I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or the review itself.
The Book:
In need of money, Jessica Farris signs up to be a part of a study in psychology, specifically ethics and morals. The questions start out slow, but quickly build, and Jessica finds herself drawn in despite her earlier intentions. But what the initial study leads to is something Jessica could never have predicted, and she is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her life.
What I Liked:
This book is so suspenseful! I, like Jessica, constantly found myself guessing what was real, who could be trusted, and what was really going on. There were so many layers of secrets to peel back that I was constantly flipping pages, having to know more and more. There were some really creepy moments too, some psychological horror that left chills.
Anything I Didn't Like?
I'm still a tad unsure how I feel about the ending. I know I like it, I'm just not sure if I love it. Without giving anything away, I'm not sure if it feels like it fits with everything we had learned about the characters. The very last chapter I definitely loved though.
So...?
I would definitely recommend this book. While I didn't love it quite as much as I loved their previous book, The Wife Between Us, this was still a really good book. I can't wait to see what these authors come up with next!
I ended up DNFing this one, I wasn't a fan of the writing style, the first and second person just didn't go well with me. I got confused. I was bored too. I only made it 80 pages so maybe I didn't get to the cool stuff yet, but the style got to me.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it!
I can totally understand this, I struggled with the alternating perspectives too in the beginning. I think I stuck with the confusion at first because I was such a fan of their previous book, and I did feel sticking with it paid off, as it became a book I couldn't put down.
