My New Favorite Author
I love to read. I always have. I used to get in trouble growing up because I would be so immersed in a book that when someone, ie. my parents, talked to me, I wouldn’t hear them. I still get that way. Or I’ll stay up until 2am to finish a book because I can’t put it down and stop thinking about it until I know how it ends.
That being said, it’s safe to say that I’ve read A LOT of books. A lot. So it takes a lot for an author or book to sweep me off my feet and make me obsessed with them. But that’s just what this author does. I should probably mention that these books are psychological thrillers.
After I read my first book by her, in less than 24 hours, I instantly downloaded three more. It took me less than a week to finish those and I was onto the next.
I’ve told every reader I know about her and now I’m here to share her with you.
Freida McFadden is a physician who writes psychological thrillers and medical fiction. This review focuses solely on some of her thriller titles.
The first book I read by McFadden was Never Lie. I have truly never been so encapsulated by a book from start to finish. Not only did this novel keep me engrossed in the story, but the ending blew me away with how unexpected it was. I thought I had the book figured out and boy was I wrong. Below is the book description from Amazon:
“Newlyweds Tricia and Ethan are searching for the house of their dreams.
But when they visit the remote manor that once belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a renowned psychiatrist who vanished without a trace four years earlier, a violent winter storm traps them at the estate… with no chance of escape until the blizzard comes to an end.
In search of a book to keep her entertained until the snow abates, Tricia happens upon a secret room. One that contains audio transcripts from every single patient Dr. Hale has ever interviewed. As Tricia listens to the cassette tapes, she learns about the terrifying chain of events leading up to Dr. Hale’s mysterious disappearance.
Tricia plays the tapes one by one, late into the night. With each one, another shocking piece of the puzzle falls into place, and Dr. Adrienne Hale’s web of lies slowly unravels.
And then Tricia reaches the final cassette.
The one that reveals the entire horrifying truth.”
I still cannot get over this book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and just when you think you have it figured out, you’re wrong.

This is just my favorite book of hers. All of the other books that I’ve read by her have been just as surprising all the way until the end.
Another huge bonus is just how nice and down to earth McFadden is. I’m in Facebook group for readers that she is also a member of and she is always willing to make fun at her own books, talk to us fans, etc. You truly can’t go wrong with reading one of her books.
