When Emma wakes up in the hospital, she doesn't remember much. All she is sure of is that someone tried to kill her, although she doesn't know who. As she tries to piece together her memories, she realizes that the information she is receiving from friends and family doesn't quite add up. A gripping thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.

“The hospital” follows our FMC Emma who wakes up in a hospital. She doesn’t remember what happened or why she’s there. She’s informed she has a case of amnesia along with being unable to move or see.

This book definitely has creepy claustrophobic vibes, being trapped without having vital information needed to keep yourself safe.

There’s a lot of suspicious characters who can’t be trusted, ex partners, jealous girlfriends, people who she can’t remember at all.

The mystery and the unknown definitely keep you reading. There are parts that felt a little predictable but overall I enjoyed this read!

This is my 2nd book by this author and I really enjoyed it. This was a great thriller that kept me intrigued throughout the book. Great characters and a great story. The ending was a complete shocker! I really enjoy this authors writing style. Definitely recommend! Thank you to NetGalley, Leslie Wolfe and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An excellent thriller! That twist at the end was crazy!!!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

This book had me gripped from the very first sentence! This book has all the elements you would expect from a psychological thriller and all the twists and turns you would expect from a mystery. And what a mystery it was. I thought I had the book figured out pretty early on, but once again I was completely wrong.

I have read a couple books by this author, but this may have the best one yet!

Thanks to #NetGalley and #Bookouture for the book #TheHospital by #LeslieWolfe. Emma remembers being attacked, someone trying to kill me. Now I wake up in the hospital and I can’t see one move. Why can’t I remember anything? Who tried to kill me. Am I really in a hospital? This books shows you what some people are capable of. I could not put this down.

I really enjoyed the psychological thriller element going on through this story, it had all the elements that I was expecting and enjoyed from the concept. The characters were realistic and worked with what I wanted from the genre. Leslie Wolfe has a great writing style and left me wanting to read more.

This book is quite .. interesting. The premise is good, however it didn't really suck me in the way I thought it would have.
Emma Duncan wakes up in a hospital after being brutally attacked. She is suffering from brain damage, making it difficult to recall much of anything as well as move. Her vision has also been damaged, leaving her partially blinded, albeit temporarily. As Emma starts to receive visitors, her memories slowly start coming back. She begins to piece things together and remembers what really happens.
This book was a unique one, for sure! The premise is great, however it wasn't the easiest read for me. Majority of the book seemed slow and repetitive. It doesn't really pick up until the end, and although it was shocking, it wasn't my favorite as far as psychological thrillers go.

Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture, and Leslie Wolfe for this ARC!

What a terrific psychological thriller! This is a must read. Don’t try to figure it out because you won’t succeed! One of this great authors best works!

I found the book interesting, a little confusing to begin with, many characters to keep track of, the plot of the story was good and enjoyable, I liked it and was able to keep up by the end of the book, I while the book,

The story of the stalker and Emma was interesting, I struggled with understanding who the stalker actually was and why they were keeping her blinded to begin with. I loved Jasmines character! The way she was towards Emma!

This is the second book of this author that I have tried to read and I have to say, although I love psychological thrillers this author is just not for me. I can’t connect with the characters and it just doesn’t grap my attention and draw me in. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t for other readers.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read early and post a review.

I’ve previously read the Surgeon by Leslie and loved it! So I was eager and excited to read The Hospital! The book is very well written. Lots of descriptive factors that really set the scene and allow readers to really imagine the setting. The book is easy to read and follow along. I felt the same frustration as Emma did throughout her journey.

The book begins with Emma who has been attacked and is now recovering. She has limited memory and slowly gains insight into the lead up of her attack. She’s visited by friends and nurses who take care of her, helping her jog her memory and make connections. Emma gets frustrated and questions her memory and eventually starts piecing everything together.

The first half of the book is slower paced as it gives readers the necessary information to understand Emma’s life prior to her attack. The second half is when the thriller portion of the book takes shape. This is where twists and turns occur and we find out the truth. While I predicted the outcome quite early on, it was a good read.

If you’re looking for a medical based thriller, this is a great option. As a nurse, I found it easy to follow along and understand the technical terms and drugs mentioned. If you’re less familiar it’s still easy to keep up and understand. If you’re looking for something less predictable and with more thriller intensity, this may fall short. Nonetheless, it’s a very well written book.

3 stars because I found it too predictable.

Great read! I thought I had every detail figured out by the middle of the book but I missed one detail! Thank you, NetGalley, for the opportunity to read and review The Hospital!

This book actually gave me the creeps. I almost didn’t want to read it at night because it freaked me out but it made it so enjoyable to actually feel that way while reading a thriller.

Emma wakes up in the “hospital” after being attacked with amnesia and unable to move or see. As time goes on, her memory comes back more and more, you don’t know who to trust. The ex husband who she doesn’t remember divorcing who has a new girlfriend? The ex boyfriend she can’t remember breaking up with? The other ex boyfriend?

I was intrigued reading this because I wanted to know what the heck was going on. Was a solid read!

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC.

A solid three stars from me!

The Hospital is my first read by Leslie Wolfe, but it certainly won’t be my last. While the first half is a bit of a slow burn, the second half unravels at breakneck speed, making you flip the pages until your fingertips are practically smoking. If you’re looking for a summer time popcorn thriller that is equal parts claustrophobic and engaging, give this one a try.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and Leslie Wolfe for the ARC of The Hospital in return for an honest review.
Emma wakes up in hospital after an attack, with little memory.
This entire book had me on the edge of my seat, I was an anxious mess reading it! I honestly had no idea where the story was going and I was loving the book.
I love books set in hospitals so this one was perfect! Going to be checking out other books by the author, as this was my first read of hers.

Emma has woken up in hospital, she has no memory of what has happened, and she’s blind, hopefully temporarily. Each time she wakes up, she’s having to try all over again with remembering things. Her arms and legs are numb and she has a major headache.

When Emma remembers she was attacked, she tries to remember who it was, but her memory isn’t working well at all.

As she starts to regain her memory, she realises things aren’t quite right and is determined to be able to get her arms and legs working again.

What a superb story this is, I also found it to be quite creepy too.

An intense read that I didn’t want to put down. The twists and turns were spectacularly clever and I doubted everything I was thinking!

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was a phenomenal read.
The beginning may have been a bit too descriptive, but it evens out with character development leaving you with an unputdownable book.
The main character Emma will leave you anxious about her predicament, reading faster to figure out who we trust and what happened that fateful night leaving her bedridden, blind and paralyzed…. The plot/ story line are wholly unique and jaw dropping. This book will give you all the emotions, scared, anxious, angry, longing, sad and happy.
I highly suggest this book to anyone looking for a fast paced, twisty thriller that keeps you guessing until the end.

Title: The Hospital by Leslie Wolfe
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Pub Date: May 24, 2024

⭐️ 4/5

✨️ Anterograde Amnesia
✨️ Domestic Thriller
✨️ Spousal Infidelity
✨️ Obsessive Stalker
✨️ Struggling Actress
✨️ Unreliable Narrator
✨️ Paranoia and Anxiety

➡️ SWIPE for GR synopsis

A struggling actress wakes up incapacitated in a hospital bed, unable to recall the events leading up to her hospitalization. Her memories come back sporadically, pieces aren't quite fitting, she isn't healing how she should, and she fears whoever put her here may come back to finish the job.

My Review:
I enjoyed the pacing, and although some things felt repetitive (because our FMC is blind and is using her hearing to "see"), I liked the writing style. The twist was unexpected, but I felt like the end was wrapped up a little too quickly, I would've liked a bit of epilogue. Overall, it is a great psychological/domestic thriller!

Thank you so much NetGalley and Bookouture for the digital review copy ❣️

Wow! What a ride

I don't think I've ever felt more anxious the entire way through a book. This is a claustrophobic, tense, psychological thriller that I absolutely raced through.

Emma is an actress who finds herself waking up in a hospital bed after a traumatic brain injury. She can only remember snippets from what happened but knows someone was trying to kill her.
Slowly, Emma remembers more about her life and we get clues along the way as to what happened or who was trying to hurt her.
The first half is a very slow burn, but I really enjoyed the pace and felt it really cranked up the unease and concern for Emma as it became harder to know who to trust.
It's a terrifying thought being completely reliant on strangers, unable to move or see and the author did an amazing job of portraying that fear. I certainly felt anxious throughout this read and couldn't put it down..
I've not read any of Leslie Wolfs book before but really want to go and check them out now!
