Hi Veekay30, I really enjoyed this books the tension is immediate, and the quiet street setting works beautifully. I loved how you balance fear and attraction, that push and pull between Johanna’s instincts and her curiosity is what kept me reading. The stranger’s dialogue is especially effective calm, unsettling, and just ambiguous enough to feel dangerous. As a reader, I was hooked by the atmosphere and the slow escalation rather than action. If anything, I’d just say the repetition of that magnetic pull shows how strong the mood is you’re clearly building something obsessive and perilous, and it lands. I’m genuinely curious to see where this goes.
