Her deceased husband ends up killing a woman and child during a car accident. She is left trying to put together the pieces together however, something is off. She ends up seeing the husband, <strong>Gabriel Wright<\/strong>, of the dead woman that her husband killed and starts to follow him.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meredith is confused that Gabriel appears to be handling life so well after suffering the loss of wife and child. She wants to know if it is an act or if it is the real deal. She starts a dangerous trail of stalking him and trying to figure it all out. She just didn\u2019t expect him to come into her office as a patient one day, asking for help. She knows she needs to send him somewhere else but is so caught up in putting the pieces together that she crosses the ethical client\/personal lines.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m not a stranger to this author at all, but this is a new genre for me when it comes to her. I didn\u2019t know how I would feel about this. What would happen? However, this book took me down a rabbit hole and I didn\u2019t want to stop reading it because it was so dark and scary at times. This makes it so hard for me to review. Readers have to go in blindly. The little twists and shockers shouldn\u2019t be spoiled or revealed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meredith\u2019s mental health was always at the forefront of my mind in this thriller. I couldn\u2019t understand why she didn\u2019t seek any help. I didn\u2019t understand a lot of what was going on. I kept asking myself, \u201cWhat am I reading?\u201d but I couldn\u2019t let up. Then BAM! The moment where you see how unhinged everyone really is revealed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I did enjoy all the smutty-like behavior and tension, I didn\u2019t necessarily love it. I felt something for Meredith initially, but she did a few idiotic things. I like the chemistry and watching the story unravel, but it could have been tighter, so it&#8217;s not full-on five stars, but very close.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is such a delicious, well-written, dark thriller that fans of this author will enjoy. Fans of dark, sensual thrillers will enjoy this as well.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_wvxu456 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LiJ58X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3xV3CgL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-unraveling-vi-keeland\/1144226802?ean=9781668046876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-unraveling-29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Vi_Keeland_The_Unraveling?id=URjdEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This isn\u2019t a love story.It\u2019s a story about obsession.After experiencing a terrible loss, New York City psychiatrist Meredith McCall feels painfully adrift.

When she crosses paths with a man with whom she has a tragic connection, she follows him, sparking an unhealthy obsession with Gabriel Wright. How is he doing so well while her life is in shambles?<br \/><br \/>But when Gabriel walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical and moral bounds to treat him.

Her deceased husband ends up killing a woman and child during a car accident. She is left trying to put together the pieces together however, something is off. She ends up seeing the husband, <strong>Gabriel Wright<\/strong>, of the dead woman that her husband killed and starts to follow him.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meredith is confused that Gabriel appears to be handling life so well after suffering the loss of wife and child. She wants to know if it is an act or if it is the real deal. She starts a dangerous trail of stalking him and trying to figure it all out. She just didn\u2019t expect him to come into her office as a patient one day, asking for help. She knows she needs to send him somewhere else but is so caught up in putting the pieces together that she crosses the ethical client\/personal lines.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m not a stranger to this author at all, but this is a new genre for me when it comes to her. I didn\u2019t know how I would feel about this. What would happen? However, this book took me down a rabbit hole and I didn\u2019t want to stop reading it because it was so dark and scary at times. This makes it so hard for me to review. Readers have to go in blindly. The little twists and shockers shouldn\u2019t be spoiled or revealed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meredith\u2019s mental health was always at the forefront of my mind in this thriller. I couldn\u2019t understand why she didn\u2019t seek any help. I didn\u2019t understand a lot of what was going on. I kept asking myself, \u201cWhat am I reading?\u201d but I couldn\u2019t let up. Then BAM! The moment where you see how unhinged everyone really is revealed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I did enjoy all the smutty-like behavior and tension, I didn\u2019t necessarily love it. I felt something for Meredith initially, but she did a few idiotic things. I like the chemistry and watching the story unravel, but it could have been tighter, so it's not full-on five stars, but very close.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is such a delicious, well-written, dark thriller that fans of this author will enjoy. Fans of dark, sensual thrillers will enjoy this as well.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LiJ58X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3xV3CgL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-unraveling-vi-keeland\/1144226802?ean=9781668046876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-unraveling-29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Vi_Keeland_The_Unraveling?id=URjdEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31336"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31343,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31336\/revisions\/31343"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
