Thank you Net Galley and Sourcebooks for the e-book. Meg is shocked to learn of her sisters death at a rehab facility. They say it is a heroine overdose but Meg doesn't believe Haley would do that. Meg decides to check herself into the rehab facility and look into her sisters death. The treatment she received inside the facility made me cringe as the head doctor and therapist just gave me creepy vibes.

I liked Meg's character and how you knew something happened to her as a child but were not sure exactly what. They built it up to be something huge so when it was revealed it was kind of a let down as I thought it was going to be worse.

This was a slow burn with a shocking twist at the end. Overall okay

This was an interesting concept and I enjoyed it, but I couldn't help but think I had read similar before. The twists were what kept me going though and it had a very strong ending!

Meg receives a strange call from her sister, who subsequently is found dead at rehab. Suffering from addiction herself, Meg enters the clinic as a patient, but has no intention of getting clean. Instead, she spends her time getting to know the staff and other patients and asking questions about what happened to her sister.

The POVs alternate between Meg and one of the clinic's staff members, giving us full insight into what happens in this super posh rehab facility. A thoroughly engaging read with twits and turns along the way.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the ARC!

“Meg works for a casino in LA, catching cheaters and popping a few too many pain pills to cope, following a far different path than her sister Haley, a famous actress. But suddenly reports surface of Haley dying at the remote rehab facility where she had been forced to go to get her addictions under control.”

Twisty thriller + unreliable narrator = perfection. Loved this one. So atmospheric.

This book was all right, if you're into a book that has a decent slow burn, plus some murder mystery / thriller then this book might be for you. I unfortunately couldn't really get into it and didn't really care for the story. It wasn't that it was bad, I honestly don't know why I couldn't get into it, I really tried. But the writing was good and the character build up was decent. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC exchange for a honest review

Sisters share a unique bond, and when one dies in rehab, the other instantly knows it isn’t accidental. Fan of light suspense might enjoy this.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks for the eArc in return for an honest review.
Meg works undercover security at casinos. She finds out that her superstar sister Haley died in a rehabilitation center for the wealthy. The cause of her sister's death doesn't sit right with her. Meg, who has addictions as well, decides to enter rehab to find out the true cause of Haley's death.

Meg tries to stay focused on why she's really there, but she can't run from her troubled childhood while in rehab. She's fighting her own demons, but will she get to the truth?

Cara, the newly hired member of the clinic, starts to realize Dr. Luz walks a very thin line between what is ethical and not.
Told in dual timelines between Meg and Cara, we get a first-hand look at what addiction looks like by way of Meg and what goes on behind the scenes by way of Cara.

This is a solid read. I'm eager to read the next book from the author.

Not my favorite book from this author. It was quite repetitive and a slow burn along with not the best story I have read. It took me a while to finish because I wasn’t too into it.

This was a fun read, following Meg, who pops a few too many pain pills heading undercover into a rehab facility to figure out how her famous actress sister Haley really died (she refuses to believe it was suicide). Great character development, with a non-linear narrative that keeps you guessing, I enjoyed the ride while peeking inside The Clinic.

When Meg learns that her older sister Hayley died in rehab, she leaves her undercover job in a casino to infiltrate the rehab facility to uncover what really happened.

Meanwhile, Cara is hired as a manager in the same rehab facility and the more she learns about the place, the more secrets she uncovers.

Told from both perspectives, the story unfolds, though I enjoyed Meg’s chapters so much more because of what is at stake for her.

Meg is an addict herself and she puts herself in a place that could try to help her, though that is NOT her objective. She just wants to know what happened to her famous starlet sister. She gets more than she bargains for though, when she grows close to the other patients, inadvertently learning more about the facility and herself in the process.

I thought this was so well written. I enjoyed the care and time the author put into writing about addiction and trauma response. It hit close to home for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebook Landmark for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.


I thought this book started off a little slow in comparison to similar titles. However, you will become totally entwined in this story which will take you on a wild ride. I love the elements of mental health and addiction inside this psychological thriller. A lot of psychological thrillers recently have felt very cookie cutter/copy and paste with the same setting, same generic plot, boring characters, and predictable twists. I’m comparison, The Clinic felt so much more developed. I didn’t like or connect with any of the characters but they still weren’t boring.

Overall I enjoyed this book and will recommend to my fellow psychological thriller lovers.

4 stars

This is one of those wonderful times when you CAN judge a book by its creepy cover!

Meg and Cara share perspectives in this sinister and twisty rehab-centered thriller, which starts off with a real bang: a prologue featuring a character's death (from the victim's perspective). Readers learn quickly that the person who was perhaps murdered in the prologue is Meg's semi-estranged sister, Haley. For obvious reasons, Meg has a lot of questions and disbelief surrounding Haley's alleged suicide (which is how it's being billed publicly), so she decides to take matters into her own hands and covertly head to this rehab herself. Since Meg seems about two wild nights away from donning a Winehouse beehive, she makes for a messy, unreliable but strangely likeable character. Reading from her perspective is a lot of fun, even when the material is tough. Cara is in a completely different role: an administrative one at the clinic. She has her own dramatic past, but it feels like more of a kitschy mention than an essential plot point by the end. Though she's not the most exciting character, her sense of right and wrong really offsets the other characters who live in grey areas, and she also brings a sense of reality into a space where only bizarre situations occur. These two are an ideal pair in terms of perspective and narration.

I strongly recommend reading nothing at all about this book because - like most thrillers/mysteries - the fun is in finding out what the heck is going on with these folks. Though I did feel like the ending was a bit too drawn out, the ride overall is an exciting one. I wasn't let down at all by making this a creepy October read.

Readers who are sensitive to addiction-related content should be mindful of the fact that this is set in a rehab and bad people abound. Expect different kinds of sabotage, gaslighting, relapsing, withdrawals, and much more. Oh, and I've yet to meet the trauma-free addict, so be mindful of these mentions, too.

If this all sounds doable for you, snap up this one. It's a twisty ride with layered, un/reliable characters getting up to some truly wild antics.

first off, the cover!! just wow, that first drew my attention and then of course the title.... I can't ever pass up a title that has anything to do with some sort of treatment with patients/clients hehe. Gives me creepy and spooky vibes. Also the kindle version says 320 pages, but this felt SOO much longer than that. It's set up to have 2 POVs between the Clinic's manager (Cara) and Megan. Very short chapters with (over 100 chapters in this ARC) which I don't mind because at points I was flying through the chapters.

Biggest Trigger Warnings: drug use & suicide

I really enjoyed this book from start to finish! It hooks and grabs you from the first page and made you want to read until you find out what's going on!! Psychological thriller, SIGN ME UP!! You meet Cara and Megan, each with backgrounds that you'll find out throughout reading the book. Megan ends up at the clinic after hearing her sister committed suicide, only she doesn't believe that. There was of course the big question of did her sister really do it or was it murder? Megan is there to find this out, but she's dealing with her own issues throughout it all and is having a hard time deciphering what is real and what are delusions. I was hoping for a bigger "punch" with the psychological aspect, but overall content with how it ended. I wasn't expecting it and thought I had it figured out until the last 10%... The dual POV really made this book and the characters weren't perfect, but that adds to the layers.

I HIGHLY recommend this book if you're looking for a good psychological thriller.

This book had everything going for it. Drugs? Yep. Trauma? Sure! Natasha Lyonne in Poker Face vibes? You know it! Big gothic buildings? Of course! Romance? A bit. Likeable, understandable characters? Not so much.

This is a one stop shop for whatever you like to read. Except, it’s not. It’s a super fast, easy read, but there’s no ending there. Someone else said it better than I could “I liked it until I didn’t.”.

I loved Black Widows and I had crazy high hopes for this one. If you’re expecting that level of good, this isn’t your book. But, if you like a good forgettable read, grab it.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are mine, except from the quote up there from another reviewer.

I really enjoyed this one! It had me on the edge of my seat pretty much the entire time. There were a few parts that felt extra wordy and long but for the most part it was a gripping book. Very short chapters make it hard to put down and I didn’t see a lot of the twists, which is always a bonus! Along with a couple slower parts, I also thought some of the decisions/behaviors of some characters didn’t seem to fit or flow, where you kind of just scratch your head and have to force yourself to go along with it. But overall a pretty good psych thriller to pick up!

The atmosphere in this one was very good. A secluded clinic for mental health and substance abuse where someone has been murdered. A sister who goes undercover as a patient to try and figure out what happened to her sister. The beginning was a little slow but it picked up and had several unforeseen twists at the end. I enjoyed this overall, thought some of the twists at the end I didn’t love. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book started slow and it took me a while to get into it. I kept starting and stopping. When it picked up though it got good! Dual POV’s mystery within a mystery who-dunnit

More suspense than thriller with the backdrop of a rehab facility where its guests confront their deepest traumas and make you wonder if you can truly trust anything.

Meg works for a casino in LA, catching cheaters and popping a few too many pain pills to cope, following a far different path than her sister Haley, a famous actress. But suddenly reports surface of Haley dying at the remote rehab facility where she had been forced to go to get her addictions under control. There are whispers of suicide, but Meg can't believe it. She decides that the best way to find out what happened to her sister is to check in herself - to investigate what really happened from the inside.

Thank you to Sourcebooks and Netgalley for letting me read this early!

Enjoyed the plot of this book. Just when you think you have figured out the culprit a twist is thrown in to throw you off.

I really enjoyed this book. It definitely wasn’t super realistic (most thrillers aren’t), but boy it kept me on my toes. I felt invested in the story and really enjoyed the dual POV as the story unfolded. This is the first book I have read by this author and based on how much I liked this one I would definitely read more.

A perfect atmospheric read for spooky fall!

When singer (and Meg’s sister) Hailey turns up dead at a bespoke, remote, rehab facility, Meg doesn’t believe she’s actually gone. So Meg—also an addict—checks herself into the same facility. The research and treatments are groundbreaking—but did Hailey kill herself? Or is one of the other handful of guests a killer?

Told from dual perspectives of Meg and the facilities manager, Cara, this is a game of cat and mouse and I’m pretty sure nobody knows who’s the cat and who’s the mouse.

The setting is SO atmospheric. The characters come to life on the pages. And while I wasn’t entirely shocked by the twists, they were good ones.
