Description from GoodReads: “’A true psychological thriller
that will leave you breathless.’ —Wendy Walker, bestselling author of All Is
Not Forgotten and Emma in the Night
Emotionally guarded Daphne Amos always believed she’d found
a kindred spirit in her fiancé, Heath. Both very private people, they’ve kept
their pasts hidden from the world, and each other, until Heath’s escalating
nightmares begin to put an undeniable strain on their relationship. Determined
to give their impending marriage the best chance of succeeding, Heath insists
that Daphne join him on a seven-day retreat with Dr. Matthew Cerny, a
psychologist celebrated for getting to the root of repressed memories. Daphne
reluctantly agrees—even though the past is the last place she wants to go.
The retreat’s isolated and forbidding location increases her
unease, as do the doctor’s rules: they must relinquish their keys and phones,
they’ll be monitored at all hours by hidden cameras, and they’re never to
socialize with the other guests.
One sleepless night, Daphne decides to leave her room…and
only then does she realize that the institute is not at all what it seems—and
that whatever’s crying out from Heath’s past isn’t meant to be heard. It’s
meant to be silenced.”
Every Single Secret by Emily Carpenter is
a psychological thriller with a heavy dose of psychological! That’s right up my alley!
I like when an author creates a psychopath or sociopath that
is not exactly textbook. Even
psychopaths have to have grey areas.
Some small thing that reaches them just a fraction. It’s pretty hard for me to talk about
all the things I loved about this book without giving away too much.
Daphne and Heath both have checkered pasts, but they have
agreed never to talk about them.
But the past hasn’t agreed to that. Heath’s past is surfacing in the form of nightmares. Prompting Daphne’s history to haunt her
as we relive it in alternating chapters.
She grew up as a foster kid in a group home/ranch and she’s got a
festering secret. But what are
Heath’s secrets? And does she want
to know?
I blew through this book in a day. It was creepy good!
You need this book if you are a fan of the psychological side of psychological thrillers.
