Flatiron Books Behind Her Eyes: A Suspenseful Psychological Thriller

I was so interested in the story until the astral projection stuff started turning up. It is not a suspense story, more of a horror/supernatural tale. It was well written and interesting up to that point but then it just became silly and unbelievable. Obviously the ending was even more of a twist but not a twist that could in any way be based on reality. I was extremely disappointed. If I wanted to read a story about astral projection I would have looked for one. This book is not a mystery. The mystery is why very few people are bothered by the false promise of this book.

The book is good until the last 1/3. I feel like it's several hours of my life that I cannot get back which is not the feeling you want after finishing a read.The characters start out as strong and solid, as well as believable. But the ending is so preposterous that I threw the book across the room. I am still mad about it!

It's well-written. It's suspenseful. But it's not about anyone's mind.It's actually another New-Age mystical hooky-spooky story about magical incantations and imaginings disguised as a psychological study. It's purpose seems to be to keep the reader reading until the author's deception has to be exposed. The ending was a major let-down after a very long build-up.Some people like to be deceived. I'm not one of them.

I feel very misled and depressed after reading this book. It is well written but I hate this genre.

There is an ever-growing amount of hype surrounding this book, and in my opinion it is well deserved. That being said, it is not going to be for everyone. Trying not to give anything away, in the end it winds up bordering more on horror than suspense, and some people will not appreciate that part of it. If you think you are okay with it though, I strongly suggest you check this out. Single-mom Louise has a strong flirtation with a man at a bar one night and winds up thinking that she may have found the one. Unfortunately, when she next goes to work she discovers that the man from the bar is her new boss, who also happens to have a wife. To complicate matters further, said wife bumps into her on the street and the 2 strike up an easy friendship. The boss, David, begins having an affair with Louise, while the wife, Adele, begins filling Louise in on just how far from perfect her marriage, and her husband, can be. Of course there is more going on here than meets the eye, and Louise finds herself wondering just what she has gotten herself into, even though she can't help but come back for more. The aforementioned polarizing ending left me pretty well stunned, and I found I could not stop thinking about it for around a day afterwards. Your mileage may vary, but I can't say I've read anything like this before, and strongly recommend you check out what is likely to be the perfectly-plotted shocker of the year.
