THIS ISN'T A LOVE STORY.
THIS IS OBSESSION.
Meredith McCall was once a respected New York City psychiatrist. But the night of the accident she lost everything: her husband, her reputation and almost her mind.
When she crosses paths with the man whom she shares the most tragic connection, Meredith can't help but follow him. How is Gabriel Wright doing so well when her life is in shambles?
Watching Gabriel from afar becomes a compulsion she just can't shake - her newest obsession. But when he walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical bounds to treat him. Yet, Meredith can't bring herself to turn him away...
Could delving into Gabriel's mind give her the answers that she needs? Or will their relationship set off a chain of events that she can no longer control?

Super tense
Blurred boundaries
Twists to the final lines
The Unravelling blew me away with the tension it held and passed on to me; I couldn't put this book down. This was a story where lines were so blurred that they couldn't be seen anymore, where marriages and relationships were so twisted up and doctors and patients couldn't be trusted.
Meredith was a character that took me on a roller coaster of like to what the hell and back to some element of sympathy. We got chapters of 'now' with occasional 'thens' where we saw her before the tragedy and the almost unrecognisable person she became afterwards.
Meredith was one part psychiatrist and one part mentally unwell person herself, but some of that was understandable. She definitely shouldn't have been in the therapist's chair, however. For fiction, this worked exceedingly well. The other players in the story Gabriel, Connor, Rebecca and Sarah were all interesting and most of them great characters to dislike, apart from Sarah.
The twists in this book were exceptional. Some I saw foreshadowed, some I did not. Keeland kept the reader hanging on the twists right to the final words and I loved where it ended. I would love to read more of Vi Keeland in this genre.
Thank you to Piatkus for the review copy.
