3.5. First half of the book was 2 stars for me - second half was definitely 4 stars.
I think I had too high expectations for this book after reading the reviews. It was okay. I give it 3.5 stars. It's a bit predictable. I wouldn't say there are a lot of twists or thrills but I definitely wanted to keep reading to find out how everything resolves.
Whoop!They did it again!!! Even better than the first book this writing dual wrote together!đź’Ą
An intense twisty story that will make your head spin and your heart race! A book that made me check behind me just in case somebody creepy was watching! An absolute must read my psychological thriller loving friends, the hype is real!
Jess is a struggling makeup artist trying to find her way in NYC... in need of money she fakes her way into a psychological research project... The research soon begins to spin out of control, leaving Jess bewildered and concerned... soon lines become blurred and research becomes reality.... A naĂŻve girl, a creepy doctor, and a question of ethics... how much money would it take for you to compromise your morality? And how vulnerable does that make you?
Jess was such a sympathetic character, I really adored her, and oh how I felt for her! She really wanted to help her family out and I think that might have blinded her to some huge red flags when it came to good old Dr. Shields... dr. Shields, yikes! SO creepy! I don’t even want to use a pronoun, because I think it is best to go into this book not even knowing if the doctor is a he or a she.... just know they are one manipulative disturbed SOB! There were so many times during this book I was on pins and needle’s, just waiting to see what the doctor would do next!
This book was an intense ride until the very last word! A different and unique approach to the psychological thriller a twist to the twist! Absolutely recommend, this is one of the best!
*** A big thanks to St. Martin’s Press for my copy of this book ***

It's ironic that the final line of this book is "was it worth it?" Because that's how I feel about this book after finally finishing it. I was annoyed with this book by the halfway point and nearly put it down. I did finish it. There was a very brief period of page-turning about 3/4 of the way through that finally delivered me to the end. It was just ok. Story line was interesting enough but I found that it drew on and on and then became.highly predictable. It wasn't nearly as good as "The Wife Between Us."
Don't you just love those books the make you squirm and scream, "Get the hell out of there!"? Lots of webs spun in this one, and lots of folks caught in them.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC that I could not put down! I finished this book in less than a day! The webs woven throughout this book will pull you in until the very last page! The author did an incredible job of keeping you guessing, uncovering small pieces of information and making you want more! There were times I hated Dr. Shields and times I wasn’t sure if I should feel sorry for her - it was a fast-paced suspenseful story that really made you feel like you were part of it along with the characters!

Thanks to St. Martin's press for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
The premise of this one sounded really interesting and unlike anything I've read. This was a quick read that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the novel.
This one might've been a little slow to start out, but once it picked up, I did not want to put it down. The authors did a great job building suspense and evoking a sense of fear/anxiety at several different points in the book. Jess gets herself into some situations that definitely had my heart pounding. I (loosely) buddy-read this with a friend and a lot of our exchanges were "OMG. This is crazy." "She's nuts! I can't believe it", etc - definitely a good one for a buddy read.
I don't want to reveal too much, but this is a twisty, creepy thriller. A lot of feelings of foreboding/dread as I was reading, which kept me engaged. I thought I was going to finish this one and be like "What the HELL just happened?", but I didn't. That's not bad, it was just a little bit different than I thought. However, I was definitely satisfied.
This was a solid thriller from start to finish and I would definitely recommend it.
I really enjoyed The Woman Between Us and was excited to get my hands on this book. Overall, I felt like this book lacked imagination and droned on and on. It wasn’t the psychological thriller I’d hoped for. The authors also created plot holes with some of their “twists and turns”.
