According to Goodreads reviews I am definitely an outlier on this one. I did not like it! The author tricked me a few times during the first half of the book, which I thought was pretty cool. As the story continued, it hardly developed at all. The characters sucked and the ending was terrible. I’ve also read the book is a direct copy of King’s Misery. While I haven’t read it yet, I can easily guarantee King did it better. What a weird married couple. Two stars for the two twists at the beginning that I thought were really cool, but after that? Dullness.

So Aimee started to write a thriller, got bored halfway through it or whatever and decided that it would be a good idea to finish the book by copying Misery!

It has been awhile since I last read a thriller. Honestly thrillers at times freak me out because the last thing I want is to not be able to sleep at night due to a book. But I am so glad I decided to pick this up! The story kept me engaged the entire time! I was flying through this just wanting to know what was gonna happen next! I really enjoyed this.
