UnknownI watch him from the shadows, capturing his essence through a tiny lens.Every inch of his skin I have committed to memory, I know his body as well as my own.I’m waiting for the right moment to let him catch sight of me.Just like the way he seized my attention so long ago.ThomasUnease and fear are my constant companion; a side effect of the eyes I can sense on me, watching my every move. I … me, watching my every move.
I don’t know how to make the feeling stop.
The not knowing if someone is lurking out there, just waiting for me to drop my guard is making me lose my mind.
Mason
I wish I could tell Thomas how he makes me feel.
The feelings that I hide are consuming me, making it harder to face him.
I’ve wanted him for years, but never found the strength to admit the truth.
The lie is getting harder to tell, and every day I feel myself starting to slip.

Ally Michelle has done a perfect job creating an eerie, suspenseful and yet scorching hot read. I could not devour the words fast enough even though I didn’t want it to end. I needed to know what would happen and Ally Michelle kept me on the edge!
The character development in this is really strong. Each POV chapter from Mason, Thomas and Unknown just captivated me even more. The world building was vividly done and made it impossible to put the book down.
This story is a rollercoaster of emotions. My thoughts changed from moment to moment as I tried and failed to figure out what would happen. In Plain Sight runs all the way from creepy to wow I need a cold glass of water. While this is Ally Michelle’s first M/M book I hope it won’t be the last because I need more words!
5 stars for a suspenseful and sizzling read!
No way! Not sure how I feel about that!
(though that was probably the point )
Thomas has it all – A great job, A sexy (though a bit costly and overall selfish) girlfriend and a best mate he has known since middle school. Life is good. Until a stranger’s obsession with him invades (quite literally) his life. Not knowing who to trust Thomas’ fear slowly begins to affect his daily life. Unable to function or even sleep Thomas ends up at Mason’s – the only place he feels safe.
As things slowly unravel emotions are revealed and Thomas discovers he has always had his one true love within arms reach.
The chemistry between Mason and Thomas is explosive, and the way their relationship developed- perfect romance
I read this cover to cover in one sitting- I am still a bit shocked at the turn of events!
If this was my world my first instinct would have been to RUN!
Suspense – check
Oh hell no moments – double check
Steamy first love – TNT check
I dont read alot of M/M books but I loved this one. It had me from the beginning to the end. The suspense of the story was great and it kept me wanted to know what was going to happen next. This is a fantastic read.
This was a great book. It gripped me from page one and never let go
This was not your typical romance. It was dark and suspenseful and is definitely one of those books that makes you question your sanity a bit. The characters are detailed but a few things are kept from the reader and it kept me guessing in the story. The authors did a great job of turning a bad character into someone that you sympathize with a little bit.
I loved every chapter we got from Unknown because of how messed up he was. I kept wondering how far he was going to go to accomplish his goals. And then we get Thomas and Mason and the dynamic was interesting and kept me wanting to see how the story played out. There were a few things that I wish were addressed in the story and I wanted to get a few more things cleared up by the end. However, I was content with the ending and the twist!

This is my favorite Ally Michelle book to date!
A dark and twisted story that will have you on the edge of your seat the entire ride.
These ladies brought out the suspense out completely. You will be left guessing who “Unknown” is the entire time.
Thomas, one of our heroes in the story. Explores not only his new sexuality, but flourishes even with a shadow lurking in every corner.
Mason, our other hero. The best friend, always there, always second best. He finally takes charge of his feelings and goes for it.
And when they do, OHH EMM GEE!! Fireworks! Some scenes should come with a warning, because I was left a panting, squirming mess!
This story has it all. Suspense, love, friendships, some major WTF just happened moments, and we cannot forget the steamy factor. Cannot go wrong with MM tale!
Mind blowing! What a gripping darker m/m read with stalker elements, twists and turns, mystery and suspense. Fantastic characters, a well thought, laid out story line and darker erotic heat make this a must read! Just WOW!
Does love become obsession or obsession become love?
From the first page this book drew me in, I was mesmerized and in need of a cold drink and steady fan. The characters of Mason and Thomas were well developed and thought out. I liked their connection. I love MM books and this one doesn’t disappoint in that category AT ALL!
The plot was interesting but the book levelled off for me after about 20%; and by 8% I knew who “Unknown” was and therefore the rest of the book lost its magic for me.
While the scenes between Thomas and Mason where hot (and I mean HOT) thats all I felt this book really was, just a lot of sex and showers, almost a sex addiction romance, not that this is a bad thing, it just wasn’t balanced with the rest of the plot. I felt the story was too long for what little action takes place. There were so many plot holes, continuation errors and inconsistency issues that I had trouble staying focused. The story just felt too rushed. Maybe if the author had just slowed the passion down, introduced the world a bit more and had a longer (slower burn), I think I would have loved this story rather then just liking it.
Over all it was a nice read. I didn’t find it particularly dark, more predictable with a lot of heat. I can see from other reviews that I am the minority here, so please understand that this is just my opinion on how the story worked for me. Others seem to really enjoy it, so I would say give it a read and decide for yourself.
OH MY FREAKING GOSH!!!! In Plain Sight is freaking fantastic. I love the suspense, the mystery, the dark parts and of course I love Thomas and Mason. I cant rave about it enough. It was and us everything I needed!!!
Ally Michelle had me on the edge of my seat the whole book. When the answers were finally given I was floored and didnt see it coming. It was so perfect for the story.
I’ve become a huge fan of M/M romances, and this one hit the spot! I loved Thomas and Mason’s characters, and the mystery POV was so enticing! It has some hints of dark, but it’s not so black that it takes away from the plot, suspense and steam. I loved their chemistry, the scenes were leaping off the pages, and I even got in a good chuckle here and there. Great well-rounded story!
Eerie, creepy, slightly dark and disturbing but such a great read.
Thomas is constantly on edge when he realises he’s being watched. Things get worse when his home is broken in to. He no longer feels safe at home and decides stay with best friend Mason but can’t tell him the truth about what’s happening.
Mason is more than happy to have Thomas stay, it’ll be like college. Only it’ll make keeping his secrets harder.
Unknown is creepy, unhinged and will do anything to get Thomas all to himself. Just how far will he go to get what he wants?
I loved how fast paced this story was. The shorter chapters and multiple POVs make it seem like you blink and you’re finished. The characters and story were so gripping I found it difficult to put it down.
I look forward to the next one by this author duo.
Thomas seems to be the object of everyone’s attention, even his own bff wants him and he doesn’t even know it. But he also is feeling like he is being watched, and doesn’t feel safe even in his own home. I haven’t read to many m/m books but this one had me hooked. Had me hooked from the first page, I needed to know what was gonna happen, and how this was gonna end. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
