#Repost @alyssacolelit (@get_repost) ・・・ My debut thriller, WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING, is finally here! Pick it up from bookshop.org, your local indie bookstore, or wherever books are sold! What it’s about: Rear Window meets Get Out in this gripping thriller from a critically acclaimed and New York Times Notable author, in which the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood takes on a sinister new meaning… Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block—her neighbor Theo. But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be more deadly than advertised. When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other—or themselves—long enough to find out before they too disappear?

"Before Bevin could answer, two of the finest, fittest men she’d ever seen in her life walked through the door. The new arrivals seemed to take up the entire dining room, looming over the other customers and casing out the joint as if something was about to pop off. Though as Bevin looked around the room, the only thing that would pop off were people’s libidos.⠀ ⠀ Beside her, Patrice’s breath caught and Tamara didn’t quite stifle her moan.⠀ ⠀ . . .⠀ ⠀ Tingles exploding within her body, she turned her back to him to keep some semblance of her dignity, unable to withstand his stare. She busied herself by fulfilling coffee orders, passing the completed drinks to Patrice to give to Tamara. She kept her back to the counter, but she could still feel Tim’s eyes on her like a spotlight."

Tim wouldn’t have pegged her as someone who’d come to this type of establishment, but she seemed completely at home in her booth, shimmying her shoulders in time to the music as her own eyes did a sweep of the floor. The Barrel was a typical dive with peanut shells on the wood-planked floor, comfortable-enough chairs that were sturdy enough for big frames and cheap enough to be replaced in fights that likely broke out every now and again. The music wasn’t bad, either, a surprising mix of Top 40, Metal, Country, and Hip Hop.⠀ ⠀ She obviously enjoyed the track currently playing because she closed her eyes to mouth the lyrics even as her head continued to sweep. He anticipated the moment when she’d open them again. Their eyes were going to lock—he knew it—and he didn’t look away when hers finally met his.⠀ ⠀ He would’ve choked if he’d taken a swig of his beer, the connection more heady than the hops in the bottle. A key slipping into its lock, a puzzle finding its partner, the solution to an equation he never thought could be solved. Her mouth parted, made up of full lips he wanted to greet with his own if he did nothing else for the rest of the night.⠀ ⠀ For more, link to the exclusive excerpt is in my bio! ?⠀ ⠀ #sjfbooks #authorsofinstagram #weneeddiverseromance #wocinromance #love #readmore #shelfie #bookish #blackauthorsrock #romance #diverseromance #ownvoicesromance #romancestagram #romanceauthors #romancelandia #romancereads

His voice was smooth, deep, and decadent; and his Southern drawl made her bite her lip so she wouldn’t ask him to say her name again. —Bevin Moore, TROLLING NIGHTS⠀ ⠀ ⠀ FREE EXCERPT & PREORDER: Link in the bio!⠀ #sjfbooks #authorsofinstagram #weneeddiverseromance #wocinromance #love #readmore #shelfie #bookish #blackauthorsrock #romance #diverseromance #ownvoicesromance #romancestagram #romanceauthors #romancelandia #romancereads
