Would you sacrifice your soul to see into the mind of a serial killer for seven days?
Justice will be served, but never before like this.
Sessions, a mind-bending
psychological noir, delves into the minds of two women as they go
head-to-head in seven therapy sessions, taking the terms “treatment” and
“killer” and flipping them on their heads.
Is there a real life family connection to the killer’s evil?
And if she has never been caught, is there someone infamous in her life who has?
And if she has never been caught, is there someone infamous in her life who has?
The “Entity” marks its territory
through the pastoral environs of Vermont; Mount Mansfield, a Burlington
art gallery, a sugar maple farm and inside the psychiatrist’s office,
housed within a majestic Victorian mansion eerily familiar to more than
one soul.
This is not a police procedural, my friends…
Sessions is a novel I was destined to read and love thanks to its thrilling and exciting themes that make for a perfect, unforgettable story. Psychological thrillers have to be my most favorite genre of all but what I love the most about this genre is when I discover a book in it which stands out amongst the crowded genre, and Sessions is that book for me. This is because Sessions is a book you will rarely come across, firstly it has some of the best suspenseful writing I have ever witnessed in a thriller novel, but also the book features daring and brave female protagonists that will captivate its readers.
Sessions for me was an incredibly thrilling novel, and this is thanks to the combination of action, suspense, murder and crime and the incredible author B.J. Thompson wonderfully weaves all of these themes together which in turn takes the readers on an unforgettable journey full of twists and turns galore.

Sessions is a unique novel that is hard to describe thanks to its intricate and detailed plot; however, I am going to try my best to!

I tried to predict the plot many times, but Thompson’s story is so unpredictable that I could never once guess it correctly! The fact that the plot is so unpredictable makes it enthralling from beginning to end, and this is all thanks to the genius writer B.J. Thompson.
