This is definitely something new Vi Keeland has written! Being her first thriller it was a fun and interesting read. I loved the short chapters and switching time lines from then and now. I did feel like the ending was a little rushed and I wish it was more developed. Being the romance reader I am I wanted more in that sense but I know this is more of a thriller vibe for Keeland so I respect that. I would recommend if you want something intriguing and fast paced!

WOW!
This book has been a surprise. First of all, it's not the books Vi Keeland usually writes. But also because you will be trapped in a web of lies and twists that will awe you.
It's about Meredith, a psychiatrist who is trying to come back to her life again after a tragedy. But then she develops an obsession for Gabriel Wright, a man connected to the tragic events that marked their lives forever.
Read this book, it won't disappoint you.

This was a fast-paced, can’t put it down, can be read in one sitting thriller! This is Vi Keeland’s debut thriller (check out her romances) and she knocked it out of the park.

This is a story of a psychiatrist entering therapy but you don’t know why. It’s a story of two marriages but I won’t say why.

This was a popcorn thriller and perfect for fans of the genre. The twists in this book completely knocked me off kilter!

This is perfect for fans of:

-mystery
-suspense
-thrillers
-fast-paced reads
-crazy twists

Thank you to Netgalley and Atria for this ARC!

This psychological thriller will keep you on your toes ! Its a wild, unhinged ride with an unreliable narrator!

The psychiatrist is seeing a psychiatrist... and who's stalking who... WOW.. unexpected romance?
I don't want to say much, go into this book knowing NOTHING .. and enjoy the ride!

I would recommend this book to readers who loved The Silent Patient, it really gave off some similar vibes. This is a fun thriller that stays with you. Not easily forgettable.

This is probably a 4.5 for me rounded up to a 5 star.
I really hope this book gets the readership it deserves!

A heartfelt thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for providing an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Meredith McCall has done something bad. As a psychiatrist her job is to stay objective and professional. When she spots Gabriel on a New York Street she follows him. They have a shared experience and Meredith feels obliged to see how he's doing. What starts off as innocent slowly turns into stalking. When it goes one step further, Meredith starts questioning her judgment and capabilities. It only gets worse when Gabriel walks into her office as a new patient. What path has she set herself on? Small acts begin to throw Meredith off balance and entangle her into a web of lies that could cost her everything. How far is she willing to go to know the truth?

This was well done. Holy smokes, it's a game of cat and mouse but much more devious. I love a main character who seems unstable. As a reader you not only question them but also what's happening around them. The characters were well formed and the plot was explosive. Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book.

This was a fast-paced, unpredictable thriller. As a mental health therapist, I thought the ethical implications for the profession were handled very well. I've read books before where the storyline took a crazy turn because of far-fetched outcomes or ridiculous details that just didn't align... this was not one of them. Keeland handled the ins and outs of the psychiatric profession and those suffering with mental health difficulties with care and just enough realistic details to keep things believable yet surprisingly unpredictable. And the epilogue... well... I never saw THAT coming. Overall a great book that held my attention and kept me guessing. Definitely recommend!

This book is such a great psychological thriller. Everytime I thought I had an idea to predict how the story would go there'd be an unexpected plot twist and turn. The emotions of the events pull you in from the very beginning and I couldn't put the book down! And OMG the ending throws you for one more twist!
I must admit I am a big fan of Vi Keeland's romance novels. I was a little nervous for the thriller genre shift, I do love a HEA. But the story telling in the Unravaling is so good! I'm so glad I took the leap and read this book!!!!

Meredith is a psychiatrist who lives a lovely life - star hockey player husband, good friends and a thriving private practice. When her husband gets injured playing hockey, everything changes. Her husband begins abusing painkillers, which he obtains from stealing Meredith’s prescription pad. After a fight, he drives under the influence and kills a mother and young child.
Life changes for Meredith in the blink of an eye. She is under investigation from the medical board and struggling to cope. One day, Meredith sees the surviving husband and notices he seems happy. She begins following him to understand how he can be happy after losing his wife and child. Things unravel quickly and Meredith finds herself wrapped up with the husband, making so many poor decisions.
I read this book quickly, but began to feel it was too predictable. Then the author threw a massive curveball at the end that I did not see coming at all and left me with a definite wow factor! I highly recommend this fast paced thriller!
Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance reader copy of this book. The live of a psychiatrist can be fascinating. This book makes a wonderful story that twists and turns and has the reader constantly guessing (incorrectly in my case) the ending. A page turner for sure. Great character development and the reader loves to hate both the protagonist and the antagonist. 4.5 stars rounding up to a perfect 5.

OMG! This book grips you from the very first page until the final paragraph—it's an understatement to say the least.

Meet Meredith, a psychiatrist whose world is shattered when her husband tragically dies in an accident surrounded by sinister circumstances. As she grapples with this loss, Meredith finds herself consumed by an obsession that propels her dangerously close to the edge.

I was thoroughly engrossed in this thriller; the narrative skillfully weaves between past and present, unraveling the haunting backstory that shapes Meredith's questionable decisions. Brace yourself for a thrilling ride that will leave you deliciously paranoid and utterly breathless!

A heartfelt thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for providing an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I was very intrigued by this novel as Vi normally only writes romance novels. She did an amazing job with this book it keeps you guessing until the end. Dr. Meredith McCall was an interesting and complex character but you feel for her and the decisions she has to make. I really hope Vi writes more psychological thrillers because she did a great job!

This review is based on a complimentary copy provided by the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This was such a different read. I didn't think that I would love it this much, but I did.
I love Keelands type of writting so this was an easy 5 stars

New genre from this author, and it was quite an intriguing read. It has a bit of a slow burn when it comes to the suspense. You're not quite sure exactly what it is that makes this more than a drama until further along in the story and things unfold (or Unravels.) ;) There are subtle hints/clues along the way if you are looking for them. Plenty of suspicions. It starts with her obsession of finding out how a person can be happy after a tragedy (her psychiatrist brain wanting to understand,) but that turns into so much more, and soon she's finding herself in a bit of a dangerous situation. It's narrated by the Protagonist and for the most part, it's written as though she was talking to her husband... her dead husband. She may be the kind of character some people don't like, due to her actions. I, personally never not liked her, but there were times I wanted to shake some sense into her. She's also the kind of character that will gather some sympathy (at least for certain things.) I feel she does redeem herself by the end of the book. It flips back and forth between the past and present. There is no violence within the pages, but there is some sexual content, not a lot, but some. There is much mention of death of a loved one, including a child (so if you are sensitive to this, be forewarned.) Overall, it has plenty of that suspense and mind foolery happening.. right until the very last sentence.

*I received an ARC from Netgalley.

Dr. Meredith McCall has suffered a tragic loss and is also on suspension from her job as a psychiatrist. With all of her free time, she makes some choices that could put her in danger. She knows that stalking someone is wrong, she knows she’s drinking too much, and she knows that she needs professional help. Once her suspension is over and she returns to work, the man she’s been stalking shows up in her office as a new patient. Now Meredith really unravels.

Told in the before and after of her tragedy, this thriller will keep you guessing. I thoroughly enjoyed this and highly recommend it. Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for this 4-star read.

This book is insanely good! It is a fabulous thriller.
It took me a bit of time to get into, however once I did, I loved every page.
It’s very well written and super clever. The ending brings everything together and is great.
This is definitely a 5 star read and I’ll recommend to anyone!

All the makings of a great thriller! I spent a lot of time questioning whether the main character was sane or insane. I liked not really knowing if she was truly perceiving reality or not. Lots and lots of twists! However, the writing style was a little simple.

This book was such a twisty, insane ride. i really couldn't stop reading and I am SHOOK by that ending. I would recommend this 100%. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the digital ARC!
