I received this book in exchange for an honest review
Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.
When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave. But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr. Shields may know what she’s thinking…and what she’s hiding. As Jess’s paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what in her life is real, and what is one of Dr. Shields’ manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly. (Goodreads)
Wow, this was a page turner for sure!
So often when I read these types of psychological thrillers, the main character is extremely annoying. While I didn’t always agree with the things Jessica did, I wasn’t annoyed by her. She was playing things relatively smart given the circumstances.
The story was very well paced and I couldn’t put the book down, especially once I discovered at least what I thought was really going on. There were so many twists and turns in this book, it keeps you guessing the whole way through while remaining completely believable.
If you like psychological thrillers this one is a must!
Overall: 4
