dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This psychological thriller was literally psychological. While I saw some things playing out, I appreciate being surprised by other twists. 

Mental health is not talked about enough. It's encouraging to see popular authors write about mental health. My undergrad degree is in Psychology, but I'm really glad that none of my internships went like this!
