Sometimes I like to delve into a good thriller. This was recommended to me, and I have to say, it had me from the first chapter. I was on the edge of my seat! Cassandra is left home with her younger brother, waiting for the sitter that will stay with them while their parents are in Australia. Who shows up? A sitter that they did not expect. Hunter takes these two and from there you will be entranced. Should you like Hunter? Is he crazy? Will these two survive? It has a very interesting plot, that will keep you guessing, all the way to the very end. There are unusual twists and turns, keeping you listening. I loved the complexity of the characters. Cassie is young, but is very intelligent. Her brother is resilient and Hunter had me wondering if I should love him or hate him! I love this kind of story, making me think and kept surprising me.
Narrated by Layla Smith, she had an insight to the story, bringing not only accents, but inflections that fit the each character. I found that she enhanced the suspense and really brought the story to life.

This book could've been better. But the author worked for this. I'm just saying , is making a more trashy book possible ?

The story itself was interesting but I guess now I have read a lot of things like Psycho Sitter on Wattpad but it wasn't quite as satisfying as, for example, Baby Doll or Psychotic were for me. So, the only thing I probably liked was the idea of this book.
I was really irritated by the spelling errors and I felt like I was reading an ARC or something even less because well, there were quite a few issues with the editing of this story. I didn't feel as if it was in the hands of an editor at all nor I found any note of there being an editor. I get it though, the author is young - younger than I am - and I know the pain of writing and editing at the same time but at least she should've gone through the story very carefully before publishing it.
Also a lot of the backstories, like Lily's, were touched so briefly that it left a lot of questions hanging for me. I would've also liked to learn more about Hunter as well as Zach. It was just that the events happened too quickly in a row and I feel like there should've been more base to it, like Cassandra's parents being at home before leaving and a bit of her school life.
I feel like I'm being overly criticizing so I will stop because I don't mean any harm by writing this brief review. If Alex is reading this and feels offended, I'm sorry and I hope you understand. :)
