Need by Carrie Jones

Goodreads Summary:
Zara White suspects there's a freaky guy semi-stalking her. She's also obsessed with phobias. And it's true, she hasn't exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But exiling her to shivery Maine to live with her grandmother? That seems a bit extreme. The move is supposed to help her stay sane...but Zara's pretty sure her mom just can't deal with her right now.

She couldn't be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of Zara's overactive imagination. In fact, he's still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. There's something not right - not human - in this sleepy Maine town, and all signs point to Zara.

In this creepy, compelling breakout novel, Carrie Jones delivers romance, suspense, and a creature you never thought you'd have to fear.

My Thoughts:
I was attracted to this book because of the cover. Sadly, what they say about you can't judge a book on its cover is completely accurate on this book. I thought this book would be interesting, it was not. I will say that I liked one aspect of this book. Zara has memorized the technical names for fears and repeats them to herself. I liked learning the names of fears as a way to break up sections and chapters in the book.
This book had a lot of potential but it consistently fell short. The dialog was Twilight the movies level of bad. I often found myself rolling my eyes and sighing heavily from annoyance with the book. I almost gave up on finishing it several times. I think it was just sheer will that kept me coming back. Nick the "werewolf" was a bad knockoff of Jacob. I didn't even like Jacob. I am just really tired of the overly protective male leads who are so driven, but incredibly stupid.

I would not recommend this book to anyone.

While writing this review I was listening to Michael Ray and the Plastic Sheets.
