★★★★☆

See It End is a riveting psychological suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Dr. Gretchen White’s determination to prove her friend Lauren’s innocence, even as evidence mounts against her, creates a captivating tension. The dynamic between Gretchen and the no-nonsense Lachlan adds an intriguing layer to the investigation, and the twists kept me guessing. While some revelations felt a bit rushed, Labuskes masterfully unravels secrets that challenge the characters' morals. This thrilling read will leave you pondering long after the last page.

TL;DR: A gripping mystery with compelling characters and twists.

Despite being super busy, I took every extra chance I had to read this book. I really enjoyed the first 2 in this series. I’m not sure why I waited so long to read this book. Maybe because I wasn’t ready for the end. As far as I can tell, this is just going to be a trilogy and that makes me super sad. There doesn’t seem much left for Dr Gretchen White to do, especially since she doesn’t have many contacts left at the police department.
I really loved how this book progressed. It was alternating viewpoints AND timelines. Up until the timelines met. There were so many different theories on what happened, that I didn’t really see it coming until it was revealed. I both listened to and read this book. When that part was revealed, my mouth dropped open and I said ‘oh sh!t’ out loud. I love that this author can keep me on the edge of my seat and guessing right up until the end.
Speaking of end…..I wish it had gone a little differently. But I could also read about these characters for the next decade. Since there won’t be another Dr Gretchen White book, I will be moving on to the new series by Brianna Labuskes. She has become one of my fave authors.

I was excited to read See It End, but unfortunately, the plot did not fully live up to the intriguing premise. Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for providing me with an ARC of this novel for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this book! I could not put it down, I had to see what happened. I would definitely recommend this book.

Thank you to Netgally, the publishers, and Brianna Labuskes

When I requested this book I was unaware that it was apart of a series, one that requires you to read the previous books for this one to make sense. I am unable to read all the previous books along with this one before the publish date. Therefore, I will rate this a fair 3/5 stars and will adjust the rating and review when I am able to read all the books in the series along with this one.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for this ARC in return for an honest review.

See it End by Brianna Labuskes is another instalment in the Dr Gretchen White and Detective Lauren Marconi saga and I loved it as much as the other books! In this book, Marconi is arrested for murder but Gretchen is convinced she is innocent. When she sets out to prove this, she finds more questions than answers.

I love these two characters and seeing the development of Gretchen in this book was really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this to fans of this author and also fans of crime thrillers!

Well I will be short on this review. The book was OK. For me there were too many characters and time jumps that I was confused majority of the time.
The story itself was decent but I saw the ending from a mile. Also most of the time I was like “OK I get it, Gretchen is a psychopath, now get to the point”.
It took me almost 4 months to finish it, and for such a short book it’s not a good sign.
I can’t say I recommend it, but seeing the rating and other reviews it’s definitely a “me” problem, not the book.

This was a satisfying ending to the Dr Gretchen White trilogy. Well written and it kept me engaged from start to finish

Oh my gosh! The beginning of the book wrapped me into the story and I couldn't stop reading it!

Absolutely loved it, another great book featuring Gretchen White and Lauren Marconi. Fantastic story that is gripping and suspenseful. Love the development of the relationship between Gretchen and Lauren along with Lauren's boyfriend Lachlan.

See It End is the third installment in the Dr. Gretchen White series, a thrilling and suspenseful psychological crime novel by Brianna Labuskes. The protagonist, Gretchen, is a criminologist, psychologist and sociopath who helps the Boston Police Department solve complex cases. In this book, she faces a personal dilemma when her friend and colleague, Detective Lauren Marconi, is arrested for a cold-blooded murder that she confesses to. Gretchen is convinced that Lauren is innocent, but she has to work with Lauren’s boyfriend, Lachlan Gibbs, an Internal Affairs officer who doesn’t trust her. As they dig deeper into the case, they uncover Lauren’s dark secrets and a decade-long obsession with the victim. Gretchen begins to question her own instincts and judgment, while trying to save Lauren from a grim fate.

I enjoyed this book very much, as it kept me hooked from the first page to the last. The plot was well-crafted and full of twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end. The characters were complex and realistic, each with their own flaws and motivations. I especially liked Gretchen, who was a fascinating and unconventional heroine. She was smart, witty and ruthless, but also vulnerable and loyal to her friends. Her sociopathic traits added an extra layer of intrigue and unpredictability to the story. The writing style was crisp and engaging, with vivid descriptions and sharp dialogue. The author did a great job of creating a tense and atmospheric setting that suited the dark tone of the story.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good psychological thriller with a strong female lead and a gripping mystery. It can be read as a standalone, but I would suggest reading the previous books in the series first to get a better understanding of Gretchen’s background and personality. See It End is a brilliant and satisfying conclusion to the Dr. Gretchen White series, and I hope to read more from this talented author in the future.

I wanted to like the premise of this book a lot, and I did not realize it was a part of series. That being said, I would suggest reading the first two books before this one. This novel is told in multiple points of view and jumps timelines, making it hard to follow at times, making it drag on. The ending felt like it could be the ending of the series, or leave room for another novel, but no glaring cliff hangers. The premise was a refreshing take in the thriller genre, one that is appreciated.

I want to thank Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for an ARC of this book.

I loved this book, which is part three in a series. It was full of mysteries to try to solve, and characters to figure out! I am interested to see if the author continues this series, or if she will create more series. Her writing style and attention to detail (especially when building the atmosphere) kept me intrigued!

A riveting novel that grips readers from the opening pages and doesn't let go until the final revelation. With its well-drawn characters, intricate plot, and psychological depth it is a compelling tale of suspense. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers that challenge perceptions and keep you guessing until the end, this novel is a must-read.

Thank you to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer and author Brianna Labuskes for the advance read copy of this book.

This book was very good!! The author knows how to keep you guessing. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen next, something else would happen. Definitely recommend reading this

Loved loved loved! See it End is exciting and gripping; Brianna Labuskes keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing what’s coming next.

I love the Marconi and Gretchen duo.
The compliment each other perfectly in this series.
Marconi being a bit more by the book in her policing career and Gretchen not giving a rats behind about procedure as long as she gets to the bottom of what’s going on.

Love, love this series.

I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.
