Review posted at: [...]Rating: 4 starsCarlie never seizes to amaze me with her angst-filled novels, as well as some of her crazy, obsessed characters.  If you've read Carlie's series The Killer Next Door then you'll already be familiar with Natalie and Mac as their best friends to Kate and Neil (the main characters in TKND series).  If you haven't read TKND series, you can still read Beholden to You, you just may feel a little lost at times.  I found myself wanting to slow down Nat & Mac's story because it seemed to be fast paced.  But then I realized that maybe that's what Nat needed, to stop overthinking things because if she had that time I don't think we'd have seen the ending we got.  Nat and Mac both have a fear of abandonment due to both of them having experienced losing their parents and Nat having also lost her sister.  They connect with one another through their shared understanding of grief.  But the connection doesn't stop there as Mac will do anything to protect Nat and keep her safe.  There's also the intense longing they have for one another.  Mac's crazy and obsessed ex makes her entrance and this kept me turning page after page wondering what she was cooking up next.  Does fear overcome Nat? Will she find something to hold on to?  All of this is to be found in her journey.  Give this a try!
