When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole Book Summary

An instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

"I was knocked over by the momentum of an intense psychological thriller that doesn’t let go until the final page. This is a terrific read." – Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author

*A Marie Claire Book Club Pick* 

Rear Window meets Get Out in this gripping thriller from a critically acclaimed and New York Times Notable author, in which the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood takes on a sinister new meaning…

Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block—her neighbor Theo.

But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be more deadly than advertised.

When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other—or themselves—long enough to find out before they too disappear?

Kept me on my toes. Devoured this book in 40 hours. Honestly - great writing, impactful story and definitely a solid thriller. Would recommend!!

Set Your Expectations Correctly. I purchased this book thinking it would be a fictional thriller. At least the first half is all character development with a few “clues” mixed in. I did learn a lot about gentrification which was fascinating and eye-opening but when ending did finally reveal itself it almost felt too over the top to be believable. Good writing and character development but be aware of what you’re buying.

Enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it!!

When No One is Watching. 3/5 stars Far fetched ending. Hal R

Pretty decent book!. Honestly I though this book had a great amount of suspense and excitement. However I do think it was a bit messy with the characters so I never really got invested into them. I also thought the ending was rushed but full of action.

Let me tell you!. This book is a must-read! My body was so tense reading through this & I couldn’t wait for the next moment!!!

Really great. A must read for everyone, especially white people.

It was pretty good. I feel like things didn’t pick up until the last quarter of the book. Ending felt kind of rushed. It was an "okay" read.

highly recommend. this book starts slow, and i couldn’t exactly see where it was going or how the pieces would fit together, but all of a sudden so many things were clicking and going on and i fell in love.

Slow and disappointing. I couldn’t wait to read this book because a thriller by a black author why not! While the history and knowing a lot of the story is currently happening in our neighborhoods is accurate and interesting, the story DRAGGED and when I thought the story was get exciting…it went back to being boring. The ending was…ok. It just dragged and dragged and dragged I was so disappointed. I love a good thriller…this ain’t it.

Creepy and sad. I felt like I was reading a Jordan Peele movie. This was well written and opened my eyes to yet another injustice toward POC.

Oh brother.... Where is the 0 star rating? Bizarre, racist rant of a book. Very disappointing read, waste of my time and money

It’s a slow burn, but really compelling. If you’ve read other books by Cole, you know that she can write, but this book really lets her talents shine. The story is definitely designed to unfold deliberately - it’s not a thriller full of jump scares and gotcha moments. But to me, that makes the payoff at the end that much sweeter. And the ending manages to be both really satisfying without glossing over the complex realities that Cole has woven in to the story.

Makes you think. At first I wasn’t sure where the story was going but when the floodgates opened, wow. Glad I read this one.

what a ride. this book was wildddd. i stopped breathing at some points but couldn't stop reading. 5 stars, def recommended. sheesh!

Pretty good. Loved the premise of this book. The first half was much better than the second half.

Blew me away. Wow. Perfect. So true so captivating and rage inducing

Lots to think about. I couldn’t put the book down! This is my first Alyssa Cole book I’ve and I enjoyed her writing style. The story gave me a lot to think about and lots to process. A little far fetched in the end, but I appreciated the epilogue. Like I said ..lots to think about.

Worth it if you give it the chance. Seemed slow in the beginning and was waiting for the thrill, but it definitely became a page turner in the last 80 pages or so!

Engaging, twisty - read it in 1 day. This book single-handedly got me out of my reading slump! The pace picks up and stays up for the majority of the book, I loved the psycho thriller aspects and the unexpected romance. The book ultimately shed light on something that is not often spoken about, but that definitely should be. Will be reading much more of Alyssa now!

Two thirds of a triumph. The first two acts of this book are just blisteringly good: whip-smart, funny, simmering with a justified fury and building a growing sense of doom that keeps you turning the pages faster and faster, willing heroine Sydney to win the day. An over-the-top final third dilutes the powerful impact it could have had.
