Thank you to NetGalley, Cara Reinard and Bookouture for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This definitely was a different type of thriller than I’ve been reading lately. More slow burn with quite a build up of tension and wondering what is going to go wrong next. I really enjoyed it nonetheless.

Emily is an embryologist at a fertility clinic. Due to cancer she is unable to conceive so she works to give others the chance. She has frozen her eggs just in case! When her old boyfriend Ben comes in with his wife Ally it comes as a shock. Although she broke up with him she has never quite got over him. Ally has moved back to Ben's hometown as he has just got a teaching job there & she is not settling well. She has had four miscarriages & is desperate for this to work. The story is told from the perspectives of the two women.

I found this book somewhat predictable & the characters were all pretty dislikeable. I had to read to the end to see if my guesses were correct but overall it wasn't a particularly good fit for me. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

This was my first book by this author & I will definitely be looking forward to reading more of her books!!!!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm pretty sure I finished it in record time. I don't think I read anything even remotely similar which is always a plus because suspense books can sound so much alike. I was really curious where the author was taking this book. Unfortunately, I got to the ending and was a bit let down. I feel that this book could have been a home run but it fell flat. I'd say read this book if you want to experience something "different" and don't have triggers in regards to conceiving and miscarriages. Be prepared for an ending that doesn't satisfy.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! This book had me clenching my Kindle and turning the pages so fast! Some parts were slow but for the most part it was a great book! Some people who struggle with IVF may have a hard time reading so approach with caution.

This was a wild thriller and kinda hoping for a sequel.

This thriller has some twists and turns and will keep you wanting more. I could never imagine working in a fertility clinic and my next patient being my ex who the MC is clearly not over.

This was the type of thriller that kept me saying wtf and omg through out reading. Highly recommend

Emily and Ally both love the same man and both want a baby. Emily works in a fertility clinic. What could possibly go wrong! The story was well plotted and revelations felt well-paced.

My favourite quote:

“This momma’s claws are coming out way before the cub."

Secrets presided over the characters in this addictive #psychologicalthriller that kept me quickly reading until the exciting end. I enjoyed this latest book by the clever #CaraReinard.

Thank you, Cara Reinard, Bookouture, Sarah Hardy, & netgalley for my gifted early copy! All opinions are my own.

The Clinic by Cara Reinard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Holy mother of plot twists. I wasn’t expecting this story to be this twisty! I really enjoyed the morally grey characters and lies/drama this story entailed.

Emily works in a lab helping those who struggle with fertility issues. Her ex, Ben, turns out to be a new patient at the clinic. Ben helped her cover up a crime and now she feels she owes him. Emilys desperate to help him and his wife conceive a child, no matter what it takes

Thank you so much @netgalley Netgalley for giving me this super interesting, bio-infused psychological thriller 🤯🤯 @carareinard it was an amazing read!

Emily is a hard-career driven doctor who left her long term boyfriend,Ben to become a surgical doctor and when she comes across a case of IVF couple , is none other than her ex-boyfriend and his extreme religious wife, Ally.

Being from a science field myself, I felt and understood the process extremely well and the mind tricks played for the development of Emily's Character is extremely great and well written. Ally's character showed the perfect dual nature of hers.
I loved the guessing till the end...but felt a bit dragged at places....overall it was a extremely great read 😁

The Clinic by Cara Reinard was a book that will keep you on your toes. Emily used to have it all and her ex-boyfriend were madly in love and dreamed of starting a family. Then Bang! she found out I couldn’t have children, it broke me.
Now, Emily works in a IVF clinic and she is the country’s most trusted physician. she loves her job at the fertility clinic, and loves giving other couples what she could never have. A child..........But then one day Emily's ex and his new wife walk into my clinic, her heart shatters into small pieces all over again.

But, he’s back. Now, Emily stands there with a syringe trembling in her hand and an impossible decision to help her to have a child of their own! WoW!!!

What would you do?

Emily wanted a baby so bad with him it hurts. Especially as ex knows the dark secrets that haunt her past and these need to remain hidden!…......but has he underestimated how far she will go to get the child she has always dreamed of?

Wow this book was so good I ended up reading it all day, it was so hard to put it down.

I highly recommend it

Big Thank you to NetGalley and especially Bookouture for my Arc.

The Clinic by Cara Reinard.
This was a good read. I liked the cover and blurb of this book. The chapters go between Emily and Ally. I wasn't sure how I felt about the characters. Everyone in my mind was guilty of something. I really thought I knew what was going to happen. Very twisty. I certainly didn't see that coming. That was very surprising.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

While I would not necessarily consider this to be a psychological thriller in my POV, it did have suspense but felt domestic to me.

This was my 1st book by this author but I was intrigued by the blurb. I understand the reasons behind needing so much fertility talk in the book, it just seemed like too much at times. Also there was a lot of background things that felt off at times. Over all i enjoyed the story and it was just a book to pass the time. I will check out more by this author because she did have good writing.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW.

Well done Cara on an yet another absolutely tension packed and page turning thriller!!!

AN ABSOLUTELY UNPUTDOWNABLE, TENSION FILLED AND SUSPENSEFUL BOOK THAT WILL KEEP YOU UP LATE AT NIGHT UNTIL YOU TURN THE LAST PAGE!! ANOTHER HUGE SUCCESS BY THIS INCREDIBLE AUTHOR!!

Wow!!! This book is fantastically written and had me hook, line and sinker from beginning to end. The descriptions were so in depth and vivid that the hair on my arms was standing on the ends and my heart was pounding throughout. The synopsis, title and cover were perfect for the storyline.

YEet ANOTHER HUGE success by the extremely talented Cara Reinard!! I have loved every book I have read by this incredible author and I absolutely loved this unique page turning explosive page turner. I was absolutely absorbed throughout this suspense filled thriller. It is filled with tension, drama, family, suspense, lies, heartache , secrets, decisions and omg the ending!!! It literally has absolutely everything you could ask for in a psychological thriller and much MUCH moreI DID NOT see the twists coming at all!!! Just when I think everything had been worked out and things were settling down BOOM came shocking ending!! A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS Cara!! It is getting harder and harder to shock me but by God you did that over and over and over!!! What an ending!!! One of the most gripping unputdownable psychological books I have read this year!!! You have one hell of a talent and I cannot wait to get hold of your previous and future books. I cannot remember the last time I was so hooked by a book but you managed that big time!!! I loved that the book is told from different perspectives and each of their stories/chapters were perfectly weaved together to show us everything that is going on and how each of the characters are thinking and feeling throughout. It also also multiple timelines so you can see what has happened previously which helps the reader to get an even bigger picture of what is going on but without giving too much away. The storyline is filled with shocks, suspense, tension, deceit, and everything you could ask for in a gripping thriller!!. There was so much going on and it was very fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Cara's fantastic evocative descriptions ensures you are completely absorbed into the storyline with the characters coming to life all around you! This book is absolutely addictive and I read it in one sitting. I absolutely loved the explosive ending that leaves you wanting more! It kept me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails with my heart absolutely pounding throughout especially at the end! I really am looking forward to the next book by this extremely talented author. A gripping, all consuming addictive page turner!!!

Clear your schedule before you start as I read this in one sitting as I could not put it down!! Practically every chapter ended on a cliff hanger so no way could I put it down!! Absolutely hooked!! I would absolutely love to see this turned into a movie!!!!

The characters were all strong and realistic and thanks to Cara's absolutely fantastic writing skills they all come to life when you are turning the pages. My heart went out to Emily although at others she did annoy me. All of the characters were realistic, each with their own personalities, weaknesses and flaws. There were times where I liked, disliked and couldn't start he characters at different points but I won't say who made me feel what as I don't want to give anything away. Now, normally when I dislike a character I struggle to enjoy the storyline but with Cara's fantastic writing skills she has managed to put extremely unlikeable characters in such a fantastic storyline that you can't help but be addicted to the book regardless of how you feel!!! I will stop here as I will give too much away if I say anymore and I really don't want to spoil it for future readers so I wont say anything else and let other readers make their own minds up about how they feel about the characters.. Regardless of whether you love or hate the characters they all worked perfectly together to make this an addictive and gripping storyline!!

Overall a suspense filled, unputdownable and addictive page turning thriller!!

The Clinic by Cara Reinard, when the book starts, we meet Emma. She’s an embryologist, single and a breast cancer survivor celebrating her 35th birthday. Despite the fact that she helps others grow their family. She has yet to do it for herself. When she finds out her ex Ben is coming back to Pennsylvania, the last place she thought she would see him is that her work with his wife. To make matters worse this is the couple she supposed to tell the clinic cannot help them but after coming face-to-face with Allison before Emma knows it she is agreeing to help. knowing her ex been in his wife could possibly become pregnant. She in no way wants it to be before she herself has a baby. She froze eggs years ago before her cancer treatment and decides now is a good time to fertilize them. so on the same day, Allison has her egg retrieval, Emma is also going to fertilize her eggs, but when things don’t turn out the way anyone wanted and do to Emma’s saying something she had no right to say she finds herself in an impossible situation and puts her job on the line to fix it. While all this is going on, Allison is having an emotional affair with someone named Sebastian due to being miserable in Pennsylvania, she talks about running away with him. Emma is also having an emotional affair of sorts with her neighbor Jasper, who is married to and has a daughter with an unstable and abusive alcoholic. so much is happening and soon after both the pregnancy test come in then Allison goes missing and no matter where they search she cannot be found. everyone fears for Allison but no one more than Emma. This is why she takes it upon herself to go and search of her exes wife. I know this is a long review, but there is so much to this book. It seems like the authors books more and more every time she puts out a new book it seems better than the last one and this one is a doozy. I highly recommend this book, if you love thrillers and want to see how someone can create a catastrophe and then wiggled their way out. You definitely need to read this book. I mean wow what a thriller! #NetGalley,#Bookoucher, #CaraRinard, #TheClinic,

Big thanks to Bookouture for a copy on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The Clinic is a simmer read.
Just going through its motions without much excitement.
There’s no real shocks and it’s kind of predictable.
Emily works in a IVF clinic.
She is the country’s most trusted physician.
Her ex boyfriend and new wife come in for treatment.
Emily makes a decision that alters everyone’s life.
A decision that will completely destroy the lives of many……
A tale that comes across as not very thrilling.
The plot is easy to foretell, the characters are moderate and twists could have been turned up a notch.
On the positive side it was a fast paced story and a quick read.

This is my first book by this author, but won't be my last. I loved the plot of this book as it is very personal to me. Loved the twists and turns. Will read more by this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC of the book.

I opted to give this a 4 star even though it was a bit closer to 3-3/4 star for me due to some things that were just a bit too unbelievable. It was easy to read, but a lot of the background story seemed far fetched. So many characters making bad decisions.

It brings readers into the dark, morally complex world of fertility treatments, I will say some of the story felt like it dragged a bit and some places. It sometimes bogs down but ultimately adds layers to their characters.

Short chapters mean you just have to read one more ! A sensitive subject dealt with sympathetically made this a book well worth reading.

I liked it. Short chapters with clearly identified POV and timeline make following the story easy. It’s a quick read that will have you reflecting on the choices that advances in Science have afforded us.
The premise of story deals with some sensitive subject matter (IVF, genetic selection, assisted suicide) that might be triggering for some readers.
Thank You to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Cara Reinard for the opportunity to read this ARC.
