Guilty Ryan Review:

“Guilty” is a lovely psychological thriller where a woman deals with an abusive husband on one side and an obsessed fan on the other side, and I enjoyed reading it!

What I enjoyed about the story is how the author manages to shift the personality of the characters. The author writes the story in a gripping manner where you think you know the characters, but they tend to surprise you. In the beginning, I was disturbed by Lindy and her obsession with Mia. I wondered how far Lindy would go and what her intentions were. Poor Mia! I felt terrible for her in the book.

On the one hand, she has someone like Lindy who is following her every move. On the other hand, she has a husband like Ricky who tortures her. Ricky is one of those characters who I despised with a passion. The way he treats Mia because of his ulterior motives was despicable. As you notice from my rant, I was utterly immersed in the storyline and the characters and had no idea what they were doing.

Moreover, as the story progresses, you learn more about the character’s backgrounds and change your perception. The author also moves the story nicely that leads to a chilling climax. This book had one of those endings that had me speechless, and I recollect how the characters behaved in certain scenes. Some of my memorable moments include when Mia and Lindy take the bus and plan their next move or when Ricky meets Lindy for the first time. After reading this book, I am interested in picking up some of the other’s previous novels.

Overall, “Guilty” is an entertaining book if you’re in the mood for a gripping psychological thriller.
