A chilling read

“She is there to watch over you…But someone is watching her…”

A dark and compelling read, The Nurse is my first book by Claire Allan. An interesting and disturbing look into Incels*, this is a riveting and very twisted story that had me well and truly hooked right from the outset. It is just so unfathomable that this is actually a very real thing and does go on. It certainly open my eyes to it that’s for sure!

The characters in this book are a mixed bag with one so terrifying they scared the *bleep* out of me! Allen takes you deep into their sick and twisted mind and I had to set my Kindle aside at times and reset as they creeped me out so much!

The Nurse is a very well written, plotted and executed story that is a highly addictive read. I really enjoyed Allan’s style of storytelling and I look forward to reading more from her.
