House of Bathory

Solid historical thriller.

This story weaves together a retelling of the story of the Blood Countess Bathory with a present day thriller about a young psychiatric patient and her doctor. Daisy Hart is the teenage patient suffering from nightmares that cause her to wake up choking. Betsy Path is the psychiatrist treating her. But there is a deeper connection between the two the Betsy realizes and very soon they are both in great danger.

I give this book 3.5 stars. it started and ended strong but there were some passing and story issues in the middle that frustrated me. The frustration was not enough to make me stop reading and I'm glad of that. The end of the book was fast paced and I couldn't put the book down!
