Review

I have mixed feelings about this book. This is a very bingeable read. I can certainly see why this book is getting such good reviews, but what I felt was an obvious plot, the final twist at the end was predictable. I also found the steamy scenes added to the story unnecessary. This is not a romance novel after all. We don’t need that. We want answers. Answers you won’t get!

You can tell this book was written by a romance author, but you can definitely see some potential there. I think Vi Keeland will get better at writing this genre if she writes more books.

Overall, a dark and seductive and alluring story. But it lacked the feel of a true thriller for me with the “twists” being somewhat predictable.

This isn’t a love story.

It’s a story about obsession.

After experiencing a terrible loss, New York City psychiatrist Meredith McCall feels painfully adrift. When she crosses paths with a man with whom she has a tragic connection, she follows him, sparking an unhealthy obsession with Gabriel Wright. How is he doing so well while her life is in shambles?

But when Gabriel walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical and moral bounds to treat him. Yet, Meredith can’t bring herself to turn him away and becomes further entangled. With her life and career continuing to unravel, it appears that things could not get any worse…until they do.
