⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4-Star Review for Close Your Eyes and Count to Ten by Lisa Unger
Lisa Unger once again delivers a gripping psychological thriller with Close Your Eyes and Count to Ten. From the very first chapter, the tension is palpable, and the sense of unease builds with every twist and turn. Unger does a masterful job of pulling readers into a dark, unsettling atmosphere that keeps you questioning what’s real and who can be trusted.
The main character is complex and layered, haunted by trauma and desperately searching for the truth. As her past collides with the present, the story takes on a dreamlike, almost surreal quality at times, blurring the lines between memory and reality. Unger’s writing style is immersive, and the emotional depth she gives her characters adds a rich layer to the suspense.
While some plot points felt a bit too convenient or familiar if you’re a seasoned thriller reader, the emotional stakes and haunting tone more than make up for it. The ending delivers a satisfying punch, tying things together without being overly neat.
Overall, Close Your Eyes and Count to Ten is a chilling, emotionally-charged thriller that lingers long after the final page. Perfect for fans of psychological suspense who love stories that explore the darker corners of the mind.
