to make ends meet. Dejected and alienated, she fails one ballet audition after another. It is then that she meets the handsome neighbor she has been watching from across the street. Be prepared for not-quite-what-they-seem lives, betrayals, and manipulation. This inspirational thriller ballet book is full of twists and turns and gripping to the last page.
This novel is full of twists and turns, and the feeling of menace steadily grows. Ella has no idea that the seemingly innocent practice of spying on her neighbor will put her in grave danger.
"Confessions of a Neighbor, is a wonderful suspense story that takes you for a ride on the roller coaster of unexpected events one after the other, so beautifully that it's hard to put down. The story is about a young 16-year-old girl Ella, who has a dream to be a ballerina, but losing her close ones breaks her heart and leaves her lonely and sad. Then she became a victim of being stalked, and she is worried and scared. The book is her inspiring journey of fears, insecurities, her loss and determination and love to pursue her dreams. The author has done a beautiful job in creating a sense that makes you feel the emotional ride of Ella as you read the book. The detailed description of beautiful scenes of Switzerland is a bonus. All in all an intense, psychological mystery." - Archie
"This is a disturbing and entrancing book at the same time, perhaps because it reveals the vulnerability that anyone can have in their lives. The modern age is a frightening place where information is impossible to bury, and leaving your past behind is harder than you think. Ella is a talented and passionate ballerina that has been dealt an unfair hand in life, and we see her very real struggles on the pages of this novel. Not only does she have personal demons and professional fears to juggle, but the unwanted attention of a neighbor and the rising sense of fear in her days adds an extra dash of suspense and tension to this taut thriller. The pace is slow and methodical, like a slowly building threat, and just when readers are beginning to plateau, a new depth to this mystery is revealed. Lenz writes with a real sense of human nature, and has the ability to capture emotions in a compelling way - a skill she puts on full display with the gamut of Ella's feelings in this memorable read." Veritas Vincit for Reader's Favorite
Be prepared for not-quite-what-they-seem lives, betrayals, and manipulation. This psychological mystery set in Switzerland is impressively creepy.Noch keine Bewertungen vorhanden
