Every once in awhile you read a book that was nothing
like you imagined it would be. When you finish that last
chapter, you are left sitting there saying WOW! This was
exactly that book for me. I absolutely loved it. Saying
too much about the story line, will take away from the
reading experience and give away its secrets.
The story is a little confusing in the beginning since it
jumps right in with Naomi Carradine in the Fairfax
Psychiatric hospital for the last month.. When Naomi
meets her new doctor, Dr Rutledge, she begins to tell her
story. The story that led her up to the day she was
admitted into Fairfax.
It isn't until we get the back story, do we learn about
how and why Naomi is in her current situation. The story
is told from Naomi's point of view and during her
sessions with Dr Rutledge. Each session is a flashback
into Naomi's past that takes the reader back to when
Naomi meets those she cares for most in her life, her
best friend Lana, Lachlan, and Max.
It is only when the past catches up to the present do we
start to see the story unfold. All the while, the reader
is wondering is Naomi really is crazy or not. And just
when you think you have the ending figured out...Wham!
Its steam rolls over you! I must say, that I certainly
didn't see it ending the way it did.
Calia Read's Unravel is certainly a book that needs to be
on everyone's reading list. It is considered new adult
romance, but this isn't your typical romance. Calia
Read's writing style flows beautifully throughout the
entire book, that reader can not begin to see what the
next page will bring. Calia Read is a new author for me,
and I am curious as to what she will be doing with this,
and since I could not put this book down, it certainly
won't be my last.
One kiss can change everything.
One month ago I was admitted to a psych ward. Yesterday,
Lachlan told me I’m losing my mind. But I know what I saw.
Will you believe me?
Behind the walls of a mental hospital, Naomi Carradine
feels
her world breaking to pieces. She’s starting to believe all
the voices questioning her sanity. Only visitors from the
outside world keep her tethered to reality. But deep in her
thoughts, Naomi is haunted by memories of a golden summer
that twisted into a waking nightmare of obsessive love and
fractured truths.
Just home from college, Naomi moves in with her best
friend,
Lana, the daughter of a Virginia senator. At a lavish party
thrown by Lana’s father, Naomi meets a sexy stockbroker
named Max and finds herself unable to resist his charms.
One
fiery kiss and she’s going back for more, beginning a
terrifying descent. Having witnessed the unspeakable, Naomi
has only one hope of escape: unraveling the devastating
secrets of her past.
Unravel is intended for mature audiences.
