Review: Ward D - Freida McFadden - May 2023 Amy has been busy living her life and studying medicine, however, her worst nightmare is about to come true as the part of her study she has been freaking out about is psychiatry as she never wanted to go into this field. This is due to her past as when she was young, she started seeing a little girl and hallucinating. The little girl was like a devil on her shoulders giving her bad advice. The last time she was in a psych ward was when she visited her old friend Jade and the last words Jade said to her was that it should be her in the ward. Now years later, Amy has to spend the night shift on Ward D, and to make matters worse, her old friend Jade happens to be a patient and she's doing the shift with her ex-boyfriend Cam. As the night goes on though, strange things are happening people are disappearing and even some are dying.

Review: See How They Lie - Sue Wallman - March 2017 Recently, I read Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman and enjoyed the read and wanted to give her other books a go. This one I feel followed a bit of a similar trend but not. What I found similar was that both books are set in a psychiatric-type facility - Lying about Last Summer had our main character at a camp for grieving teens and they had to attend therapy. This one is an actual facility with all walks of life. Our main character Mae lives with her family at Hummingbird Creek as her Dad - Dr. Hunter Ballard owns the facility. They live via strict rules and regimes and everything is a token base. Follow the rules and there are no problems, don't follow them or slightly step out of line and that is a whole different ballgame. The book starts with Mae helping Jenna the receptionist out when Jenna walks away, Mae answers the phone to hear that it's her Uncle Frank and to pass the message to her mum that her Mother has died...

Review: Good and Gone - Britney King - October 2022 It has been a while since I have read a Britney King book, but the ones I had read previously I have enjoyed and I have found they are all good psychological thrillers. Good and Gone caught my attention as our main female lead Hailey is a social media influencer/ model and has built up quite a following this is her life, and juggling her family which is her two kids Mason and Lily, and her husband Tyler. The book starts with Hailey's youngest daughter telling her family that she saw the man again outside her window and he wants Hailey. The family dismiss it as Lily is five years old and she also has special needs - they didn't fully touch on it but sounded to me like she was on the autism spectrum. After a tough work day and everything going wrong, Hailey goes for a run. While out and about, she finds herself kidnapped and thus the story begins flipping between her life with the kidnappers and her own family searching for he...
