SOO GOOD!! I haven’t read a book written about psychopaths before (at least not one like this). This one pushes back on the stereotype that all psychopaths are dangerous.

A group of students comes to John Adam’s University for a secret psychology study. None of them know each other, just that they aren’t the only ones there. Throughout the school year, they begin putting together who else might be in the program, but someone else is, too, and the students know they are in danger. On top of that, Chloe agreed to be a part of this study simply so she could be closer to Will Bachman, a guy she grew up with and now holds a grudge against.

This was a page-turner to the very end. While the plot twist wasn’t a total surprise, I was only able to guess a part, but absolutely not the whole! You HAVE to read this twisty, suspenseful thriller.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin for the advanced copy.

There are very few books, or even people, that I’ve found that have spoken into my life quite like Sarah Bessey’s writing can. My story is one riddled with doubt and questions but also joy and hope. It doesn’t make sense, and most churches still don’t think they can all go together. As someone married to a pastor and deconstructing at the same time, I needed this more than anything else. Religion has become a chore and steps to walk through, but this book reminded me that I’m not alone in this. I’m not a terrible Christian because of what I’ve been working through. This is a normal reaction to living in a broken world with churches that are trying to imitate Christ, but still fall short because we’re all human.

I am not healed yet, but Sarah Bessey’s writing showed me why I should keep showing up and fighting through the tough moments and questions instead of throwing in the towel.

This book is not for everyone, because we all have such different walks of faith. If you, like me, have found yourself wandering in the wilderness for any length of time, this book is a reminder that the One Who Sees saw Hagar in the desert and sees you, too.

There are some great lessons in this book, but it wasn’t for me. It felt a little to much like Brené Brown got her work mashed up with Rachel Hollis’. Good content, poor execution. I know that many people have found this book to be revolutionary, and while I don’t agree, I do recognize that there are good things to learn from Doyle.

I never wanted this book to end!! Emily Henry is officially on my instant-buy list. This is a must read!!!
