The Inmate by Freida McFadden had me hooked from the first page. The story follows Gwen, a woman who is wrongfully convicted and sent to prison, where she quickly learns that the world behind bars is far more dangerous than she ever expected. As she battles to survive, Gwen starts uncovering chilling secrets that might just be her ticket to freedom.
McFadden does an excellent job of building suspense throughout the novel. The pacing is fast, and each chapter pulls you deeper into Gwen's fight for survival. The twists and turns kept me on edge, and just when I thought I had it all figured out, another surprise came along to turn everything upside down.
What really stood out to me was Gwen herself. She's a tough, relatable character who faces incredible odds, but her strength and determination make her journey incredibly compelling. The secondary characters add depth to the story, and the prison setting gives the book a gritty, tense atmosphere that felt real and intense.
Overall, The Inmate is a thrilling psychological ride that delivers constant suspense and unexpected twists. If you love dark, twisty thrillers with a strong, resilient protagonist, this one is a must-read.
