That's the way to go.
Couldn't agree more. This book will give you unexpected twist about how this antagonistic character can be a good player in the writer game of mind 😈

As a fan of thrillers, I find this book very intriguing. The facts about the book mentioned in the review give a good glimpse to what is inside. It also engages the reader till the very end considering the unpredictable events we don't see coming. And we can also immerse into Em's mindset experiencing everything she feels. What's a better feeling? Good job on this review.

The title of the book itself sounds rather thrilling, " The Awakening. "I do love a captivating title 😀
I don't believe I understood what a psychological thriller was until I read your review, so thank you.
This sounds like impeccable storytelling, and I enjoy that the author can depict the challenges, emotions, and perspective of someone battling with mental health issues and their inner demons through the character, Em.
There is much to learn other than enjoy the beautiful art and suspense of such skillful storytelling here!
