CarolG's Reviews > The Unraveling

The book blurb desribes this as a "chilling, sizzling, and addictive thriller" which "follows a New York psychiatrist’s dark descent into dangerous obsession". And that's all I'm going to say. I recommend going into this without too much preconception.

Oh.My.God.! I've read some really good books lately but it's been a while since I came across one that grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and wouldn't let me go. I could've stayed up all night reading it but forced myself to read some of another book to get calmed down. I was on tenterhooks trying to figure out where the story was going and whether I was misinterpreting parts of it. Now this book isn't perfect by any stretch but I was totally immersed and entertained. The main characters are unlikeable and there are a couple of really steamy scenes that I could've done without but the suspense made up for it. As other reviewers have mentioned, Meredith (the psychiatrist) tends to overindulge in the wine and I found myself thirsting for a glass or two! I waffled between 4 and 5 stars but decided it deserved 5 stars from me.

My thanks to Atria Books via Netgalley for the opportunity to read an ARC of this novel and my apologies for missing the publication date. All opinions expressed are my own.
