The Maidens is somewhat of a prequel to The Silent Patient. We find out who encouraged Theo to apply at The Grove and how Zoey because one of his patients.

Mariana always believed in love. From an early age she was an avid reader, always reading classic love stories. One day Sebastian introduces himself and she falls deeply in love. Believing Sebastian is the love she has been waiting for her whole life.

The couple has the perfect life. But they want a baby, well Sebastian does. So they go on a vacation to relax and to try and make a baby. While there, Sebastian goes on a run and doesn’t return. His body is found days later and Mariana is crushed.

Years for by and her niece, Zoe,calls her one day fearing her friend is dead. Marianna leaves straight away to help solve the case. While at Zoe‘s university she needs Edward Fosca one of Zoe’s professors. Edward is a hot professor on campus and even has a following of girls in which he calls The Maidens. The Maidens are dying one by one: is Edward Fosca the killer?

Honestly I feel like I was duped again. The Silent Patient was not one of my favorite books but it did get better towards the end which is why I gave it four stars. The Maidens is only a three star book. The plot was mediocre, the characters were not relatable, and in the end I should’ve read a different book.
