Synopsis:Every person has a story to tell. Some may be sweet with a happily ever after, but there are others that end in tragedy. Mine has yet to be finished.
My name is Elizabeth Kingston and this is where my story begins.
I never thought my life could be so perfect. I have an amazing job owning my own bakery, and a wonderful husband who I love and who loves me back. Never once did I have to worry about anything, at least, not until the texts started coming in. They always begin the same way … numbers that spell my nickname when read upside down.
31773
It’s someone from my past, only they won’t to tell me who they are, but that by talking to them, I’ll figure it out. It’s a game I refuse to play. Unfortunately, I’m left with no choice when things begin to take a dangerous turn.
His name is Anonymous and there’s only one thing he wants … ME.

I love thrillers that make me feel tense and afraid for the main character and those around them. Anonymous fit the bill! I had meant to read this until I began to get drowsy one night but I became so captivated by the story that I ended up staying up and finishing it in one night. I had to know what was going to happen! I enjoyed the progression of the book from the first moment that Elizabeth is contacted by her stalker on. At first, it seemed like a harmless text but it quickly turns into something far more dangerous and sinister. I loved the tone of the story which I attribute to the writing style of the author as well as the choices and personality of the main character. Elizabeth doesn't want to believe that there is someone out there that means her harm but eventually can't wish away what is happening. There is someone watching her. Someone that wants her for his own. 
I thought that the identity of the stalker was obvious but I enjoyed how everything played out in the story. The reasoning behind the stalker's motives made sense and in the end the author showed what a twisted and skewed perception he had. I wish that the book would have been longer. i woud have liked to have seen the stalker developed even more and maybe even had his point of view in the story. I thought that the characters actually made decisions using common sense which I appreciated. I could understand why they made certain choices because I believe that I would have made similar ones.
