Cole Ashford

She thought the neighbors were just private. She was wrong. When Claire notices small changes next door-a shifted trash bin, a door left slightly open, curtains that never quite move the same way twice-she tells herself it's nothing. New neighbors bring new rhythms. New habits. Nothing to worry about. Until they start watching. A plate left on her counter appears outside. Words begin to surface where none existed before.
And every time Claire gets closer to the truth, it vanishes-rewritten, erased, or denied by the one person she trusts most. Her husband. As the line between inside and outside begins to blur, Claire realizes this isn't about the house next door anymore. It's about perspective. Position. And the terrifying possibility that the danger isn't coming from outside at all-but has been carefully guiding her from within.
Because someone has been watching her. Someone who knows exactly where she stands. And they need her to look a little closer. Perfect for readers who love slow-burn psychological tension, unreliable narrators, and domestic thrillers with devastating twists. If you enjoy stories where nothing is quite what it seems and every detail matters, this is the book that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
Lock your doors. Then start reading.
