Dark, twisted, and the perfect, gritty thriller follow up release from Ashley Winstead.
Starting off, Ashley gives the reader a list of trigger warnings that occur in the book so make sure to check into that list before diving in.
I almost felt like Alice falling down the rabbit hole here has Shay Evans and her friend Jamie drag us deeper into the dark underworld uncovered surrounding Shay's college alma mater and the number of missing women in New York.
At the forefront is the dynamic of gender and power in today's society. As Shay and Jamie tried to uncover what happened to Shay's friends Clem and Laurel, they find themselves looking into a cult that has Shay divulging secrets to Jamie about what really happened to her in college in the form of podcast transcripts.
Be prepared to get uncomfortable and buckle up for the last 50 pages or so.
This won't be for everyone and I know a few friends expected me to hate this one, but PSYCH - it's probably going to be in my top 10 books of 2022. You know I can't resist anything culty or with podcasts woven in.
