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.

This is definitely a crazy, off-the-rails horror book - it's not attempting to be realistic at all. I also don't think the characters are meant to be fleshed out because the book itself is so short, and it's also not super well-written, so if you're looking for good writing, this is not it. 

However, I still really enjoyed it! It was super twisty, and I think all of the twists took me by surprise because they were so crazy. I loved how interconnected the patient files were and how each of the endings surprised the hell out of me! This author is not particularly skilled at characterization or writing, but they sure as hell know how to write twists. 

The ending was also pretty off-the-rails and I liked how everything came together, although I did feel that all the connections were perhaps a bit too convenient. The very end was a bit of a cliffhanger in terms of what happens to Dr Harper, which really makes me want to pick up the sequel, but I'll probably wait a bit before I do because the amount of off-the-rails plot packed into this book was enough for me for a while.

1 hour 9 minutes - This book was very strange and not at all what I was expecting. I didn't dislike it - I would go as far as to say that I was intrigued by the stories and the way the often intertwove, but I was also incredibly confused and this did impact my enjoyment of the book. I'm not sure how I feel about it from an objective standpoint - it does make a trivialisation and a borderline mockery of mental illness at times. However, I really did like the characters of Elliott and Noah.
