![]() ![]() I love her as a character and Xander, boy oh boy, I wish I could have my own Xander. ![]() Not only that but reading about Naomi growing up with the knowledge she broke her family, the death of her mother, and the constant looking behind her back just to make sure she can live a quiet life was so captivating. The image that stuck with me from her POV as a child was how her father was portrayed – the hypocrisy of his character as a family man and as a serial killer. The Obsession is captivating from the first chapter, Naomi’s character as a child is brave and her POV so detailed. Then she makes the villain have a voice and be someone you would not even think about it – because even the villain blends nicely into the characters. She provides a wonderful backstory to the characters and a setting that is informative and descriptive – full of wonderful little details that makes the setting feel real. ![]() When she saves Ashley from a similar fate and brings her to the police, her father is arrested and Naomis world is changed forever. Roberts has a style when it comes to thriller and mystery, at least is a style I have noticed in both The Obsession and The Sanctuary. In The Obsession, twelve-year-old Naomi discovers that her father has been raping and murdering women in a cellar located in the woods near their home. ![]()
