I have had definite mixed feelings on BA Paris’s past books. The Dilemma was terrible, but the others all at least had their upsides. This one was no exception to that. The ending was somewhat predictable, though there were enough alternate theories happening throughout that it did sort of keep me guessing. The MC is distrustful of just about everyone, so they all seem suspicious. The flashbacks to “past” didn’t really seem to add anything to the story and the title “the therapist” seems an odd choice, given how the book played out. This book was enjoyable, but not fantastic.

Pretty good and suspenseful. I had no idea how it would turn out until close to the end. I think patrons at my library would like this book so I will be recommending it for purchase.

At first, I started to read this and almost DNF. I am very glad that I kept reading this book! The ending was worth it. I think it started out very slow, but the end made the book worth it. The characters were all complex and detailed. And the plot was interesting and unique.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another good one by Paris. I really got into the story. There were a couple of weird things (Alice’s obsession with people named Nina, for one). But they weren’t enough to distract from the storyline. Three big twists at the end were enough to turn this 3.5 into a 4!

I might be done with this author. I was gobsmacked by her first novel and none of the others have measured up. This had terrific build up. Seriously. But the end did not go over well with me. I was supremely disappointed.

B.A. Paris has become one of my favorite suspense authors! I couldn’t put this down. I will say that Alice was truthfully a frustrating protagonist. I definitely felt moments of frustration with her character, as many of her decisions and thoughts were pretty unbelievable. The twists and turns were perfectly timed, and although I did figure out the twist before I got there — I did NOT figure out a large piece of it. A great ending to a creepy domestic thriller! 4 solid stars.

The Therapist is the latest psychological suspense thriller from B.A. Paris, with a murder mystery that occurs in a small private housing community. A real page-turner of a psychological/domestic thriller. This was a quick read for me and I really enjoyed it! I never even considered it ending the way it did!

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book written by B.A. Paris and this one was no different, she is so good at suspense and keeping you guessing until the end. I didn't actually "like" Alice or any of the characters in this book particularly, I didn't know who to trust and who not to, I wasn't sure if maybe Alice was just crazy, but that all added to the suspense of the story I think.

Amazing! This was my first book by B.A Paris but will certainly not be the last. I suspected every character in this book at one point or another. I was wrong every single time. This one kept me guessing until the end, which I love!

I’m so disappointed. I love B.A. Paris, but this one really didn’t do it for me. The writing was fine but the plot wasn’t very exciting or as suspenseful as I would have hoped. I was so caught up with thinking about how a certain character was such a jerk that I never really got into the thriller aspect.

Over the top --- this is a easy read murder mystery that a lot of readers will definitely enjoy. I didn't love the main character which made it difficult to stick with the story. invested in the story. I found the plot overwrought - which brought the rating down for me.

I did a mix of audio and physical for this book and like switching between depending on what I'm doing. It's nice to do chores and listen in! While this isn't my favorite Paris book, I did like it better than The Dilemma. It was compelling enough to keep me interested, and was a quick read.

Now this book kept me on the edge of my seat, it had so many twists and turns my head was spinning!

The book alternates between Alice and an unknown therapist and soon you will be shocked and have to pick your jaw up off the ground! Five stars!

Secrets.....those we keep and those we share. But what if someone knew all of your secrets, and your neighbors. BA Paris has always done an excellent job of building suspense and this narrator takes it to a higher level. We hear the tension, the anger, the confusion, every emotion is displayed as we see the open book of neighborhood gossip and rumors turned truth. WOW!

My mom and I read this together. It was amazing. The setting was very tight knit. It was nerve wracking. We are now huge fans of B.A. Paris.

I absolutely loved this book! I've been a huge fan of B.A. Paris ever since reading Behind Closed Doors, and The Therapist was every bit as captivating and twisted as I was hoping it would be. I was immediately intrigued by the both the central relationship and the neighborhood dynamic. For fans of neighborhood dramas, put this one at the top of your list!

Thank you for the opportunity to read The Therapist. I am so, so sad to say that I am unable to finish reading this book. B.A. Paris quickly became one of my favorite authors with her blockbuster debut novel "Behind Closed Doors". Unfortunately, I just could not get into this story and it just did not hold my attention. Due to my not reading the book to completion, I will not be leaving a review on any retail sites as I would not be able to give a fair assessment. Thank you again for my advanced reading copy.

B.A. Paris is one thriller writer who never disappoints. The Therapist kept me guessing right up until the end. Numerous times throughout the book, I thought that I had figured out who killed Nina, only to discover that I was incorrect again and again. I enjoyed the flashes to the past from the POV of the therapist--this added an interesting look at background as the story progressed. Her strong writing skills weave a story full of thrills and suspense.

Thanks go to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

When Alice and Leo move into a newly renovated house in The Circle, a gated community of exclusive houses, it is everything they’ve dreamed of. But appearances can be deceptive… Why was this new house such a steal? What DOESN't Alice know about her new house? And who is Nina?

Alice becomes obsessed with trying to figure out what happened before she moved in. But it seems that everyone is intent on keeping her from finding out. I thought this story was just....ok. Yeah, I wanted to know what the hell was going on. But it was the kind of book where the characters were infuriating and I just flipped through to the end to figure it out. I'm usually a pretty big BA Paris fan, but this one was just a hard pass for me.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

B.A. Paris is a masterful writer of psychological suspense and I knew I would be in for a treat. Her latest novel, The Therapist does not disappoint.

We meet couple Alice and Leo a couple who purchase a house in The Circle. The residents of this community were very nice but a little too nice. Alice, in my opinion, is extremely high strung, and when she finds out a secret tied to her house and her new neighbors, she goes down this long and complicated rabbit hole. Alice and Leo's relationship suffers because of Alice and her relentless pursuit of the truth.

B.A. Paris has this way of crafting stories in a way that has you questioning everyone and everything. I figured out the secret at the same time as Alice. I was just as shocked as Alice. In the end, I still had some unanswered questions but not enough to be unsettled by the ending. The Therapist is a great page-turner for those who like psychological thrillers.
