Sypnosis: I'm a therapist, and I work with the most dangerous patients.

I've seen it all... A boy who planned to be the next school shooter. A patient with OCD whose loved ones really did suffer every time he missed a ritual. A choir boy who claimed he was being molested -- not by a priest -- but by God Himself. A patient with PTSD who gave me nightmares. A husband and wife who accused each other of abuse, and only one of them was telling the truth.

And how could I ever forget, Patient #220.

The problem is, my patients have a habit of dying. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the common denominator. Or maybe that's just the cost of taking on exceptionally broken clients.

Either way, I'll never stop trying to help.

Review: I saw this book briefly pimped up on Book Tok. The review said it was worth the read and should be picked up. Like an idiot, I listened to the Book Toker. I regret bothering this story.

Dr. Harper comes across as incompetent and most of the stuff they do seems completely illegal and unbecoming of a therapist. I wondered several times if Dr. Harper received their degree from the cracker jack box. I could not bother to even continue with it much longer.

So, I ended up DNFing the book, and I doubt I will bother picking up the next book in this series.
