A review by annettebooksofhopeanddreams
Psychotic by Katie May
5.0
Look, my friends will tell you that I always fall for the good guys. For the sweet guys. For the Matt Donovans. I want the boy next door. However, I can assure you that I also like a touch of arrogance and it seems that when there is a psychotic layer that I can understand and appreciate I'm a goner too. I'm a little sad that this isn't one of May's finished series. Waiting for the next one is gonna be quite hard, although this cliffhanger wasn't as terrible as the previous one.
What I liked about this book is that May took her time to have her characters deal with the aftermath of everything that has happened. I can imagine that some people prefer a little more action and are not a huge fan of our main characters spending so many chapters apart, but I loved all those raw and rough emotions. I loved how they were all dealing with grief and trauma and family in their own way. I loved how every character was forced to bare their soul for us.
And yes, that does mean that the plot is progressing only slowly, but I really don't mind. I like that this story is building and burning so slowly. It feels like what I'm reading is real, realistic. Most girls don't get over guys lying to them so easily, not even if they love her very much and did it to protect her. And most guys are not enthusiast about sharing their one true love with their best friends, not even if they love her very much and only want her to be happy.
And although the plot was progressing slowly, there was that constant tension throughout the book. We knew at some point something would happen. We knew that the danger wasn't gone. We especially knew because May did leave some reminders for us along the way. And this game and story clearly has very high stakes and a lot of people involved. We got very few answers in this book, we got a lot of new questions and I got a little more addicted.
