After reading Taunting The Dead by this author a couple of years ago I have been following her career and loving her work and determination. Although I would like to say her writing ability has grown over that time I honestly can not as her unique style of writing was amazing then just as it is today!Watching Over You, although slightly different from her other books was an awesome, breath taking read. The prologue was enough to get my emotions moving so I was well aware this was not going to be a easy read. When you start the book you have a good idea of the basis of the storyline but what I wasn't expecting was to be so emotional from the first chapter. It was as though all my senses was on high alert. I found the story moved very quickly and yet still got to know all the characters well enough to feel a good connection with them. I grieved with Charley, could feel all her pain and uncertainty at trying to move on with her life. Ella had the hairs on my arms stand to attention and my mind racing from the first moment we meet her. I certainly felt terrible for the life she had been dealt yet at the same time she terrified me!  The tension in this book was there from the beginning and it just seemed to build with each turn of the page as did my fear and emotions.  By the end of the book I was not only in tears but a emotionally wreck! This was a brilliant read, I found myself having to remind myself constantly that cruelty does no longer happen in children's home and I was truly reading fiction.When it comes to writing Crime/ Psychological Thriller's no one writes better than Mel Sherratt, she has a way of making even the most emotionally charged thriller so easy to read. I can not recommended this or any of her other books highly enough!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
