A semi-inflated football and a curious little girl. They called it peacekeeping. For Corporal Lindsey Ryan it was anything but. It’s been three years since that bright day in the Golan Heights and the explosion which killed two and changed the survivors forever. Now Lindsey deals with the many problems of the city’s troubled youth, to distract her from her own. But as damp days turn to night the kids return home, or somewhere like it, and she returns to her own private war. One that exists solely for her. Certain that she’s being watched and certain that she’s losing her mind, Lindsey battles with the demons of post traumatic stress, while a very real threat edges ever closer until she finds herself face to face with someone who wants nothing more than to finally help her to die. And it’s the last person she ever could have seen coming.
While Nobody is Watching is the first crime novel from an author who lived the life of a soldier herself, which explores with authority, expertise, and empathy the dark world of PTSD while telling the riveting story of a battle scarred soldier struggling to find a place in her new world.

My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
Lindsey Ryan is out of the military, but her time served hasn’t let go of her. She’s just trying to do the best she can day after day, but someone is stalking her, eroding what little sanity she has hung on to. Will Lindsey survive combat only to succumb back in civilian life?
This is a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Lindsey is going through a lot. PTSD is no joke, but she doesn’t want help from anyone. Which frustrates me, but hey, to each their own. Even if their coping mechanisms are shit. Anyway, the characters are great, the mystery stalker kept me guessing, and the best part is Frank, the dog. Because, you know, doggo! Doggos always get star billing.
