I tried to give this book a chance... I really did. But it was, quite simply, horrible. No character depth. No realistic storyline. Just horrible...
Lynda Rose M.
Exciting read but not accurate depiction of maintaining boundaries as a psychologist. Once you put the reasonableness of this aside it is entertaining and a fast read

This novel is a perfect example of what happens when the thriller genre runs slightly amok. This novel went so fast and so furious that there was zero character development, too many twists and turns to keep track of, and a plot that strained credulity to such a degree that I skimmed the last forty pages or so just to get it over with. The writing isn't particularly good, either. Skip this in favor of Sheena Kamal or Clare Mackintosh.

Despite the twists and turns I still knew the big twist at the end but nonetheless it was a pretty good read. Writing was great and the character narratives were impeccably done.

Darn, that was one confusing mess! I couldn’t keep up with everyone and their lies, mistaken identities and even an old murder case. But I’ll tell you this - the very best part is the last page! Hang in there with this one!
