Those Who Return

Set in the remote desert planes of Nebraska, the story follows Lorie a FBI Psychiatrist. She has been sent to Hatchery House to help treat abandoned children with psychiatric disorders. But when her patients start dying it's up to Lorie to find out who within the walls of Hatchery House is committing these murders!!

This book was slow at first but then became more fast paced and hypnotic at the end! I found the remote landscape a creepy setting all of its own. I would recommend to thriller fans and readers who enjoy police procedural stories or twisty mysteries!

Thanks to the author Kassandra Montag, the publisher Quercus Books and Netgalley for a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was such a melancholy and atmospheric book. I quite enjoyed it, though. The writing was top-notch. It's a slow burn type of story so isn't the fastest paced story. The plot was engaging, intelligent, and kept me guessing. There are plenty of intriguing and well-developed characters as well. My favorite being Oksana, and it was all wrapped up in a satisfactory ending. This one gets two solid thumbs up from yours truly.
