I enjoyed this book. There was diversity throughout and good storytelling
It’s dark but worth it.

This was meant to be a new year read for me, but I made a rookie error and started reading it on 28th December.... I had finished it by 30th :)
So as my last book of the year, I was really really impressed. A fast paced, but also slow burning novel - if that can be? It had so much build up to the main event, but also so much happened in that build up that it never felt slow or filler-y. It was perfectly written with 100% creepiness at the fore.
Sheila is a psych professor, who's having an affair with a student, Ethan. She gets engaged to someone else and breaks off the affair. Ethan then turns into the psycho stalker from hell and it all goes to pot. We follow this crazy ride right through until a creepy cliff hanger ending.
Ethan is absolutely insane, he's textbook antisocial personality with psychopath tendencies and he is just the creepiest guy ever. What starts as controlling and coercive behaviour soon turns deadly and Sheila is basically fighting for her life!
Loved this so much, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

I thought I had already rated and reviewed this book since I read it late last year but I guess I had forgotten (obviously since I'm only getting to it now...hahaha!).
The book's title is perfect. The lead antagonist, Ethan, is really creepy in that his sick and twisted mind makes your skin crawl in fear. The lead protagonist, Sheila, is not your perfect heroine in that she's made one too many stupid choices and is now paying for them.
"Creep" is a great debut novel from Jennifer Hillier and it leaves the door open just a crack for the sequel, "Freak", which I shall be purchasing once it's available in mass market paperback in a couple of months or so. ^.^ Hillier is definitely a suspense/thriller author to keep an eye on.
