Book Review: "Lock Me In" By Kate Simants

There has been much discussion on DID (Disassociative Identity Disorder) and Mental Illness and this book brings them both to light in our main character Ellie.

Ellie also suffers from a sleep disorder and it's so debilitating her mother must lock her in her bedroom at night to prevent further injury to self and others.


One person whose always assisted Ellie was Matt but now Matt is gone without a trace after Ellie finds herself injured w/o memory of the nights events.


Dr. Cox seems to want to help yet we know from past experiences not all who claim to help are there for the right reasons.


We also know that his secretary Samira is a wee bit shady in spots so there's a warning flag being attached here as psychotherapy is underway.


During the sessions it appears Siggy is the go to alter ego that's been haunting Ellie for years along with this recurring image of a young boy.


As the story progresses we learn the story behind that young boy and his tragic death.
We also learn that Ellie may not be suffering as much as we once presumed and perhaps she's simply surrounding by toxic individuals who are out for more sinister reasons.


This is a thriller of mass proportion so run don't walk to get a copy as soon as you can.


Thank you to Kate, the publisher, NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
