Fearscape had me drifting to it whenever I had spare time! This isn’t a fun, happy story at all but it is entertaining. There was always something strange or frightening popping up in this story. This is Val and Creepy Stalker Gavin’s story and the author writes their story pretty darn well.

Val’s friends were underdeveloped, I think but it doesn’t matter much. *shudders* And because Gavin was able to scare me so much I think the author is smiling in self-satisfaction 😛 I genuinely feared him and it scares me that disturbing people like him are starting to become popular as love interest. I sometimes caught myself looking around my room to make sure that Gavin wasn’t coming after me O_O He is the type of psychopath who can easily manipulate people with only words. He is insane, possessive, cruel, and NOT romantic. I wanted to reach into the book and help her along the right path…a path that didn’t lead her into darkness and trauma. But despite her flaws I really liked Val. Her ignorance sometimes frustrated me but I will say that it never seemed forced. This might be why it takes such a long time for her to figure that Gavin is her creepy stalker even though it was completely obvious-so obvious that I don’t even count it as a spoiler. She doesn’t see the world as a scary place that contains risk and bad things. Val is an extremely sweet and naive girl. Instead of being portraying the relationship as romantic like other books do, Fearscape shows the relationship as it really is: dysfunctional, frightening, and chilling. This book shows the reality of a poisonous relationship. I am not lying when I say that Fearscape gave me the chills. Maybe even kill her.Īs her meetings with Gavin unravel into a more complex and frightening relationship, Val can’t help but wonder if the new boy in her life is her depraved and obsessive stalker. He’s charming and poetic and makes her feel things that she thought were only possible in books–īecause somebody is stalking Val. So when Gavin Mecozzi, the school’s brilliant but twisted loner, begins to show an interest in her after a chance meeting in a pet store, Val is intrigued. There’s a saying that curiosity can kill … but Valerian Kimble is beginning to learn that satisfaction might just be worse.įourteen-year-old Valerian lives in an age where antiheroes and bad boys are portrayed as the romantic ideal, and good guys are passe and boring. She trusted him because she wanted excitement. Synopsis: He followed her because he wanted to own her.
