I'd say this is closer to 2.5 stars.
Some difficult subject matter--if descriptions of animal torture for science are not good for you, don't read this book. There's one line in the book that I thought made a lot of sense--in some cases, we can overlook the torturing of humans (such as prisoners at Guantanamo) because we have a sense that they have done something or many things wrong and that they somewhat deserve it. Animals, on the other hand, are innocent of wrongdoing so it is more difficult to stomach. Interesting.

Anyway--overall this book is intriguing. Lots of good twists, I thought I had it figured out and then another twist was thrown my way (although I had most of it figured out). The ending is a bit ambiguous, probably for a reason, but I like my endings tied up in a neater way.

I absolutely loved this book. There were so many twists and turns that I had no idea what to believe nor could I figure out the ending. This was by far one of the best psychological thrillers I have read. I hope Monroe writes many more books.

I really wanted to like this book, and more important I really want to read this novel.. I tried reading the book, eBook or audio and each time I gave up, This book just did not hook me. I think I am going to stop trying to read it before I start to resent it, lol. Thank you for the opportunity to read this.

Slow, slow, slow. I could never get into this one. The bouncing around time frames completely halted flow of the story. And the ending and switch to what was actually going on came out of nowhere and not in a good way.

Find Me is a great psychological thriller! I don’t want to give any more detail than what is provided in the blurb, but I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found Monroe’s take on this premise to be quite captivating. I was completely fascinated with the conspiracy theories and psychological references that he included within the story. Nothing was as I expected it to be and had me guessing the entire way through.

A man believes his girlfriend is alive after suffering from post bereavement hallucinations in this psychological thriller. I thought the beginning of this book was ok but then out of nowhere it got weird and bought torture and porn into the plotline and I thought it was inappropriate. The book was well written and if you don't mind graphic scenes this may not bother you.

Though this novel's subject was not to my taste, it was extremely well written, hence the 4 stars. The premise was intriguing and the author kept the promise of the premise. The story got quite graphic and quite heavy at times. The pacing was tight and fast, the tension mounts to the climax. If you don't mind exploring the darker side of things, this well crafted suspense thriller would be a good choice.

Great book. Excellent storyline and wonderful main characters. I would highly recommend this book.

I had a very hard time with this book. To me it was hard to follow the story line and I just could not get hooked into the book

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Find Me is that the reader is going to be surprised and confused as the story twists and turns.

From description: Jarlath "Jar" Costello's girlfriend, Rosa, committed suicide when they were both students at Cambridge, and Jar has thought about her every day since. It's been five years, yet Jar is still obsessed with the idea that Rosa, the one true love of his life, is alive. He's tormented by visions of her and has disturbingly real sightings of her in unexpected places experiences the psychologist treating him describes as "post-bereavement hallucinations."


Is Rosa alive? Is the entire plot a wish fulfillment dream of Jar's? Is it a novel within a novel?

Told partly from Jar's pov, partly from Rosa's, partly from diary entries, and partly from a third party, Monroe keeps the reader forming theories, then tossing in a little surprise or two that will modify those theories. Jar isn't sure whom to trust and struggles with separating the "post-bereavement hallucinations" he knows are not real and the sightings of Rosa that he believes are genuine. "It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you." A tangled, twisty tale.

Jar has never gotten over the death of his girlfriend, Rosa when they were in college. It's impossible for him to accept the fact that she committed suicide, and in the years since her death, Jar is convinced he's seen her here and there. Rosa's aunt gives him a copy of Rosa's diary and Jar uses it to try to prove that Rosa's death was no suicide, but his trip inside Rosa's diary and inside her mind take him on a journey that will either prove he was right - or that he is losing his mind. Monroe's use of a male protagonist makes this fantastic thriller unique in the world of female dominated characters
