Synopsis:
Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.
When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave. But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr. Shields may know what she’s thinking…and what she’s hiding. As Jess’s paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what in her life is real, and what is one of Dr. Shields’ manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.

*My Thoughts*
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
Well, hmmm.... This was an interesting read. It definitely kept me guessing and hooked. With the alternating narrations, of Jessica and the Dr. Shields, the suspicious feel of the story begins when Jessica gets involved with Dr. Shields' psychological study on ethics and morality. Started off innocent enough, right?!? But, HELL NO, I found it incredibly devious as the story progressed. The well-developed characters are, I guess, relatable for any average person. Whether you liked or disliked any character(s), An Anonymous Girl delves into these characters' idea of what is right or wrong, in which the lines are blurred.
Definitely, something that makes one go, Hmmm... 🤔🤔🤔
This author combo created an entertaining and intriguing story that questioned these characters' ethics and morality; hence, the "study." Right?!? Hmmm... 🤔 This was a riveting and thought-provoking read at that. With it's fact-pace intrigue, I was beginning to question the "morals" of these characters. It definitely made me go, "Hmmm..." 🤔
I have not read any books by these authors before; but after reading An Anonymous Girl, I would highly recommend reading this one for those looking for a good mystery/thriller, especially psychological thrillers.
