In a series of online posts, Parker H., a young cocky psychiatrist, writes about his time working at a mental hospital in New England. While working there he seriously underestimates a dangerous patient and shit gets REAL fast! ( and by real...I mean NOT real but freaking weird).

When I started reading this story I had different expectations to where it would lead me . I thought this was more of a psychological thriller but as I read it warped into a supernatural or horror like read. The entire story is told from one perspective, it is actually written as if it came from an online blog post. I appreciated the concept but because it was so one dimensional it fell flat. I would have enjoyed reading the "response posts" to the blog entries. They are repeatedly hinted at but never in detail.

Overall the novel was unsual and gripping but it felt lacking to me. The turn from thriller to supernatural was unexpected and I didnt care for where it took me. Prior to that happening I was fully engaged and enthralled in this book and really wish it hadnt changed course.

I recieved a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley im exchange for an honest review.
