His untimely death while on vacation to one of the Greece Isles, leaves Mariana wondering if she has offended Persephone some how. In The Maidens, raised in Greece and now working in London, Mariana is a group therapist who is struggling after the death of her husband Sebastian. However, the premise of his sophomore novel The Maiden’s is completely alluring and I was so excited when Celadon reached out with the offer to read an advanced copy. I enjoyed it as you can see here in my REVIEW, but it was no Verity and it’s not a book I recommend very often. This one will keep you guessing and you could never predict what happens in the end.Alex Michaelides’ first novel The Silent Patient was a New York Times bestseller when it released in 2019. I highly recommend this book if you like mysteries. Through Theo’s narration and Alicia’s diary entries, Alex creates a suspicious and hair-raising atmosphere throughout the book only to get that final mind-blowing twist at the end which literally made me shut the book for a while to make myself calmer, for my excitement was on peak. Each time I thought I had figured it out, a new door opened leading me to a completely different conclusion. We’re all crazy, I beleive, just in different ways.
