Ward D

I do enjoy Freida McFadden's books. It's clear that she's found her niche and knows exactly how to write it. Ward D is a real page turner. There's just enough going on to keep you hooked but not too much that it's a strain to keep up. It's a light read, to be sure, but satisfying. The ending left a smile on my face.

A good thriller, but somewhat lacking on the aspect of how it walks about mental health. I feel like that's a theme in McFadden's books, unfortunately.

My heart was RACING throughout this book. I was genuinely scared like I was watching a scary movie. It was so good and constantly kept me guessing. 

Primeiro livro que leio da autora. Honestamente, não achei nada de especial.

what an insane ride honestly - 4.5!

I'll start this out by this book definitely was problematic in its portrayal of mental health. I probably should have started with a different one of hers, but Shutter Island is an all time favorite so it definitely seemed my vibe. However that's on me for jumping into a book in a psychiatric ward without thinking it wouldn't use the mental health as a fear tactic. So I'm just going to rate on enjoyability aside from that. 

It was a very fun journey and kept you guessing. The twist was a little obvious but still had some shocks. It was a fast read & a good thriller. 

Really immature characters.

At various points, I question if Amy really is a medical student. Because she's a tad bit too obtuse. And seemingly self-absorbed.

The plot is interesting enough, but sort of bland. The characters are... a bit bland, to be honest. It's twisty in a true McFadden's style, but nothing to shout about really.

So... I think I like Freida McFadden

The little girl scared the hell out of me

Not like the previous books I have read by the author. However, it gave me Outlast vibes. So I liked it.

I had such high expectations for this book! Between loving this genre of book, being obsessed with Freida's work, and working in the medical field, I. Was. Ready. I gave this a 4 star because I feel like I was able to see the twists coming, but that could just be with reading a lot of psychological thrillers. I really, really enjoyed the last couple of chapters and the epilogue. I still say that Never Lie is my favorite book of hers to date, but I enjoyed this one as well. There was not a single page where I was bored.
