It's been forever since I felt enthralled on a book that I read at one sitting. This book is such a compelling read that it allows the reader to look inside the mind of a mentally unstable person and how it feels to observe truth, lies and deception into the characters. Without spoiling the book, the setting of the story revolves around a secluded castle-like estate miles away which is owned by a renowned Psychiatrist, Dr, Adrienne Hale. She disappeared without a trace and her gigantic estate captivated the attention of a newly-wed couple, Tricia and Ethan while searching the house of their dreams. The couple stayed for a refuge in that secluded manor while trapped in a blizzard. One night, Tricia discovered lots of mysterious audio tapes from the Psychiatrist herself interviewing her patients. She became invested on listening to each of the tapes and the truth it might unfold.
It took me hours to finish the book. It is such a page turner and every chapters ends with an open-ending thoughts that absolutely caught my attention. Although seldom I find the writing of some character's point of view, similar. The ending is such a plot twist. (Actually, there's a lot of plot twist about the characters) I wasn't expecting some of the events that had turned out. I also checked some of Freida McFadden books because I like her style when it comes to crime/mystery/thriller stories. I like books that are somehow straight-forward (not develops slowly), captivating and easy to read.
