Publisher's Summary

Medical student Amy Brenner is spending the night on a locked psychiatric ward.

Amy has been dreading her evening working on Ward D, the hospital’s inpatient mental health unit. There are very specific reasons why she never wanted to do this required overnight rotation. Reasons nobody can ever find out.

And as the hours tick by, Amy grows increasingly convinced something terrible is happening within these tightly secured walls. When patients and staff start to vanish without a trace, it becomes clear that everyone on the unit is in grave danger.

Amy’s worst nightmare was spending the night on Ward D.

And now she might never escape.

Read something else…

My least favourite from Frieda… I had 3 hours left and I felt like the storyline hadn’t gone anywhere. Took forever for me to finish, but whatever, still happy I finished it at least.

Beyond hair rising

Not for the faint of heart. This book is scary and unsettling to say the least.

Stereotype issues

While I enjoyed the story and suspense, as a nurse I wasn’t happy with how health care, the mental health ward and particularly the doctors and patients were portrayed, as they were not truthful.
The consistent stereotype of mental health patients being called “crazy” was upsetting. Medical students would never be on a locked ward with no back up or way out. Where was hospital security? They also wouldn’t be expected to “interview patients” on a night shift for further learning opportunities. And someone pretending to be mentally ill and getting hospitalized is upsetting to those who actually are mentally ill, assuming people could just pretend by acting “crazy”.
Hoping this review will assist someone else from deciding to read or not to read this book.
I am a fan, but not particularly of this book.

Great book !

At first I felt it was just a tad slow , but once the questions started , then I got hooked !!! This was a great book ! Great story ! Great narrator, but at times I felt annoyed 😅🙈🤷🏽‍♀️ . There was alot of different ways the book could have went , so it left me wondering and guessing the whole time ( WARNING ITTY BITTY SPOILER AHEAD ) . And then you get a little tiny twist ALL the way at the end , when your sure the story’s over , which I think was perfect !

Loved it

Once I started this audible novel I couldn’t stop. I listened to it at any moment I could. Frieda McFadden is one of my favourite authors and always throws amazing hard to guess twists into her novels. This one did not disappoint. Highly recommend.

I am a huge fan of this author, and this book was great.
where I did predict some things correctly, other things completely blindsided me.

Okay…

I enjoy Freida McFadden books. This one is probably one of my least favourites. A bit more predictable and no huge twist to make it feel worthwhile. Not bad but not one of her best.

Another great listen!

I really enjoyed this story. But the narration of main character Amy was quite annoying. Very winey and grated on my nerves. But the overall story was great. Love this author. Keeps us guessing. Highly recommend.
