This was a fun fast paced twisty thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. I thought the over the top story was fun and really enjoyed the premise. The writing was easy to understand and entertaining. This is my first book by this author but will not be my last. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book! The writing is superb and the story kept me engaged. The characters were very well written. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time!

Dr. Meredith McCall has an obsession. As obsessions usually go, this one is unhealthy. And unusual. With her career is on the line as a result of tragic events, Meredith has been spiraling downward. Gabriel Wright is the object of Meredith’s obsession, and the choices and actions she takes become worse and worse.

With her license having been revoked for a year, one might expect that someone of her profession would be quite careful in the decisions they make. However, even though she is receiving psychiatric treatment herself, she cannot let go of the obsession she has with Gabriel Wright.

The pacing in this book was off the charts! With then and now chapters, including an utterly tragic and heartbreaking event, I was thoroughly glued to the pages of this book. Should I mention the twists? Yes, the twists! They just kept on coming. And…the ending. I had to go back and reread it. Twice.

Many thanks to Atria Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

I did not like this one. It was boring and the writing was very juvenile. I felt like it copied and pasted every other book like this and had no original idea.

Thank you to NetGalley & Atria books for this advance copy of The Unraveling by Vi Keeland in exchange for this honest review. The Unraveling is available now for purchase!

This one was very quick and fast paced! One of my favorite twists is *I'll mark this as a spoiler just in case* the possibility that your narrator isn't who she says she is or is unreliable in some way. I loved following Meredith's spiral especially with the whole doctor/patient relationship. This one clocks in at the perfect length, any longer and it would've felt a bit repetitive. I would definitely read more from this author in the future, I enjoyed her writing style!

Thank you again to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for this honest review. The Unraveling is available now!

This was a compelling read and had me on the edge of my seat! It was twisty and kept me guessing and was a thrilling treat! I am a long time Vi Keeland fan and enjoyed this move into the thriller world - well done indeed!

Psychiatrist Meredith McCall has experienced tragedy. One day, she sees a man she doesn’t know, but they are connected. Meredith spirals out of control and becomes obsessed with this man.

I was very surprised that this is Vi Keeland’s debut thriller! It was twisty and turny and kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn’t love the ending, but that’s just me. Overall, I enjoyed it and have recommended it to friends!

As someone who has a masters in mental health counseling, I am always weary of books about counselors because the ethics of counseling was jammed into my brain for 2.5 years. This book was no different, however the MC knew what she was doing WAS wrong. It wasn’t like she played it off like it was ok, she was very aware it was a bad idea and did it anyway. I enjoyed this book a lot!

Fun and enjoyable thriller. Kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat, I wasn't sure where the story was going to take me. I'll definitely check out more from this author in the future.

This was an on the edge of your seat thriller that keeps your attention wrapt from beginning to end. I was completely invested and could not put it down. I loved the shocking twists and turns and unpredictability of the plot. I was totally addicted! This is a must-read!!!

I adore Vi Keeland this was a departure from hey usual romance books. It was exciting, riveting book. It was out of my comfort zone but definitely worth reading. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

WHAT. DID. I. JUST. READ!!
I started the book on a mood. Grief and melancholy. Which was purely for Dr Meredith McCall. She's a fairly recent widow. Trying to navigate her life in NYC without her Hockey star husband. there was a horrendous accident that took him away, but the debris that littered in aftermath, has clogged Meredith's soul. Another pair of innocent victims that took out her husband, are Ellen Wright and 6 year old Rose wright.

"My tragedy. Like my life is a Shakespeare tale instead of the train wreck it is. "

Meredith is now consumed with associative guilt, since her husband Connor Fitzgerald was driving the car that ploughed them both.
Her guilt leads to obsessive disorder of stalking Gabriel Wright to figure out........what, she doesn't know !!
Tables get turned when somebody starts stalking HER!!

"But can i call it stalking? I mean.....who stalked first"

I kinda figured out what was going on when Meredith takes two new patients, one being Gabriel himself. The game of cat and mouse starts with verbal sparring, skirting the identity reveals and break-ins in each others personal spaces.
The story had me on edge THROUGHOUT. Even though i knew what was going on, or had some semblence of behind the scenes covert activities. The thrill of danger, the hair standing on end, the chills down my spine....EVERYTHING was indicative of clear and present danger. And then she gets caught in Gabriel's seductive web.
Oh my my!
While i was connecting threads and finishing up the big picture to end the sensational thriller, Vi reaches the LAST PAGE and the LAST LINE vi takes a large red marker and slashes across ALL my clues,threads, pictures, bulletin board with a big NOPE
She flips the story on its head!
ON. ITS. HEAD. PEOPLE!!
What a story, what a buildup, what hints scattered like bread crumbs, what a path to nab the real stalker and then WHAM!
I dont know whether to laugh or be angry anymore.
But PHENOMENAL job Vi, this story will stay RENT FREE in my head FOREVER!
5 stars for “The Tell-Tale Heart,”

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This is my first by the author and I’d love to check out other genres by them. This was bingeable, kept me guessing and definitely left me disturbed. I recommend this if you want a quick bingeable thriller with action and twists to keep you thinking.

Loved this fast paced and very exciting thriller. I could not put it down, i had to know the ending of this story

This stimulating and fast paced suspense novel draws you in and spits you out.. and you are left with questions and meanderings and yet you still loved it!!! Highly recommend this book!!

Wow. Great story, fast paced plot and good writing. I really love this author and these titles from her are just unique!

The BEST thriller I read this year. I normally only read Vi Keeland's romances, but WOW. A real page tuner.

The Unraveling by Vi Keeland is an absolutely captivating story that had me hooked from start to finish. Even in the messier moments, I couldn’t put it down—I was determined to see how everything would unfold. The twists and turns felt like a rollercoaster, keeping me guessing and STRESSING way lol. Vi Keeland definitely knows how to keep readers on their toes!

This is a must-read. 5 stars ⭐️

I read a lot of thrillers. Like a loooooot. And you know what I just absolutely LOVE? When the last chapter or last page or, heck, last sentence, makes your jaw fall open. And, friends, that is what happened when I read The Unraveling. This is one of those thrillers where you need to just sit back, don’t worry about how “realistic” it is, and just let it all unfold for the fun of it.

I went back and forth between audio and physical for this one, and both were SUPER enjoyable, very quick, and the last 20% or so I found completely unputdownable.

I’m going to leave this “review” vague intentionally, because I think this is one where it’s best you go in as blind as possible!

This was pretty bingeable. Definitely had me hooked. There was a few f bombs and one really short graphic sex scene. I’d recommend it as a good read.
