[close] The Anatomy of Suspense: Dissecting the Mind Behind the Mystery Welcome to the official Goodreads group for author Hermes Marcondes Lourenço! This is the central hub for readers who crave psychological thrillers, gripping suspense, and scientifically informed mystery built on a foundation of clinical reality. As a practicing physician, professor of Urgency Medicine, and certified in Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis, I use my deep, unique understanding of human trauma, the limits of the mind, and psychopathology to craft fiction that is not just surprising—it’s intensely, unsettlingly plausible. If you enjoy a "roller coaster of sensations and emotions," complex characters, and plots that delve into the darkness of the human psyche—from brutal psychopaths (Faces de Um Anjo) and gripping historical mysteries (The Witching Hour) to global conspiracies (THE NEPHESH PROTOCOL) and elements of dark fantasy (The Goblin: The Price of the Soul)—you belong here. What you’ll find in The Anatomy of Suspense: Exclusive Q&A sessions and discussions with Hermes Lourenço. Behind-the-scenes insights into the medical and psychological research that informs the novels. Early news about upcoming releases, including international translations in English and German. Debates and recommendations on the best suspense, mystery, and scientifically informed thrillers across the genre. Ready to dissect the next plot? Join the collective!

[close] Hi readers, my name is Andrea A. Faulborn, and I'm seeking ARC readers for my upcoming novel, Corrupt Me Gently. It's a stalker dark romance that's a bit techy. Blurb: Damian Allport is a couples’ therapist. Three years ago, he inherited his grandfather’s case files, which contained records of patients involved in a secretive memory extraction program at a neurobank called Mnemosyne. Damian thought nothing of them until Amoura Wetton walked into his office. She had once been his grandfather's patient. Amoura feels empty and suspects her husband, Arran, is cheating. But Damian knows the truth. Her mind had been wiped by Mnemosyne Bank, which was co-founded by Arran and a man named Levi, who is now Arran’s bitter enemy. Damian’s obsession with Amoura festers. He tracks her every move and watches through surveillance as her husband takes her skin on skin, breath for breath. This enrages him. In a game of control to expose Arran, he begins sending her letters, posing as the sister, which leads her straight to Levi. Suddenly, Damian is no longer in control when Levi kidnaps Amoura. Desperate to reclaim her, he is forced to team up with Arran to stop Levi before he rewrites Amoura’s mind. But when they arrive at the hidden facility, they uncover a truth they never imagined. Amoura has been playing all three men for two years. She has Neural Extraction Resistance Syndrome, a rare condition that renders memory wipes ineffective. She remembers everything: Levi stealing her memory and Arran trying to rewrite her mind while faking her death. And she has used that knowledge to infiltrate, seduce, and dismantle everyone. Damian, Arran and Levi are shattered as Amoura goes rogue and plays her final card.
