There is nothing better than a psychological thriller with a twist. Doctor Aria De Luca, fresh from a patient suicide and an impending divorce, finds herself called to a new case that pushes her to the limits. This was a thriller that takes you for a wild ride of mystery, suspicion, jealousy, and lies. This was written so well that I even started questioning my own thoughts and suspicions. If you like a books with so many twists that your head will spin, this is the book for you.

What a story! I found myself completely hooked. I was taken by surprise many times. This author weaved such a dark mysterious story that I was kept at the edge of my seat. There are a few twists and turns which made me rethink everything I was thinking. This book will be sticking with me for a long time. This is one of those books that I know I will be reading again. I will definitely be reading more books by this author. I highly recommend this book.

Now here is a psychological Thriller you won’t ever want to put down.

Aria, the main character is struggling after the suicide of a patient and a divorce from her husband she just can’t pull it together. She takes a leave of absence from her career but then finds herself on a murder case that ends up causing questioning everything thinks and feels.

A story about control, obtaining it, relinquishing it, obsession, jealousy and absolutely compelling mind games. You’ll think you got it figured out and she will make you question everything all over again.

I enjoy being hook line and sinker stuck in a book, fascinated by the characters and questioning things I thought I knew and this author delivered in this dark twisted Thriller. Don’t start this book until you have time to read it as once you are hooked you can’t put it down!

There is just so much to this book, so many layers to unravel! Black Canvas is full of mind games that keep you guessing, deception, and control (or lack thereof!). I would read some parts and think “oh my gosh, I know where this is going” and then a bit later, be shocked to see that I was totally wrong. You will not guess this one. It is darker and more twisted than most of the things I have read recently, but in a train wreck you can’t look away from sort of way. It catches you unaware, and you cannot help but continue to the next page, and then the next chapter….It does start a little slow and confusing but once you get into the meat and potatoes of the platter, things go straight to the psychological complexities. Without giving anything away, I loved the use of the mask in this book. The physical use of hiding behind it, and the psychology of being able to be whoever you want to be, and still be “unseen” was such a fun concept. This book is for anyone that likes to keep guessing, and still be in for a surprise. My only complaint with this book is that I finished it in 3 days LOL. Well written and well researched!

Just when I thought I knew what was going on and what would happen, I was thrown for a loop. This book needs to be read with no interruptions as it just holds you between the pages and keeps you there. I really enjoyed this.book and will be reading so much more from this author!

One woman is trying her hardest to be another and become everything she thinks he needs, while he keeps returning to her, his wife, while she is stuck being the other woman. She looks at herself in the mirror everyday, but all she sees is her, her face, her hair, her life, she is in control as she bends herself to fit inside this image, to keep the secret that it is her on the outside, but she is on the inside and it is this which makes this woman feel in control, but is she really in control, or is it just an illusion?

This is a psychological thriller which will make you think, it will make you question everything you know about what is happening and why, it will keep you on your toes while you try and figure out what is real, what is memories and what is fantasy.

Black Canvas by Laura Rossi is one of the best books I have read this year. I love a good psychological thriller and this book absolutely delivers! Being in the mind of the main character Aria is a little frustrating at times. I wanted more and better for her than she was accepting for herself, but I couldn’t help but love her and root for her. There are so many great twists and turns and an ending that did not suspect. I was surprised at how satisfied I was with this ending because it was one I would never normally accept but I loved it. Looking forward to reading more from this author!

I was hooked from the first page! My mind kept guessing on what would happen next, and I could never pinpoint it right. I don’t think you can guess the end right. Not being able to figure out the end is one of my favorite things to read. This one didn’t disappoint. This is very well written and I think if you like the dark thrillers then this is for you! I loved it, one of my favorite reads of the year!

This was a captivating and gripping psychological thriller which had me hooked from start to finish. The dark storyline had me intrigued from the beginning and the plot twists and turns kept me guessing until the very last page. This was a real page turner of a novel which had me reading well into the night, as I just couldn’t put the book down. The wonderfully written narrative made the characters and the setting come vividly alive, making me feel completely immersed in the story. I felt especially engaged with the main character, Aria and she really brought the whole story together for me. This was an exciting read with an original storyline, which stayed with me long after I had finished it.

I have no words to describe what I was feeling while reading this book then when I finished. I was in awe of the writing, it was an open the book and forgetting you exist outside of it kind of book! I read it in 2 sittings and although I had a small problem connecting with Aria at first, I enjoyed every second of this read. As you read you can start to feel the building of the why in this story. Why Aria is Aria, why the spiraling loss of control.

I love books that have jaw dropping twists that you don’t see coming. This one had that in spades. Perfectly placed twists! I still don’t have my thoughts straight so writing this review is not easy. I 100% loved this book. I love this genre and reading ones that are written like this make me love it even more!

This is my first read by this author and I’m blown away. I already have her page up so that I can read even more. I love the style, I love the way she handles character dialogue and my favorite is that I truly got lost in this book. I already want to read it again, and will soon!

I have added this author to my watchlist and can’t wait to read more!!

LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!

I want to start this off by saying this does have triggers and brought out feelings in me that while making me uncomfortable, shows the true talent of this author.
This deals with very sensitive subjects and shapes our main character and effects her in her daily life.

Black Canvas is a fast paced Dark Psychological Thriller that wasn’t anything at all what I expected it to be. I was drawn in by the cover and I just had to know more. Holy Cow what a thrilling ride this author took us on. I caught myself literally gripping my kindle while on the edge of my seat trying to figure everything out. This is a fairly new author to me and we are off to a great start ,I can’t wait to read more books by this author. This is a well written story and the characters make the story feel so real and engaging at the same time. I had a hard time putting it down . If you like psychological thrillers that keep you guessing till the end then I highly recommend reading this book. I can’t wait for what she brings us next.

Talk about plot twist! Aria is a very interesting character with an interesting story. I really connected with the psychological aspects of this book, the human mind is a mysterious thing. I feel that the author was able to expose just how twisted and unpredictable our minds can work. Ivy was my favorite character, someone who knew what she wanted and was willing to do what it took to get it regardless of what others thought of her. Great story! Highly recommend!!

Okay, this book was amazing. I have never read a book in this genre before and gave it a chance because I’m trying to expand what I read. I would recommend this book to anybody and everybody. I didn’t expect the ending that I did. You can’t guess the ending in this book, and I think that is part of the reason why I loved this book because I’m not a fan of books where you can guess the ending. I couldn’t put it down at all.

When on the outside you are a professional, strong woman trying to help the police in an investigation but secretly your world is falling apart and spiralling away from you.

Aria’s world seems stable from the outside but as she is brought in for her expertise with a woman who has been found wondering, so delves and self diagnoses herself trying to banish the demons in her head but can she help both of them.

This is the first book I have read by this author and oh whoa was a book, this book is a real mind bend and you are left thinking and absorbing what you have read for a few days after. The writing is brilliant and the story twists through the life of Dr Aria De Luca, with her narrative from inside her head this is a fascinating read.

The way the story is written you as the read are a character in the book, wondering through the narrative and drawing you own conclusions through the complex twists and turns. I really can’t wait to read more books by this wonderful author and recommend whole heartily this book to people who love a good phycological thriller.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but let me tell you- this book is absolutely ASTOUNDING. From the get-go, she pulls you into the world of Aria, and you can’t help but just dive in. She does a wonderful job showing the traumas of these women, artistically describing the pain and the beauty as she weaves this story together. Once you think you have it figured out- it changes on you and challenges you to keep up with Aria and her world. If you enjoy thrillers and crime, this is the book for you. I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store with her other books.

Black Canvas had me hooked fast! I couldn’t put this book down. Laura Rossi does an amazing job building her characters, setting the scenes just right, and making you question everything you thought was real! I love psychological and crime books and Black Canvas gets a high ranking on my list of great ones! The characters are so realistic and relatable and the emotions felt by the characters are felt by the reader as well. Your pulse quickens with the anxiety of anticipation, you hold your breath waiting for the next plot twist, and in the end, want to read it all over again because you find yourself wondering what the heck you just read! This book stuck with me far after the last sentence was read. I kept replaying the events in the book and wondering if there was anything I missed, some subtle clue as to the true nature of the characters. This is definitely a book I would read again and recommend to others!

I honestly have no idea what to say about this book. I am in awe. From start to finish you are taken on a dark ride full of suspense, mystery, darkness.

The main character, Aria, is a psychiatrist who had lost a patient named Ivy a few weeks back. She decided to take time off of work to grieve. A girl named Claudia was found and instantly Aria was attracted to her story. Aria dove into her case causing a lot of previous stuff to come up.

Aria is still trying to figure out what went wrong with her previous patient while also trying to figure out her new patient. Both Ivy and Claudia’s story are very similar to each other so Aria is trying to figure out why and how they are connected.

The author did an amazing job getting into people minds and staying there. With huge plot twists around every corner, it kept me guessing from the first to last page.

Black Canvas by Laura Rossi – Review by Allyson Ware

This novel was written so well. The character development is outstanding. The suspense killed me from the first page to the end of the book. I truly felt as if I were Aria/Ivy, or living inside of her head trying to figure out what is actually going on. Definitely a must read if you enjoy psychological thrillers.

From a psychological standpoint, the author did a great job interpreting mental health and the effects of it from that persons point of view. I am no expert in regard to Bipolar Personality Disorder, but I love that it was depicted in a Doctor’s point of view because that is the reality, right? No one can escape the effects of mental health, and that includes people that have PhD’s.

Wow. I honestly don’t know how to feel about this book. It dives so deep into the mind that it’s shocking to see the layers unfold. I’ve always loved psychological thrillers because of the twists and turns they take you through, and this book is no disappointment there. We all wear masks and have different versions of ourselves, and this story explores that with frightening depth and weaves a tale that is absolutely stunning. The characters, the internal thoughts, the dialogue – all of it is so intriguing, it’s hard to step away from and also keeps you pondering long after you’ve read the last word. Brilliant piece of work.

This is the first book that I’ve read by this author, but it certainly won’t be the last! I’ve read many psychological thrillers this year and this has got to be one of my favorites. Every time I put the book down I couldn’t stop thinking about when I would get the chance to read it next. All of the characters were so well written, making you feel as if you were the characters themselves. There were also many times I found myself questioning what I knew to be true and what to be false, and up until the very end I had no idea how the story would come to it’s conclusion! This story is perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, both of which used to be two of my favorite thrillers but may now not be because of this book and others which I’ve read this year. I’m definitely excited to read more by this author!

What a read!! At first with everything going on you get really wrapped up into the story. Psychology at its finest. You think you know what’s going on and about half way through all the way to the end your mind gets blown. Beautifully written, suspenseful, page turning thriller, attention grabbing, and just all around a great read. I can’t wait to read more from Laura Rossi

The human mind and its ability to control have always fascinated me. How it can convince you fantasy is reality. How it can shelter you from life-altering trauma. The author makes it clear that she is intrigued by these things as well as she walks us through a labyrinth of mental wormholes, all while creating a plot and cast of characters with an amazing amount of depth.

Our main character, Aria, is a psychiatrist, returning from a leave of absence provoked by the suicide of a client and the impending divorce from her husband. She’s also a psychiatric consultant for the police. She returns to the job by being brought into a case of a young woman found wandering the streets, naked and confused. As Aria begins to dig into this young woman’s case and psyche she is brought into a story of dark chaos and reveals more about her own mindset. Everything you think you know while reading this book – you don’t. It will leave you trying to untangle the question of who are you – really? An excellent psychological thriller, can’t wait to check out more of this author’s work.

Where do I start with this incredible Thrilling Crime story? Well… At the beginning. Who am I? What am I? Where do I need to go? How did I get here? Looking in the mirror, I see me. But what have I done? Aria is the main character who deals with all kinds of patients. But I can see what she is struggling with. You will too. Being a psychologist, her plate is over full. Even though she is struggling in her personal life. Others need her, the patient who takes her own life, the young girl in the hospital, even the detectives on a hunt to find other girls missing. Not to mention the killer and his evil ways. WOW! I could not stop reading this story. There were so many avenues to get to the end. Even after the last word was read, I still felt the need to read it again. This is a must read rollercoaster. Just when you think you have figured out where this author is going. You find out you’re wrong. Reminder no story is complete until The End is read. I hope you enjoy this author and her story as much as I and the readers before me did.
