Although this isn’t my type of book, I can see how it would appeal to readers who enjoy the suspense of a thriller. It’s also great that it’s well edited. Thank you for a nicely-detailed review.

I got interested in medical thrillers after the genre was featured in one of the prompts of the 2020 PopSugar Reading challenge. I used to read medical articles and inspiring stories before.
After reading the sample, I think I'll give this a pass due to its sexual content in the first chapter. Personally, I do not completely trust most doctors after my few negative experiences with them when I was younger.
Despite that, thank you for providing your review of the book. I haven't met anyone as cruel as Dr. Webb, though. Maybe Dr. Roth is also someone not to be trusted?

I haven’t read much medical books but this one seems interesting. I hope those deaths find justice.

This book has an interesting and a bit disturbing concept. I want to figure out not just if Dr. Webb is purposefully killing his patients but why he is in the first place. That is usually when these kinds of books get very interesting and very twisted. Thank you for the helpful review.

The book is so emotional that makes it so interesting, it includes suspense since we are not told whether Dr Roxanne killed her patient or not.

This book definitely makes me skeptical about medical procedures and the doctors that perform them. I wonder what happened next. I guess I will have to read it I also love how the book was sparking emotions. I like a book that speaks to me like that. Great review.

The opening of the book with the character Dr. Webb is intriguing. The review further adds to the mystery surrounding Dr. Webb, encouraging the reader to grab the book this instant.

Most patients really need to think twice about their medical procedure; I'm glad this book offered that. Thank you!

Sounds like an emotional novel for me. Being in the medical field and watching loved ones die is hard. Great job!

Wow, this seems like a fast-paced thriller, which I do like sometimes. A medical setting with some romance thrown in is great, but what caught my attention is the author's descriptive ability. Thanks for the review.
