The Therapist by S.A. Falk
4.0

I am a sucker for a therapy-themed thriller and thankfully this did not disappoint. If you enjoyed The Silent Patient, you will likely love this too.

While I did end up guessing the twist, I still questioned myself til the very last moment. Overall the pace of this book was great and kept me intrigued. There was a little bit of a drop in interest towards the last 20-30ish percent but that was mostly due to a lot happening quickly and without as much detail. I would have loved to have seen maybe a dip in detail in the middle and an expansion on the ending happening.

This was a bit gorier than some thrillers but not to a point that made it tough to palate for me. I enjoyed the detail provided to help build the character's overall level of psychosis. Some topics can be triggering to read about such as religion, demons, CSA, mutilation, and suicide/self-harm so it may not be for all audiences.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Storm Publishing and SA Falk for the advanced read opportunity. I will be looking into The Patient’s Secret as well to see more of this author.
