Nightwatching

The Guardian (London)

The most gripping thriller I have ever read. . . I was astounded at how Sierra kept up the pace in this high-wire act of a thriller, but she doesn t put a single foot wrong.  
Scary Mommy

Nightwatching is just as much a psychological thriller as it is a horror story. Powerful and absorbing, it was not easy to put this book down until I finished it. In my opinion, that is the mark of an excellent story. Highly recommended.
Fresh Fiction

Outstanding. . . As grippingly suspenseful as the plot is, Sierra s first outing boasts other strengths just as noteworthy, from its transportingly eerie setting to its indelible main character, a petite, prototypical 'good girl' pushed to the brink by years of being underestimated, patronized, and disbelieved by men with power. The icing on the cake is the splendid ending, which feels both surprising and inevitable.
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Straddling the line between psychological thriller and domestic horror, Sierra s auspicious debut immediately plunges readers headlong into its unnamed protagonist s waking nightmare. . . tense, emotionally resonant . . . Well-timed flashbacks add context and poignancy. Fiercely feminist and viscerally terrifying.
Kirkus (starred review)

I barely breathed while reading this incredibly tense, chilling thriller.
Good Housekeeping (UK)

Nightwatching is like nothing I've read before. I wolfed it down in two sittings; it's amazing.

Nightmarish you won t be able to look away.
Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

If Stephen King and Dean Koontz co-wrote a thriller, the result would be a lot like Nightwatching. Eerily atmospheric, pulse-pounding and unputdownable, this book will keep you up at night.
Sarah Pekkanen, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Tonight

Very few books are as sharp, clever, and utterly terrifying as Nightwatching. Read at your own risk.
Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End

I loved Nightwatching. It is the most gripping thriller I have ever read.
Gillian McAllister, New York Times bestselling author of Wrong Place Wrong Time

I am trying to think of a book that has grabbed me by the throat more quickly. None comes to mind.
Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author of The Lie Maker

The most gripping psychological thriller I ve ever read. Heart-thumping and mesmerizing, a masterclass in tension and terror, it s also a creative, thoughtful portrait of maternal fear and love--a must read.
Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push

Nightwatching is an intense and claustrophobic thriller--it s terrifying and unputdownable.
Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author of After That Night

Few novels have affected me like this one. Nightwatching is acutely frightening and beautifully written, as tender as it is terrifying. I can't remember rooting for a character quite so hard!
Abigail Dean, New York Times bestselling author of Girl A

Tracy Sierra is an impressive new talent. Nightwatching is riveting, by turns a chilling account of a horrifying ordeal and a whip-smart snapshot of marriage, motherhood, and the female experience in a man s world. Psychological terror at its finest.
Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of The Manor House

Breathtakingly superb on every level. A proper tour de force that delivers the highest possible grip factor from first word to last, and a more satisfying resolution than I dared to hope for.
Sophie Hannah, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple at the Table

Nightwatching is at once a terrifying descent into my deepest maternal fears, a blistering social critique, and an elegiac portrait of what it means and what it takes to endure. One of the most haunting, gripping novels I've read in a long time.  
Katie Gutierrez, national bestselling author of More Than You'll Ever Know

So tense, so thought-provoking.The definition of 'can t put down.'
