Publisher's summary

A dark and gripping debut psychological thriller with a horrifying premise and a stinging twist.

Alex Taylor wakes up tied to an operating table. The man who stands over her isn't a doctor. The choice he forces her to make is utterly unspeakable. But when Alex re-awakens, she's unharmed - and no one believes her horrifying story.

Ostracised by her colleagues, her family and her partner, she begins to wonder if she really is losing her mind. And then she meets the next victim.

So compulsive you can't stop listening. So chilling you won't stop talking about it.

Darn it! I was hoping...

I really wish the big reveal was something different - more interesting! BUT, even with that, I loved the characters in this story - they each were very well developed and believable. I had a theory of what was really going on, and I was wrong. I liked my version better though haha! But seriously, it does all come together in the end. The narration was great and she distinguished between each character well. Overall a decent psychological thriller. I would definitely read more from the author :-)

Fizzled out

It started off very promising, but just faded into silliness. I was waiting for some kind of mind blowing twist ending that never came. I do love the narrator though, and I was never bored.

Didn't need 10 chapters to wrap up

A good story, didn't guess the twist, but 10 chapters to wrap up the loose ends was excessive.

Zara Ramm is awesome!!!

I've listened to quite a few Zara Ramm books and went looking for a title narrated by her when I found this one. She's just amazing!

This is a great little thriller. We know that Alex did not imagine the things that happened to her but the story is so expertly written that as it goes along, you start to wonder. The cast of characters were very skillfully developed and kept you guessing in this constantly escalating plot of what really happened.

Add note: This listen was great but if a book ever needed an epilogue, this one did. The world needed to know that Alex was okay.

Excellent thriller!I started this book and could hardly put it down.

I started this book and could hardly put it down. Medical descriptions and procedures correct. Relationships interesting and hard to figure out who did what and why. Excellent ending!
On to her next book!
Enjoy..

Exciting Medical Thriller

I couldn't stop listening to this exciting medical thriller. Lots of action, twists and turns and surprises in the plot. It was refreshing to have a likeable main character and a very nasty villain. Great narrator.

Fast Pace Mystery Thriller

Fast pace mystery/thriller worth the credit and very good start for Author Liz Lawler. Small critic, I was looking for a little more in the character development, although the storyline interesting and creepy, I didn’t find that I “felt” much for any of the characters. I’m betting with a bit more experience the authors next book will be even better. Narration was very well done by Zara Ramm. I’ll be on the look-out for more from both! Well done!

EXCELLENT ALL AROUND

I listen to 1-3 audiobooks a week and eagerly await my pre-orders - so go I through mystery/thrillers much too quickly. That is why I was particularly pleased to find this book to be one of the better mystery/thrillers I’ve read in quite a while. The events unfold satisfyingly - nothing too subtle or too obvious, and the character development is complete and engaging. Additionally, the writing and storyline are both polished - even with the slew of new mystery/thrillers available, most are lacking and clumsy in execution. I do wish the ending was longer so we could really learn in detail how everyone got what they deserved - but it was nonetheless still satisfying. I very much look forward to more of Liz Lawler’s books. Highly recommended - the summary doesn’t do it justice, it’s absolutely worth the credit.

Disappointed

I thought I was going to love this book. The beginning was very intriguing and I was anxious to hear more. Unfortunately, the story was very predictable, unbelievable, and the interactions between the characters were unbelievable. there were several times when a character figured something out from the slightest indication, which was very unlikely did anyone would jump to specific conclusions or revelations it just didn’t make sense.
