Im conflicted how i feel about this book. I got easily hooked and wanted to keep reading it almost every chapter ended in a way that made me go just one more. I loved the Silent Patient it was one of my favourite reads and I still recommend it to alot of people. This one had me suspicious of everyone and I did suspect the murderer but not for the right reasons. I really didn't like the motive and the way the book ended. Probably 3.5 stars.

i love love loved the setting of this book. i also loved the greek mythology these throughout it. the twist was great also, i just wish it was a little more fast pace

This book was really really interesting. I had never read a dark academia book before and this book did not dissapoint!! I loved it so much! It definitely was very different from the silent patient, but just as good! I loved the way the author added Theo into the story and it made it that much more impactful. I would highly recommend! This book was clean, which was also a bonus. If you loved the silent patient, and love dark academia this is the book. PERFECT way to start my fall!

Plot was underwhelming and predictable, which is a shame as I enjoyed the writing style.

The only reason I’m rating it so high is because it’s pretty funny in how stupid it is. But MAN it’s dumb. So so dumb. The premise of group therapist solves a murder (with group therapy) is so so funny. Also the inclusion of the character from The Silent Patient, also very funny. 

Was expecting the mystery and book to slay me but felt meh about it. Was a good read and enjoyable. Twisty ending. Wouldn’t not read just wasn’t wow’d by.

Amei demais!! Nunca leio muitos mistérios, mas esse me deixou bastante curiosa, ficava ansiosa pra voltar a ler quando tinha que parar.

O final foi surpreendente, mas em parte eu já desconfiava desde o começo, só não sabia das proporções que tudo iria tomar. Apesar disso, recomendo demais.
