April 4, 2025 OMG This is another one of those books that I would read in a heartbeat. I am no psychiatrist but I do love reading thrillers so yeah. No regrets. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

April 4, 2025 Dang. So much has happened since the previous post. I thought Will was the dangerous one and lying to Amy. The dangerous one is actually two people: Damon Sawyer and Jade. They are the couple and they were the ones in charge of killing Mary, Cameron, the real Dr. Beck, and Ramona (the real nurse). Nicole was a stand-in and third wheel who just followed Damon Sawyer around and did what Jade and him told her to do. Shivers am i right?

April 4, 2025 News flash! On page 206, we find out more about Jade and who her boyfriend is. Any guesses? I for sure did not think anything about it until I read the last fee sentences but it all makes sense. She got upset when Amy had told Dr. Beck that Will did not take his pills. She seemed like she cared so much about Will. But why? Because Will is her boyfriend and they both entered the facility at the same time. Mystery solved.

April 4, 2025 On pages 156-157, Amy shares with Dr. Beck some of her concerns. One is of Will Schoenfeld. Another is of Cameron. sigh Cameron. When she goes to check on Will, she finds out that he has been hiding his pills in his book, which only means that he has not been taking his medications to help himself get better. He is suspicious of Amy but does not say anything. She then asks about Cameron. Ramona found a note that he had an emergency.

April 4, 2025 So the red stuff thag Miguel is covered in is actually not blood; it's strawberry jelly. Phew. If it were blood i would hella scared and think that Damon Sawyer tried to kill him. It has been mentioned multiple times already that Damon Sawyer is out to kill everyone. Is this true? And WHERE is Cameron?? He still has not shown up after all the yelling Miguel did (related to wanting to leave)

April 4, 2025 Chapter 22! Im am terrified right now because I have read a lot about Amy but not a lot about Cameron, her ex-boyfriend. Is Cameron alright? Amy has been visiting different patients on Ward D. She visited Mary Cummings and her old friend Jade Carpenter. But suddenly the lights went out and Miguel, one of the patients, comes out covered in blood... naked too. What happened?

April 3, 2025 Im on Chapter 5 and things are going down. Amy is supposed to work in Ward D as a psychiatrist but she does not want to be that She'd rather be ANYTHING but that. She remembers her best friend Jade Carpenter and how she use to be so kind. Then an off switch turned her into somebody entirely different. What will happen next? *Spooky and chills* haha (not really however that is how I feel when I read her books)

I thought I had this one all figured out. (I didn‘t)

A low pick for me, but nonetheless still a quick and easy read. Amy,a medical student gets locked in Ward D overnight as part of her training. She has a passcode to get out if anything goes wrong so it can‘t be that bad right? If you know mcfadden style, you know everything goes wrong. I really didn‘t figure this one out until the reveal point so kudos to Mcfadden for stumping me again.

The twist queen.

I flew through this. It took a bit of getting into, but when the plot started to gel, I was hooked. The twist was brilliant.

⭐️⭐️.5 Another day another Freida. I found Ward D to be pretty silly. Did it stop me from enjoying it? Not really. But this is one I will def find forgettable. I think it‘s Freida #4??? 🤔

It was pretty good. This one was very predictable

Pretty good, but a little boring in the middle. twisty at the end but I predicted it. 7/10

This was a good, suspenseful Freida McFadden thriller with its twists and turns! Amy is a medical student who will be in a psychiatric ward for one night. What happens will thrill and shock you! This audiobook was a great listen & it went by quickly! I hope you enjoy it!

So far, just OK. Not much character development, so she expects me to be interested in a person named Jade, though the only details of jade are that her parents are messy/negligent and she smokes weed behind school. Describes like 90% of the population lol. Give me some deets to either root for, or hate the girl before you start prattling on about her

Creepy!! 😱😱

Listening to this. Im at 75%. Its so good.

When you are a true reader and usually read on average 6 books a month then you start a wonderful relationship with a man you had only thought existed in said books you read sure puts a hurting on your reading. Freida will help me bump this number a little quicker. #13of2024

4/11/2024 completed less than a week! Lol if I had more time to read would have finished sooner!!! ❤️her books!! Keep them coming!

Oh Freida. You are a masterful twister of plots, but you don‘t have to twist EVERYTHING. Somethings should just be left as is. This book started out with some eye rolls. Then things were explained. Then she wrecked them anyways. Not my fave Frieda book. But, I enjoy few things more than a creepy psych ward!

Freida had me up until 3am finishing this book in a day. Such a stressful read and makes me know I could never work in a psych unit!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Finished my weekend read with coffee this morning! McFadden never disappoints..so freaking good😱

4.75⭐
Wow! I couldn't put this down! I read it in 2 days and immediately ordered McFadden's backlist 😂😁
A true popcorn thriller. At about the 75% mark I did figure out what was going on and had even suspected it earlier in the book but there were enough surprises going on that it kept the excitement going. Can't wait to read more by Freida.

Flying through this book as fast as I flew through this puzzle. I don't care what people say about Freida. Her books (and characters lol) may be basic, but her fast-paced stories have a way of reeling me in. I can't seem to put any of her books down once I start.

This one is a psych ward thriller 🤹‍♀️

I love this author but this one just didn‘t work. I‘m a therapist and I found the lack of information and lack of empathy for people who deal with mental illness to be appalling, insensitive, misinformed and just wrong. Besides that the plot was just too implausible for me to even keep interested.
⭐️⭐️

Starting Spooky Season #wardd #freidamcfadden #spookyseason

I mean… I don‘t see the problem. 😜

This was the most chilling McFadden book I've read to date. I was at the edge of my seat the entire read. This is a MUST for all McFadden fans!

A little Freida with my favorite reading company.💙💗💙

Medical student Amy Brenner is spending the night on a locked psychiatric ward. Amy has been dreading her evening working on Ward D, the hospital‘s inpatient mental health unit. There are very specific reasons why she never wanted to do this required overnight rotation. Reasons nobody can ever find out.

🎧 This was a fun creepy FICTIONAL book. I LOVED IT. I read it in a day. I didn‘t like the MC! I still loved the story. The twists were great. I didn‘t see some coming. Fun! Compelling! Engagingly spooky. At least one of the reveals was DOH worthy! It was the book I needed when I listened to it. TW - mental health a bit misrepresented.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don‘t let my opinion sway you… if this is your first Freida McFadden book please be sure to read another one. This is not my favorite of hers, I am truly surprised! I would give it 3 stars. It was repetitive and for the most part unbelievable and far fetched. It was slow starting out and then the ending felt rushed. Amy, a medical student has a night shift on a locked psychiatric unit. What could possibly go wrong?! Can anyone be trusted?!

#SundayFunday

Repetitiveness 😫

I have lost count of how many “peach iced teas” this character has had!! 😳🙄

Stating this one tonight! Creepy already!! 🖤
