DESCRIPTION:

This chilling, sizzling, and addictive thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland follows a New York psychiatrist’s dark descent into dangerous obsession.

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.

MY THOUGHTS:

Dr. Meredith McCall has an obsession. As obsessions usually go, this one is unhealthy. And unusual. With her career is on the line as a result of tragic events, Meredith has been spiraling downward. Gabriel Wright is the object of Meredith’s obsession, and the choices and actions she takes become worse and worse.  

With her license having been revoked for a year, one might expect that someone of her profession would be quite careful in the decisions they make. However, even though she is receiving psychiatric treatment herself, she cannot let go of the obsession she has with Gabriel Wright. 

The pacing in this book was off the charts! With then and now chapters, including an utterly tragic and heartbreaking event, I was thoroughly glued to the pages of this book. Should I mention the twists? Yes, the twists! They just kept on coming. And…the ending. I had to go back and reread it. Twice. 

Many thanks to Atria Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
