Book Synopsis

With "top-of-the-line thriller writing" (Jeffrey Deaver) and spinechilling tension, the USA TODAY bestselling Creep series begins with this terrifying cat-and-mouse game between a woman with everything to lose, and the lover she couldn't resist...who's now the monster who won't let her go.

A popular psychology professor in Seattle, Sheila works hard to keep her secrets hidden. On the surface, she's an expert in human behavior and a well-liked educator, but nobody knows she's a recovering sex addict in therapy--and she needs it to stay that way, or she could lose everything.

But Ethan Wolfe is impossible to resist. The graduate student is brilliant, charming, and seductive as hell. He's also Sheila's teaching assistant, and thirteen years her junior. Ignoring the risks, they begin an illicit affair that lasts three months until Sheila finally puts a stop to it.

But Ethan can't move on so easily--after all, he didn't pursue his professor for as long as he did without plans of his own. When the body of one of Sheila's students is discovered floating in Puget Sound--a young woman Ethan was rumored to have dated--it's clear that the graduate student has secrets of his own. And he's not about to let Sheila get away.

Review Quotes

"An agreeably frightening debut...packs a considerable wallop." --Publishers Weekly

"An engaging thriller, with the kind of twisted story that makes you a bit queasy even as you can't look away...Hillier nicely keeps readers on their toes...Psychological thrillers are tough to execute, because their authors must create stories that infiltrate readers' minds, pulling them into the plots as more participants than observers. Hillier pulls off that sleight of narrative hand with remarkable skill." --Booklist

"As summer reads go, fans are going to have a hard time finding anything as tense, page-turning and bothersome as Creep, a truly frightening debut from Jennifer Hillier." --Suspense Magazine

"Hillier will likely have best sellers in the future thanks to her suspenseful plotting and solid character development...this fast-paced page-turner will keep fans of Lisa Gardner and Chelsea Cain guessing." --Library Journal

"Top-of-the-line thriller writing...."
--Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of Carte Blanche
