Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for allowing me to review this book in exchange for my honest review. I really enjoyed this book. It has a little bit of everything - romance, suspense, humor. It kept me guessing and turning the pages. I can’t wait to read more from this author. Thank you again!

The Unraveling by Vi Keeland is a wild ride of emotions, full of romance, tension, and some seriously steamy moments. The story follows two characters who are both carrying their own baggage, and it’s all about them slowly unraveling their pasts while trying to figure out their messy relationship.

The chemistry between the main characters is off the charts — they have that perfect mix of tension and attraction. It’s definitely a slow burn, but in a way that keeps you hooked and dying to see where things go. The characters are flawed, relatable, and go through some pretty intense personal growth, which makes the romance feel earned.

While there are some heavy emotional moments, the book has a good balance of fun and lightheartedness too. There are moments that will make you laugh and others that might make you tear up. The pacing can be a bit slow here and there, but once you get into it, you’re invested in these characters and their journey.

If you’re into love stories with a little bit of drama, a lot of chemistry, and characters who really have to work for their happily ever after, this one’s definitely worth the read.

This was surprisingly good. I really liked this one. It had me feeling on edge the entire time. I would recommend this one.

What a crazy ride!

First of all, the title of this book is so fitting that it just isn't funny!

The characters in this book were completely messed up. I know they'd been through some traumatic losses but still.....messed up. The main character, Meredith logics things in her head that are clearly imbalanced but she has a way of making it "seem" logical if she works at it hard enough. The whole situation is tragic. Then it takes the entire book to find out step by step exactly how the "situation" played out.

It's a good book and a twisty one and I enjoyed it all. Did I find some of it a bit far fetched? Yes, probably, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment of the book.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for the chance to read the e-arc The Unraveling by Vi Keeland.

I went into reading this mostly blind. The only real things I knew were that the main character, Meredith McCall, is a successful psychiatrist in NYC happily married to a pro-hockey player husband, Connor. But her happiness is short lived. Instead, she finds herself alone and trying to pick up the pieces following a tragic accident that affected her and another family. She becomes obsessed with Gabriel Wright, the person who lost his family to such an extent that she sets aside morale and ethical behavior to take him on as a patient. What follows is a twisty game and lots of intrigue. I loved the pacing, and after a slow start, the tension kept me reading. Short chapters definitely helped move the story along.

My only complaint is that the ending might have been wrapped up a little too easily, but I liked getting Gabriel’s point of view. I will be on the lookout for other thrillers written by this author. 4/5 star read

I loved this amazing book! I devoured it! I wanted it to linger on at the same time. Characters are believable and you sometimes love to hate them. There were times my jaw just dropped! Oh my gosh it’s so good.

Great read, came as a surprise. Liked the mystery in it and look forward to reading more from this author in the future! Thanks to publisher for my early copy.

The Unraveling by Vi Keeland is a twisty psychological thriller that will have you questioning who you can believe. Meredith McCall is a psychiatrist who is still dealing with personal tragedy. As she's understanding her grief and wanting more answers, she suddenly spots someone in the street who was also involved in some way and must understand how she's feeling. So Meredith decides to follow him. Soon, this impulse turns into an obsession and Meredith is in deep. But when this man shows up to her office as a patient, it can't just be a simple coincidence, right?

This book is a bit unbelieveable and over the top, but in the best, most addictive way. I raced through this one, hurrying to figure out who was really out to get whom and who was truly telling the truth. This is a pretty good suspense, but there were some things I was able to guess while reading. It didn't take away from the craziness of the book, though.

This book also had a bit of romance mixed in, with some spicy scenes. This was my first Keeland novel, so I wasn't aware that she was a romance author and that this was her first (or one of her first) thrillers. If that is the case, I am excited to read more thrillers by Vi Keeland.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

The Unraveling was a complicated, twisty read with phenomenal characters. Five stars is not enough!!!

I didn’t download through NetGalley wasn’t aware it was here! I did however listen and read. Audio was fantastic.
Now for a debut suspense / thriller ( more suspense )
Bravo !
Checks off the boxes for me.
From the start we are instantly engaged in Meredith and why she is in this state , who this mystery man is and what has made her become this person.
So it begins … The Unraveling. Right along we go just leading us Vi Keeland li to keep us hooked on what is going on.
I really enjoyed it, it flowed had a great pace and the characters were intriguing and frustrating. Perfect combination.
I read this when it debuted . I just am seeing this in my account and felt the need to thank the publisher for the Chance even if I didn’t have a chance to download .

A good solid thriller! I really loved the suspenseful twists and turns, and I loved the short chapters.

I have never read anything by Vi Keeland before, but this was her first thriller, and it was an impressive genre debut. The Unraveling lived up to its psychological thriller category, especially because the MC, Meredith, is a psychiatrist who begins stalking the man, whose life was ruined by her husband and indirectly, by her. However, when the man walks into her practice as a new patient, it's unclear if there's something more sinister at play.

Because I had read many, many reviews that mentioned the shocking twist, I was able to gauge that things weren't exactly as they appeared. I figured out most of the twists beforehand, but it was still a fun journey to get there.

I was thinking this book was a solid 3/3.5 stars and then the last paragraph of the book made me gasp out loud! So I bumped it to a 4 star read. This was a quick twisty read and I was along for the ride. Most of the book I spent thinking I knew exactly what was going on and then everything flipped on its head and I was left shocked. This was a fun book and I'm definitely interested in reading more from this author. I received a free copy of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Having read a lot of romances of Vi Keeland, I was a bit surprised to see a suspense / drama story from her hand at the Netgalley website.

So, out of curiosity, I requested the arc. And it was a surprise indeed. The Unraveling is a twisted story with a lot of unexpected twists and turns and an ending I definitely didn’t see coming. Did I enjoy the story? Well sure, but if you are already familiar with Vi’s other stories, you need some time to adjust from hot and steamy to dark and sinister.

But in all, a great story. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Meredith McCall never imagined that her seemingly perfect life could be derailed in just one night. The tragedy that struck pulled her in every direction, and things only became more complicated when Gabriel Wright crashed into her life.

Meredith's grief and guilt led her down a path from which there was no return. Her erratic behavior, though understandable, added a layer of tension to the story. I sympathized with Gabriel and liked the direction the author took with his character.

This book drew me in from the beginning, maintaining a fast pace that held my interest until the very end. While some revelations were expected, the story offered enough intrigue to remain engaging.

The Unraveling is a story of displaced obsession. It would appeal to readers who enjoy a psychological thriller.

As someone who is always on the hunt for great suspense, this book brought me so much joy. I have read several of Vi Keeland's books, and this one did not disappoint despite being wildly different. The twists and turns will keep you guessing until the end!

The Unraveling by Vi Keeland is a gripping psychological drama about obsession, ethics, and the blurred line between professional boundaries and personal turmoil. Meredith McCall, a psychiatrist dealing with profound loss, becomes dangerously fixated on Gabriel Wright, a man with whom she shares a tragic connection. When he unexpectedly becomes her patient, Meredith’s already fragile life spirals further as her moral compass deteriorates. Keeland masterfully explores the depths of obsession and the destructive impact it has on both the mind and relationships, delivering a tense and emotionally charged narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

This was sooo good! Twisty, thriller, a little sexy. Great sending! Highly recommend! Four ⭐️!!! I loved this!! One of the best books I’ve read so far!

Vi Keeland has always been one of my go-to authors. So when I heard she was writing a suspense book, I was thrilled and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. T his riveting story has plenty of twists and turns. This book was intriguing and kept me on my toes till the very last page.

Vi - give us more suspense books. This one was definitely worth the read!
