It started out okay but the twist was very weird and really out there. Definitely didn't see that coming but it wasn't in a fun way. It was kinda dumb honestly in my opinion but it just kinda came out of left field. 
The twist was kinda uncomfortable since we are following the story of a new doctor and his patient at an asylum in the early 2000s.

This book is a quick read and will keep you captivated from the first page. If you get scared easily though, it may not be for you.
