This isn’t a love story.

It’s a story about obsession.


After experiencing a terrible loss, New York City psychiatrist Meredith McCall feels painfully adrift. When she crosses paths with a man with whom she has a tragic connection, she follows him, sparking an unhealthy obsession with Gabriel Wright. How is he doing so well while her life is in shambles?

But when Gabriel walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical and moral bounds to treat him. Yet, Meredith can’t bring herself to turn him away and becomes further entangled. With her life and career continuing to unravel, it appears that things could not get any worse…until they do.

~ My Thoughts ~

Whatever you do, do not trust the author …

She will take control of your mind, making you believe that you are on to something but at the same time making you doubt your thought process.

I fell into the authors trap, and I am still reeling at what I’ve just read.

Loving, caring, sweet, devasting, heartbreaking, soul crushing, life changing, intensely addictive and sexy as all hell this book has it all.

I cannot remember the last time a book had this type of hold on me. I was desperate for the next word. Literally holding my breath as my eyes flew over the words written on the page and my mind absorbed what I was reading. Not once, not twice but three times I sat in absolute shock and dismay at the curve ball thrown at me. Absolutely brilliant plotting on the authors part.

Seriously, the author’s words have this stronghold over you. You become so deeply involved in what you are reading that you allow the words and thought processes on the page seep deep into your mind and lead you in directions you never could have imagined.

The storyline was so incredibly thought out.

The characters were so realistic, relatable, and vibrant. Each character plays a key role in bringing the story full circle. I found it impossible to realize at the time of reading how each characters storyline was woven so interictally creating a full circle picture.

Emotions were all over the place while reading this story. Sadness, bitterness, desperation, fear and loneliness were just a few that invaded my mind, bringing me deeper into the sometimes-haunting words that play upon the pages.

Did I figure out the who, what and where of this book? Well, I thought I had and that is exactly what I believe the author wanted to happen. As I said, three very shocking what the hell moments that had me pausing my reading, closing my book, reopening my book just to make sure I read the words correctly.  Absolutely brilliant writing left me in shock.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery that gives you all the shock and awe you could hope for, adding in a bit of sizzle and desperation for good measure. I have a feeling that you are going to love The Unraveling.
