Phantom

I just finished Phantom by Helen Power and here is my review.

Regan, better known as Roz, is broke. She can't cover her share of the rent and life is looking worse and worse. Her ex boyfriend, a drug dealer, won't take no for an answer and she can't get any traction in the art world.

When she is at her most desperate, Roz is approached by a man. He offers her a million dollars for her left hand. Before she can change her mind, she wakes up to find her hand gone and a prosthetic in a box for her and her bank account.... FLUSH!

You think things would be better but now she is left with pain so bad she is enrolled in a clinical trial for a drug company. Relief at last but then something strange happens... She can suddenly feel when her missing hand is being used... to commit murder. The phantom strangler is now using her hand and Roz is at a loss to know what to do.
This book was so weird! I actually really enjoyed it. Roz was a hot mess and a half before all this happened and now she is totally out there. As far as unreliable narrators go, she was pretty good and I enjoyed all the characters in this book.
I love psychological thrillers where there is like a syndicate of criminal activity and this one really was well done. I just still have some questions so I am really hoping there is a second book. So many whys!! I won't spoil it but I have more questions than answers and that drives me insane.
This was definitely my favorite read of the month!
