IF HE CAN'T HAVE HER...
Psychology professor Dr Sheila Tao is an expert on human behaviour, so when she begins an affair with charming graduate student Ethan Wolfe, she's well aware she's playing with fire. Consumed by lust and riddled with guilt, Sheila ends their three month fling when she becomes engaged to a kind and loving man who adores her. But Ethan has different plans... NO ONE CAN. When a star student is stabbed to death, it's clear someone is raising the stakes of violence, sex and blackmail on campus. Before long, Sheila is caught in a terrifying cat-and-mouse game with Ethan: the lover she couldn't resist is now the monster who will never let her go.Jennifer Hillier's Creep is top-of-the-line thriller writing. You better call in sick, because you're not going anywhere until you finish reading. Oh, and you might want to lock the door too. Just to be safe. - Jeffrey Deaver
This fast paced thriller will keep fans of Lisa Gardner and Chelsea Cain guessing. - Library JournalAn agreeably frightening debut, a psychological thriller...the book holds its secrets well and packs a concluding wallop. - Publishers WeeklyA twisted riff on Fatal Attraction...an engaging thriller, with the kind of story that makes you a bit queasy even as you can't look away. Psychological thrillers are tough to execute, because their authors must create stories that infiltrate readers' minds, pulling them into plot [and] Hillier pulls off that sleight of narrative hand with remarkable skill. - BooklistJennifer makes her fiction debut with CREEP.
