This was my first time reading this author, and enjoyed him. The book was advertised as a thriller, but basically it’s a psychological thriller. The story follows the life of Dr. Grace Blades, a psychologist, who has a special gift for treating troubled souls, people who have experienced certain traumatic events. Her own past is very dark, which makes her a fascinating character. The novel switches from the past to present day, explaining Grace’s troubled past, which ends up coming back to haunt her grownup life. Her upbringing was very twisted, which was disturbing. However, I enjoyed it seeing how she overcame it to become the successful woman she was.
