Ward D by Freida McFadden

tense fast-paced

3.0

This was okay but, having read a couple Freida McFadden books now, certainly not my favourite one.

I was feeling conflicted as I was trying to piece my thoughts together as I did finish this veeery fast. However, by the end I was in a state of 'that was it?' but at the same time I don't know what I was expecting to be honest. I've been in a huge thriller mood all summer and I've always been thoroughly entertained while reading this author's books. The pace was good and I finished it quickly, but it felt just okay.

I still stand by my opinion that The Housemaid is still her best book - at least for me.  Not sure if it's being used to some wild and wacky twists by this author and feeling underwhelmed by this one. The mental health rep wasn't the best either - some of the characters felt more like caricatures than characters at times -  so this left me feeling a bit lukewarm about this overall reading experience. 

Not horrible but not a personal favourite! Might still check some of the other books, they're very bingeable in general.
