This book was just wild and unimaginable, yet predictable? Really didn't enjoy it.

I loved this book. The concept was great and the way it was broken into 6 stories really helped with the pace and I’ve flown through it!

The ending was not what I wanted and it was definitely a twist I didn’t see coming. I will be starting the next Dr Harper book immediately!

Honestly, this is way more than a 5 star for me. I don’t remember exactly where I heard about this title but it’s been on my Amazon wishlist for months. Finally, I caved and read it on KU. I read this entire book in under 4 hours and not once did I understand where it was going. There are so many twists and turns and it’s so confusing. But the author is amazing at making it an enjoyable journey.

A very interesting set of short stories; that link together. More on the darker side this book has an interesting narrative that is easy to read.

This has been on my TBR for a while but after seeing it wasn't what I expected, I put off reading it. However after reading the Asylum Confessions by Jack Sheen and loving the writing style and quick pacing I decided to give Dr Harper a chance.

Very well deserved- A fabulous book I binge read and enjoyed every moment of! Great short stories which all fabulously tied together in the #220 patient file. What a crazy ending... I've already started book 2 as I'm invested in seeing what happens to Dr H and Noah.

A roller coaster of a journey with many unexpected changes of events. I'm hooked on the series and keen to finish it
