Right Before My Eyes

What we can see lets us protect ourselves, but what about the things we can't see? The most dangerous threats are often the ones that catch us off guard, forming an abrupt and unsettling feeling that just doesn’t sit right. In "Right Before My Eyes," Angela Diane skillfully incorporates a psychological thriller that obscures the lens between perception and reality. The novel follows Sarah, a college sophomore working to find her place in the world. She flounders with faith, identity, and the eerie feeling that someone—or something—is watching her. Furthermore, Grace Valley Christian College's remote, picturesque campus, with its soaring mountains and quiet halls, conforms to both sanctuary and prison, intensifying Sarah's rising anxiety. As Sarah undergoes the forces of faith and belonging, the novel underscores the chilling world of obsession and surveillance. Through alternating perspectives, the reader is drawn into the mind of a mysterious observer— someone who knows Sarah's routines too well. Here, subtle warnings, misplaced belongings, and a lingering presence in the shadows turn mundane moments into disturbing encounters, leaving Sarah contesting her own sanity.
