WATCH ME

Jody Gehrman's mystery is just plain scary. Not only is she a clever writer, she's a terrific narrator as she performs the sections devoted to Kate Youngblood. Kate is a creative writing professor at a small Ohio college who isn't writing much these days. In addition, her ex is marrying a younger woman, and her best friend is pregnant. Gehrman makes it clear that Kate is starting to feel invisible. But to her student, Sam, portrayed by Holter Graham, she is a goddess. Graham is marvelously creepy as the brilliant young writer who has been obsessed with Kate for years. Graham makes Sam's disturbing visions feverishly real, while Gehrman turns Kate's strong, if forbidden, attraction to the much younger man into a seductive and dangerous dance.
