"Circe" by Jessica Penot {Book Review}


About the Book:



When Dr. David Black takes an internship at a very old psychiatric hospital back home in Alabama, he vows two things—that he will be a better husband to his beautiful and loving wife Pria, and that he will stop cheating on her.

Then his enigmatic supervisor Dr. Cassie Allen, a self-proclaimed witch with ties to the underworld, begins to draw him into her darkness. David finds it hard to resist her wicked sensuality, but even harder to resist her evil pull.

As strange and violent deaths pile up left and right, David realizes that Cassie’s psychotic behavior is connected to the mysterious hospital itself. There a demonic force threatens to destroy everything that David holds dear—his wife, his family, even his very sanity.

Review:


Circe has a well written plot, but it's not your ordinary horror novel, you need to dig deep to find the hidden clues. Ms. Penot pens an amazing psychological thriller that will leave you wanting to crawl under the covers and hide.  I totally enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end and recommend this to all who love thrillers!

I give Circe a 4 star rating.

  1. Sounds like a great book, but when you said you need to dig deep for the clues I realized I'd probably have to read it twice. Sounds like one of the movies you really need to pay close attention too!
