Customer Reviews

This book actually changed my view on life!

Madness has had a hold on me this last month and when I say it's taught me a lot I mean it. It really shows that someone can be going through so many things, horrible things and mask it perfectly. Until they don't. Everyone has a breaking point and this book showcased that amazingly! 10/10 would recommend!

By far one of the best psychological thrillers I have read! Really captures the characters mindset.

I absolutely loved this book! It was enticing and thrilling. Great in every sense of the word. It was graphic and made you feel what the character felt, be in her mind. Not only did it show great imagery but it stuck to the timeline perfectly! Showing what institutions of that time would be really like not holding anything back. Very well done! Not for the faint of heart I'd say but if you have the gumption you SHOULD read this book!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
