Jessica Farris needs money that much is true, but how far will she go to get it? Jess signs up for a psychology study conducted by Dr Shields; she thinks all she needs to do is answer a few questions, receive her money, and leave. But Jess soon realises this is not a normal study, and as things grow more intense and invasive, soon Jess realises that she may not be in control of her own life anymore. Things become more complicated when Jess realises she is not the first subject of this study, and that sometimes, obsessions can be deadly.

I haven't read the authors previous book but heard good things about it so thought i'd give this one a go, and i'm glad I did. This book really gets under your skin, and is actually quite psychologically thrilling; it's the first one i've read in a while that has actually gripped me in such a way. I'm not going to say too much so that I don't ruin any of the plot; it is most definitely best to go into this blind. There's plenty of twists and turns in this books, and you are continuously guessing where the plot is going, only to be turned in another direction. At times I did find Jess to be too clueless in places, and it did frustrate me, but I managed to get past this as a whole. The pacing was well done, and kept moving throughout the book. I would be interested in reading The Wife Between Us.
