Psychological āIt's impossible, I think, to save everyone, but if we help even one person in our lifetime, then we succeeded.ā ā Chevy Stevens, Always Watching I just could not get into it. Of all Chevy Stevens books that I have read so far, this is my least favorite. SPOILERS: Cults make for a very interesting subject but this story I could not get into. I thought parts of it were predictable and also the main character..Nadine..spoke very clinically and I could not immerse myself although I sure tried. Then it became very predictable and a little to out there for me. Or maybe I have just seen to many movies and read to many books about cults. For whatever reason this is the one book so far by Stevens that I have given less then a 3 to. I just could not become involved. Dr. Nadine Lavoie practices psychiatry in a hospital unit. However, being a psychiatrist doesn't keep her from difficulties in dealing with her own personal and family issues. Her husband died and she is still trying to deal with his death, her daughter is addicted to drugs and lives on the street, and Nadine's relationship with her brother has become distant. Adding to all of these, one of Nadine's patients commits suicide. That patient, Heather, recently lived in a commune with her husband and since leaving the commune she had become fearful and felt that she was being watched. Nadine lived in a commune with her mother and brother when she was a young girl. Coincidentally, both communes shared the same leader. Nadine is plagued by bad memories of that time. And she has buried them deep in her subconscious. During the counseling with Heather, Nadine begins to resurrect those memories. And remembering leads her on a mission to find out about her own past and to expose the leader of the commune. The book is not a page-turner as compared to other books by Stevens. The plot and characters were just enough to keep me interested. However, I'm glad I kept reading because Stevens did escalate the plot as the book reached its conclusion. no reviews | add a review
