Dark Dangerous Truth by J.S.Ellis ~ 5⭐

Genre: Psychological Fiction ~ Release Date: June 27, 2023

REVIEW: Bravo! Dark Dangerous Truth is a brand new Domestic Thriller coming to us from J.S.Ellis. I’m sure she will have many fans of her new book. It is told in a very different way and I kind of liked it. Oh! By the way, there is a huge twist at the end that totally blindsided me. I love when a book gives me that kind of experience. It is one you don’t forget very easily.

James Hall is the main character and the book is told from his point of view. He goes back to the beginning and tells the story with snippets of things his son told him later. So, you kind of get the feeling that things work out ok. At least it looks like his son is alive and they have talked. 

James is a nurse in a psychiatric hospital and Evelyne is one of the patients who has been admitted for killing her parents and brother. When the police arrive, she is sitting on the couch watching television with the rifle laying on the couch next to her. She has been a patient for three years when she escapes. 

James has recently lost his wife and his twenty-one year old son moves back home. We hear his side of the story about his son being on the run with Evelyne. That would scare me if my son were with a killer. This book has so many twists and turns. Evelyne’s ex-finance is in the story along with her doctor.

I was immediately drawn into this story because of the way it was told. It was so different from anything I have read before. I read a lot so when a book comes at me in a completely different way, it catches my attention. If you love Psychological Fiction, I guarantee you will enjoy this book. Until next time…Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS: She killed her family. Now she’s run away with what’s left of his…

As the head nurse at a psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane, James Hall had perfected keeping his work and home life separate. The last thing he wants is for someone he cares about becoming ensnared in the web of any of his patients, especially the notorious Evelyne Young who slaughtered her parents and brother three short years ago.

Then, his twenty-one-year-old son, Maurice, moves back home.
James’ ultimate nightmare comes true when Evelyne escapes from the ward, and his twenty-one-year-old son ends up on the run with her. Fearing for Maurice’s life, James scrambles to find him by investigating Evelyne’s past.
Did she truly just snap the night she murdered her family, or is her mysterious ex-fiancé hiding something?

James faces more questions than answers, and time is running out.

By uncovering the truth of Evelyne’s bloody past, can he figure out where she and Maurice are hiding in time to stop his son become her next victim?
