Why read it?
1 author picked Girl Targeted as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love to read international thrillers, especially murder-mystery thrillers. Part of the fun of investigating identity as a theme is challenging the identity of the characters surrounding the protagonist of a story. Author Val Collins did just that in this book.
I loved that the author created a protagonist who felt both vulnerable and relatable. The issues she faces at home help balance out the murder mystery element, allowing me, as a reader, to question each character that comes into her life.
From Anthony's list on The best horror/thriller books that question identity.
