Book Synopsis

''A fantastic debut - an edge of the seat thriller that keeps you turning the pages'' Patrice Lawrence, award-winning author of Eight Pieces of Silva

An abandoned prison. A deadly game. How far would you go for a dare?

Nia would do anything to win the approval of her boyfriend Scott and his friends, especially mean girl Olivia. When Olivia dares Nia to explore an abandoned prison, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to prove herself. Facing dark tunnels, distant noises and creepy mementoes left behind by incarcerated criminals will surely all be worth it.

But it isn''t long before Nia and her little sister, Kayla, find themselves trapped inside. And then Kayla vanishes.

Suddenly, this feels like more than a game gone wrong. Someone is hellbent on making Nia and Kayla the prison''s last inmates . . .

An utterly compelling, terrifying thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat, from remarkab

Trade Review
I held my breath from the first page. Tightly plotted with a main character to root for, this is tense and immersive addition to the YA thriller genre * Cynthia Murphy, author of Last One to Die *
A fantastic debut - an edge of the seat thriller that keeps you turning the pages * Patrice Lawrence, author of Eight Pieces of Silva *
A genuinely chilling horror and a brilliantly layered tale of toxic friendship, Someone Is Watching You is not only frightening but moving too. Tess James-Mackey's utterly compulsive debut is everything I want in YA right now * Amy Beashel, author of We Are All Constellations *
I flew through this in one sitting - pacey and gripping, told over the course of a few hours, it examines toxic friendships in a terrifying setting. Don't plan for a good night's sleep after this * Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills *
Tess storms on to the YA scene with a relentless thriller full of genuine jump-scares and spine-tingling chills. I couldn't put it down! * Kesia Lupo, author of We Are Blood and Thunder *
This accomplished debut from Tess James-Mackey is fast-paced and fabulously creepy with a convincing and relatable teen protagonist ... The pacy plot kept me turning pages until the early hours, racing towards a brilliant twist I did not see coming * Sue Cunningham, author and early reader *
I tore through this book in a state of breathless excitement. Tess James-Mackey traps you in a tense and twisty tale that won't let you go, even after the final page * Jenny Pearson, author of The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates *
An emotive and gripping thriller . . . It had me turning pages fast, broke my heart and made me squirm * K. L. Kettle, author of The Boy I Am *
Full of creeping twists and turns, readers will devour this fantastic thriller! * Kat Ellis, author of Harrow Lake *
A real roller coaster read. Fresh terrors at every turn . . . * Celia Rees *
A disused prison, a fading phone battery and a dare that could turn deadly. This creepily atmospheric debut from Tess James-Mackey packs in plenty of twists and turns, as well as astute observations about peer pressure and toxic friendships. Fans of Cynthia Murphy and Kathryn Foxfield will gobble it up * Clare Harlow *
