Started off so well. I was invested in the characters and couldn’t wait to see where it was going. It started to feel repetitive in the middle, and the end was terrible. Why all the details about the other characters if it was going nowhere?

Strong start weak middle and rushed end. Quick read

Literally one of the most boring books I have ever read.. not much else to say
June 28, 2021
📖 The Woman In The Window started greatly and then was super slow for me. This book took too long to read and get into, it completely lost me in the middle. Once I started to get through about 60% of the book, it caught my attention again. I don’t like how short the chapters are (literally about five paragraphs..) that was upsetting.
⭐️⭐️
📖 I wish the first 70% of the book was shorter than it was, it was too drawn out, each character. 75% and up, the book was cooking. I couldn’t put it down and KNEW it was going to be a short ending.. HUGE PLOT TWIST at the end though! I didn’t like how it ended.. I wish it would have gone a little farther with more details but oh well.

Enjoyable
I have enjoyed this series . Very interesting good story line. I still think that the main character is was way to obsessive and no one ever calls her out and sticks to it. Not reality at all! No one ever goes after her or catches on to her. That part does get boring. Overall, I do enjoy reading Cathryn'es books. I will keep reading and hopefully one day this main character will actually get locked up.

This series just keeps getting better with each additional book and has definitely made me a fan. I liked this particular book more than the last few and am looking forward to seeing how the story continues to progress with the next book.

I am a scaredy cat and my roommate handed me this book on a weekend when all of my roommates were out of town. I kept checking the door because I thought I was hearing noises. I don't like scary things, but this book was interesting and confusing and simple.

Felt like the author gave up and rushed the ending.

It was good in the start I felt t was just dragging on towards the middle, I put it away for a bit because I couldn't take reading it anymore. 2 stars is all I'm giving.

Very good and suspenseful. Up until the couple of chapters where all is revealed. Then it feels a little like the author took the easy-way-out to explaining everything.

A woman in the window, with blood
Another fascinating book in this series. I can't stop reading them and I don't want to. I have to see what Alexa will do next.

I'm still torn about this series, i really enjoy some bits and was quite into this but then it kind of puttered out...
September 4, 2021
It was well written but I did guess that they were in her head . I am so glad she fought and never gave up until she was listened to.

It's a while since I read this but I remember enjoying it because it had the element of suspense that I like.

Ending was awful. Like author ran out of time
This book started off well. There were characters that were well developed who went nowhere. Seemingly not a part of the larger story in the end. Their stories didnt really connect. The ending really just stopped. It was as if the author just decided I have 10 pages to finish, and wrote the quickest most boring ending possible. Really a waste of my time to read.
