Welcome to Litsy!

Giving this one a try. In a mood of not knowing what I want to read, besides "Harlem Shuffle" which I am enjoying. Like to have a "real" book and a Kindle book going at the same time as I read the Kindle when I go to bed.....easier to hold in prone position. ? Besides I love thrillers and this promises to be a thrill.

After the gentle sleuthing of my last bk this was a punch in the stomach, the dark porter in a local micro brewery we found matching the very bloody theme.
Set in 1935 czhechoslovakia a yng psychiatrist goes to his job in a gothic castle asylum housing 6 of the worst killers in the country. His exploration of their psyche triggers terrible tales +secrets as a brutal monster stalks the Prague streets. Definitely avoid if squeamish.

I listened to this one while commuting to work. It kept my interest and was definitely unique!

53 of 2021. Pre-WWII Czechoslovakia. Viktor, a young Psychiatrist, accepts a position at the infamous Hrad Orlu Asylum to treat 6 of the most dangerous psychiatric patients known as the Devil‘s Six. He begins his experimental treatments on these patients, but may find more than he bargained for. Meanwhile, a serial killer is on the loose in Prague. These stories will weave together a horror thriller with a shocking ending. Loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Doing more research for #readingeurope2020, here books for the #CzechRepublic

Prague, 1935. Viktor Kosárek, psychiatrist and Jung devotee, begins a new job analyzing The Devil's Six, the most notorious serial killers of the day all locked up in the Hrad Orlu Asylum for the Criminally Insane. As his hypnotic treatments continue he discovers a shared thread amongst the inmates, but he gets more than he bargained for. Viktor's treatments seem to have awoken a sleeping evil who just may be the Devil himself.

I really want to read this book. #TBR

A psychological slow burn with a supernatural edge. I loved the pre-WWII backdrop and the overall atmosphere of Prague. The author did a really good job weaving the storylines of the psychiatrist and the police inspector together and I was not expecting the ending. It was a little slow but I had a hard time putting it down. This is what I wanted The Silent Patient to be! If you‘re looking for a Halloween read, try this.

I‘m taking a quick break from my back to work errands to start this book I won earlier this year.

Yet another busy week for my #BFC but hopefully I‘ll be less busy this upcoming week. I don‘t think I made my book goal but I did make a lot of headway with the tagged book. I‘ve fallen behind on my daily exercising but I did go to a concert this week and stood/danced/sweated my ass off for 4 1/2 hours so I‘m counting that as a workout 🤣 met my 3 meals a day goal and...I think that‘s it. I am adjusting my exercise goal since having a set 👇🏻

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I couldn't put this down! I liked the parallel storylines. The first follows a young psychiatrist, Viktor Kosárek, taking a position at Hrad Orlú Asylum for the Criminally Insane. We learn about the six inmates housed there, known as the Devil's Six, and are given each of their backstory's. The second storyline follows a police officer, Lukás Smolák, and his investigation into "Leather Apron," a Jack the Ripper copycat.
So good!!!!

Viktor is a psychiatrist in 1935 in the Czech Republic and he is starting a new job at an asylum for six prisoners that are very dangerous to society. He has new methods he wants to use on the prisoners. While he is inside the asylum working there is a dangerous killer of women called Leather Apron on the lose. Lukas is a police officer on the case looking for the killer.
This is a very intriguing novel. I really enjoyed this one!

Horror, mystery, historical, crime novel. The book encompasses all this. Right before the start of World War II, a serial killer is on the loose in Europe with ties to six psychos locked up in an insane asylum in Czechoslovakia. Each claims they are possessed by the devil. Are they? Think Silence if the Lambs meets The Exorcist in this suspenseful novel.

I‘ve been a big fan of the author‘s for the past seven years- and so I was really excited to read this (so much so that I got it twice- pre-ordered and approved on #NetGalley!). This standalone historical thriller set in #Czechoslovakia is absolutely great!! Fast-paced, intriguing characters and a twisty plot all combine to make this unputdownable! Can‘t wait to see what he writes next!!!

This was a creepy but very well executed psychological thriller that I read last month! Really interesting setting too - Czechoslovakia just before WW2. My full review is on my blog now!

I received an e-arc of this book through Netgalley. My review is my own honest opinion.

Wowzas!!!! This thriller/mystery was absolutely one of best I‘ve read in quite some time! I loved the writing and LOVED the story!! This releases in March and I highly recommend it! This will be a tough one to beat for me in 2019!

I love surprise book mail! I hadn‘t realized that I won a copy from a goodreads giveaway.
