Patient 7
A psychiatric patient who predicts murders—down to the details.
Dr. Rachel Hadley has barely absorbed the shock of her ex-husband, psychiatrist Dr. Colton Hadley, vanishing when County Detective Lane Archer uncovers something Colton left a set of taped interviews no one was supposed to find.
On them is a voice labeled Patient 7—a patient Colton should never have been treating.
Calm. Precise. And describing four murders before they happen.
Locations. Timing. The victims.
Even more chilling, Patient 7 has had no contact with the outside world in over six months.
As Rachel and Detective Archer race to uncover who Patient 7 really is, the first predicted murder comes true.
And then the next.
Now, with each clue dragging them deeper into a deadly pattern, Detective Archer must identify the next victim before the killer strikes again—while Rachel begins to fear that Colton’s disappearance was never the beginning of this nightmare.
It was part of the plan.
Because if Patient 7 knows how this ends, the final murder may not just explain why Colton vanished.
It may be the one no one sees coming.

Did Not Finish
June 17, 2026had to dnf this one at 55%. the story has so much potential to be good but i cannot get past all of the filler words and phrases. every time someone said anything it was ‘he says, he replies’ ‘i replied, such and such’ i feel like it’s holding my hand through every movement anyone makes and i don’t like that about a book and i am not interested enough in how it ends to put up with it.

Entirely written by AI, or at least severely influenced by AI.
All the hallmarks are there and it is obvious and jarring as you read. Examples of AI generated prose repeated ad nauseam in the book include:
1. “Not X. Not Y. Z.”
2. Weirdly vague similes EVERYWHERE. Example: “something sweet handed to her like kindness.”
3. Lists of words or sentence fragments that give a general vibe but no real information.
4. “The kind of X that doesn’t Y.”
5. Use of the word “almost” to describe feelings when it isn’t necessary or natural to use it. Example: “she exhales, almost irritated with herself.”
6. Mistakes in punctuation or formatting where the “author” didn’t carefully proofread the AI output or insert/delete spaces properly when copying over the AI text.
7. Mistaken identities (“Harold” is somehow a woman when the MC enters his/her hospital room?).
8. Very specific early morning time mentioned (2:17 a.m.) at one point. It’s been found that if you ask AI to generate a “random” time in the early morning it’ll mostly give the same response, almost always ending in 47 or 17.
Just way too many of these things are present for this to be normal writing by a human. Could not finish due to poorly transcribed AI writing.
With more editing the idea could be refined into something less bland and more intelligible.

Did not finish at 33%. Felt like reading something from ChatGPT. Then I read the other reviews and I see I’m not the only one who thought so.

First time reading a book where I’ve thought there could be AI involved in the editing — devastating to say the least.

The short chapters kept me turning the pages and while the plot was originally very intriguing - it ended up falling extremely flat for me. You have to be kidding me with the plot twist of Colton being the swollen guy in the psych bed 😂😂😂 get out of here
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

What in the AI 🥲🥴.
This was actually a really good story idea, hence the stars. But it so obviously had AI fingerprints ALL OVER IT. I only finished it because I really wanted to know what happened, gotta love thrillers 😅.
In some sections, I felt like I was reading word for word something chat gtp would generate.

An easy 5⭐️ everything you look for in a thriller, I did not guess ANY of the multiple twists. I could not put this one down!!
June 27, 2026
Loved this book, had me gripped from the start. I didn’t see it coming and I loved how complex the plot was.
June 21, 2026
For a thriller girlie, this book had everything : suspense, shocking twists, a true page-turner plot, and even a satisfying happy ending. I really loved the character development, and the story kept me intrigued from beginning to end. There was never a dull moment, and I couldn’t put it down. This was my first book by this author, and it definitely won’t be my last!

i read this mostly in a state of disbelief, concerned that if my kindle highlighted notes somehow became public, i was being very, very mean. a one star review is maybe also mean in its own right, but if i could give this less stars i would.
things were bad when our main character, rachel, narrates herself as a doctor, a professional, and a good person verbatim by page 47. looking at 5 stars review here, i don’t understand how there is collective agreement that this book has good character development. by the epilogue, i thought rachel was a worse person.
i hate to say pick me, but girl.
GIRL.
you would not believe the range of characters that ‘reluctantly smile’ at rachel’s brilliance or tack on a comment that she’s impressive when people are literally, like, dying.
chapters are short, you will finish this quickly. page turner but not in a way i would ever recommend.

Y’all, this is a chilling psychological thriller that pulled me in from the start.
The story follows Dr. Rachel Hadley as she searches for answers after her ex-husband disappears—only to discover secret tapes of a mysterious “Patient 7” predicting murders before they happen. Even more unsettling? The predictions start coming true.
The writing is sharp and easy to follow, with a fast pace that keeps the tension high. The characters feel real, especially Rachel, and Patient 7 is calm, eerie, and unforgettable.
Overall, this is a twisty, suspense-filled read that keeps you guessing and is definitely worth picking up if you love psychological thrillers.

THIS BOOK HAS GOT TO BE A JOKE.
I almost DNF-ed because it reads like such ChatGPT, AI slop. All the filler words make this such a tedious read.
The concept of the book was good but the writer writes so bad 😭. I’m sorry I try to be like gracious because I know writing is hard but I literally struggled so much.
The only reason I got through it was because I was hoping it would get better and I was on a plane with no other books to read.
Also, all the recent reviews are 1 or 2 stars so I have no idea how the average is 4 stars? It’s a little suspicious…
Also, I know that there were meant to be plot twists, and idk if it was just me, but I found it so easy to figure out who was behind everything it wasn’t hard at all?

RTC. SO GOOD.
July 14, 2026
Disappointed. I'm sorry, but romance and thrillers DO NOT MIX. And over a third of this book was mushiness and eye batting. Ruined the mood for the thriller. The plot was good though. It had potential..
July 9, 2026
It was good. A little slow at times but very interesting. I'm not usually a fan of the detective/police subgenre of thrillers but I did like the amount in this one.
June 28, 2026
Okay this gave me everything I was looking for in a psychological thriller. It had suspense, mystery, who done it, and a little bit of romance. Which I’m usually not really into, but it worked for me in this one!
July 9, 2026
Solid enough plot but some writing felt a little AI generated and tough to get through
June 11, 2026
Very underwhelming after I was looking forward to reading. Bit of a nothing plot/story line
July 30, 2026
the first quarter of this felt a little slow to start, but the pace definitely picks up once you near the end! i could not put it down & i was so curious to see where things would go. i didnt see most of the twists coming and it was a solid read all & all. my only complaint is the romance... we could have left that out entirely. i was annoyed everytime i had to read about these two characters with no chemistry falling in "love" with each other instead of idk... catching the killer???
June 25, 2026
This was a good, fast read book for me. A psychological thriller with a touch of romance. One of the main characters Rachel, was a tad annoying.. but I got past that. Was it a "couldn't put down-page turner"? No, but it did keep me interested.

July 22, 2026First couple chapters were ok, but A lot of AI accusations which definitely make sense with the writing, got lots of other things to read so I'm not risking it.

quick suspenseful thriller
This was a fun, fast-paced thriller with a unique concept. The whole idea of a psychiatric patient predicting murders before they happen had me hooked right away.
There were some twists I didn't see coming, overall it was an entertaining read.
Definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for a suspenseful read.

Very good book, kept me on my toes the entire time. Sabrina writes very well, you think you have it figured out but you don’t and the book has a few unexpected moments.
July 19, 2026
Fast read 4/5
June 20, 2026
La définition d’un page turner, je ne m’attendais pas à cette twist.
July 18, 2026
Really good thriller!!
June 14, 2026
This book took some time but was worth the slower reading. A lot of details in the book that help solve the murders were laid out at different points in the novel. The characters all play a significant role and the plot wraps up quite well with a lot of details the reader would want to know. I appreciated the story having finality to it and not just a rushed finish.
July 26, 2026
I could not put this book down. Truly from the first chapter I was HOOKED! Thriller meets romance. LOVED IT
June 10, 2026
3.5 - it was fine, but honestly nothing special. Some parts felt like they dragged on, the twists didn’t really feel like “big twists” to me.
The “plot twist” kind of felt forced? Like someone wanted to make it seem complex and “hidden” but during the “reveal” I just felt more like “…meh” called parts of it, pointed out things out loud that ended up in the reveal later…
The romance also felt a bit inauthentic and “forced” as well in my opinion. Kind of felt like a non-necessary addition.
Easy day read on the beach but not one I’d reach for again or recommend to my book friends.
