Another book with such promise that I can only give three stars too. I hope in 2022 I do a better job at picking thrillers to read. Cassie Woodson is tempting at a new law firm. Her job is to sift through emails and pick out any that stand out. While clicking away, just doing her mindless job, Cassie comes across private emails from one of the lawyers, Forest Watts. Interesting setup for the story considering Cassie is let go from her last job in a very public shameful way. But I do not want to spill the tea you will have to read all on your own.
One-click leads to another and Cassie knows just about everything about Forest. She knows his address, his wife's name, even where he goes for drinks after work. Feeling like it is not enough, Cassie hungers for more information. She needs to know everything about the man. Obsession turns to fear when she finds out just who Forest really is...

It is hard to read a good stalker, obsession book after such amazing books as Caroline Kepnes, YOU. I fell in love with Joe, and now want all my obsessed protagonists to be exactly like him. I was really hoping to see a little bit of Joe, in this book. But it didn’t really meet Joe's standards at all.
Just One Look isn't as much about the need to stalk, as it is about the actual stalking. The obsessive-compulsive needs to know everything but be comfortable and safe in her environment. It wasn’t as dark and as fast-paced as I would have liked. The whole story could have been turned up a notch and perfect. Instead, it was a slow burn that kind of falls flat. Overall, will read again from this author three solid stars.… (mehr)
