aberthold 's review for:

The Locked Ward by Sarah Pekkanen
3.0
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The Locked Ward was a fun thriller read.  There were moments of predictability and a little bit of cheesiness.  But overall I really enjoyed it.  I thought the characters, though unlikeable, were well developed.  The sister element really made the story.  I enjoyed reading both Georgia and Mandi's sections equally.  I thought that the dual POVs served the story in that it was never boring from the very beginning straight through to the end. 
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
