MY REVIEW
The premise of the story was so good with dark swirling secrets that kept me glued to the Scandinavian noir by author Alex Dahl.
Kristina, an eminent psychologist, was quite involved in her patient Leah’s life until a few truths led her down to the cabin in the middle of nowhere. A manuscript Supernova awaited her that would blast her right out.
Reading this author after a long time, I was quite embroiled in the prose. But soon the prose went into descriptive lines and repetitive thoughts till Kristina reached the cabin.
All the parts regarding the manuscript and the secrets it hid were bloody explosive, and the truths made the suspense palpable. A couple of twists I could guess, and a couple blew my mind.
This book was such a dichotomy of thoughts. Had it been sharply edited and given a better flow, it would have rocked. It felt too much like a translated piece of work.
Read the beginning, skim, the midsection, then read the parts of Supernova carefully, and you will be completely enthralled.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my journey down its pages, straight from the heart. STRICTLY HONEST and UNBIASED.

Too bad, seems like a sound premise and interesting twists – just needed an editor.
Sorry to hear this Shalini. I loved his last book. Pacing is so important, especially in a thriller.
Sorry this one disappointed, Shalini. I loved it. ❤📚
You were my Goodreads inspiration to keep reading. I had guessed most of it. I saw your 5 stars.
It sounds intriguing and I love both the cover and any type of suspense involving psychologists. Thanks for the review as I hadn’t heard of this one yet. I’ll definitely add it to my TBR list.
