ARE YOU REALLY HOME ALONE?
Sixteen-year-old Connie has been dragged into the world of vlogging - her mum Lou's vlog is hugely popular, enough to bring in money for a new house, expensive lifestyle . . . and a lot of criticism.
While Lou and Connie's older sister Isla are touring colleges, Connie stays home alone, where she becomes increasingly paranoid about comments on the vlog. Plus someone is turning up at her school and following her on her way home.
Then Connie's best friend is attacked - the third teenage girl attacked in five weeks - and suspicion turns to Connie. Connie doesn't know who she can trust any more and goes on the run. But will the killer - whoever they are - catch up with her?
Another terrifying, twisty thriller from the queen of surprise endings, Natasha Preston.

An enjoyable and timely thriller.
A devilishly tense, murky and fast-paced YA thriller, The Obsession peers into privacy, social media, paranoia and distrust. It's ideal for sixth-form book clubs.
A gripping thriller.
