I am absolutely terrible at predicting the endings to books like this. Every time I think I know what is going on, nope. This was a fun story about one med students night studying patients in the psych ward. Already nervous about staying the night, Amy starts interviewing patients and begins believing them when they say that they’re going to be killed that night. Are the patients really crazy? Is she crazy? Why is her childhood bff one of the patients? Is that blood in the floor? 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s

Very predictable, the only book of Mcfadden I knew the ending. But good read.
