Watched
I received a free kindle copy of Watched by C.J. Lyon from NetGalley published by Sourcebooks Fire in exchange for a fair review. It is a five star novel. While is is geared for the young adult, I believe parents should also be made aware of the existence of this subject, hopefully before it touches their own lives through their children. I also believe educators should be aware of this problem.
It is intense & well written but based on an uncomfortable subject. It stirred extremely unpleasant emotions for me, I felt physically ill at some of the descriptions used to blackmail the two main characters. The Creep aka King is a despicable individual, clearly without a conscience.
It also is a frightening book. I've had a piece of painter's tape over the webcam eye on my computer, but now doubt that is sufficient. That's very scary.
Jesse aka Griffen & Ariel aka Miranda are the two young people who were taken advantage of. They were heroic in their attempts to recover from this horrifying abuse. Can they reclaim their lives after the whole world knows what happened behind closed doors?
Can anyone using an electronic device be cyberstalked? Can a life be ruined even though the original 'capped' video was innocent?
