Wow! A thriller similar to Stephen King at his best. ( )

A chance to crawl inside the mind & body of a schizophrenic and a masterfully written psychological thriller. Andrew E. Kaufman is amazing in his ability to delve into worlds unimagined by most of us. Once I started I couldn't put it down until it all unraveled. And unravel it does in such an amazing way. Kudos to Mr. Kaufman and I can't wait for his next novel! ( )

This was quite a different read for me. It is told through the eyes of Christopher, a psychologist working at a mental hospital who has a family history of schizophrenia and fears he will go down that path. He has an understanding wife, and a son - Devon - whom he idolizes.

His life begins to unravel, and he has periods of confusion that seem to be lapses in time. He is dealing with a frightening psychopath, and has an accident that may have impacted his mental health. Things go from bad to worse.

The ending was satisfying to me, as it explained a lot about what seemed to be happening to him. I did wish there was a bit more story at the end, it seemed to wrap up rather quickly, but that might just be because I didn't want the characters to go away.

I look forward to more from this author. ( )

Wow, that is just about all I can say about this book, is wow! Totally engaging and unexpected and I kept waiting for it to end completely badly, but that was a surprise as well. I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. ( )

I received this galley from netgalley

If you have come this far you have already seen a synopsis, so I won't bore you with mine.
I have been a fan of the author's for a few years now; ever since I read While the Savage Sleeps. He writes the kind of fiction I have loved since I was a kid. This novel is proof of why I will always read his work. It is one of the best psychological thrillers I have read in awhile. I have no complaints at all.
I am one of those readers who tends to figure things out quickly. That can ruin a story for me, but this author adds enough twists and turns that I was questioning myself a lot. There were parts I could relate to personally, which made the story seem more alive and engrossing. It's obvious that the author researched this subject well. This novel is a page turner, and you'll want to talk about it while you're reading it. I have already recommended this, and will repeatedly recommend this author. ( )
