The Ninth Session by Deborah Serani
4.0

Dr. Alicia Reese allows the reader to sit in on her sessions with a patient, Lucas Ferro. Usually what happens between a therapist and her patient are kept confidential. But it seems as if she wants us to know what is going on so that we may make our own conclusions about Mr. Ferro. And we get her impression and interpretation to help us.

I enjoyed how the author set up her “chapters” or should I say sessions. But besides the sessions, we get a peek into her life once she meets her latest client. If you like a book where you can immerse yourself into what is going on than you might enjoy this book. I’m a reader that’s all about the romance but every once in a while I like to stretch my comfort zone. And boy am I glad I did.

It’s hard to believe that I almost didn’t read this book. When the request to review came into my inbox I almost hit the delete button. But once I read the blurb I decided to take a chance. Once I got the book, the physical copy, I read the back of the book and read the little blurb next to the author’s picture. Found it interesting that she had something to do with one of my favorite franchises. I could see this book being a part of the series.

Would I read this book again? Yes I would. One thing I might do differently now that I’ve read it once is wait for the month of June and start again. Then instead of reading chapter after chapter, I will follow the dates that coincide with the sessions. I might have to write myself a note because once I read the first session I will automatically want to continue instead of waiting for the next session date. But then I realized that there will come a time where a stretch of time will pass until I can read again and that’s when I decide this might be a bad idea. Especially when I get to the ending that feels like this story isn’t over yet.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
