After the attack at his father’s amusement park, Daniel cannot believe what he’s capable of. He tries to lock himself away and protect those he loves… until he finds out that the monster within did not get there by accident, and the one responsible didn’t stop with him.

Sarah remembers the stories her mother used to tell her: of a place where the sun shone brightly and bird songs filled the air; a place where home wasn’t a cramped cell; a place where your own mind didn’t try to torment you. She wants nothing more than to be free of this living hell... even if that means she won’t get out alive.

Jack is fed up of chasing the serial killer with no name, whose favourite game is creating monsters out of living people. He just wants to catch him before anyone else gets hurt… but reaching that goal becomes much more dangerous than anyone could have guessed.

When these three strangers find their lives colliding on an island from which there is no escape, they must work together if they want to survive. But how do they fight against a force that doesn't really exist?

The way the chapters are written is very interesting and gave a view in each character’s eyes. It made for quick reading and elevated the thrill factor. The author did an amazing job at “tying” up the loose ends a reader formulates during the course of the book, I can’t stand when I have unanswered questions at the the end so thank you to this author!

The idea behind this book is wonderful and amazing. As a concept I was very impressed by the fact that the story is written in such a way that you find yourself in so many different places in so many different and wonderful ways.

I found the story fun to read and easy to understand if not so easy to follow though one of the choices was a little predictable, well at least I thought so, but it didn't hurt the whole of the story in the slightest.

I really want more.

At first I wasn't sure if I was totally into this but the further I read the more I liked it. There were times when I laughed at Dan and the werewolf and I finally got the jest of it.

I really enjoyed this book. It is exciting and suspenseful. As the parallel story lines began to merge, I thought I had figured out how the characters were related. I was wrong. Nothing about this story is predictable. It had me turning pages all the way to the end. Excellent story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Started with high expectations

This book started off pretty good. I have been looking for some "scary" stories to read to get into the Halloween spirit (I love scary stories, but it is hard to find good ones). I thought yes! This is going to be so good. I loved the first chapters of Daniel's story, turning into a wolf and having no control over that was great. I loved reading it as he was just locked in his head and couldn't really do anything about it, much different from most werewolf stories. I liked Sarah's first chapters and felt so bad for her. She is locked away on an island with the Doctor and he just uses her to play his games every day. I can't imagine trying to escape every day and every day getting caught and locked back up. What will you must have to live to keep doing that. It was a great second storyline.

Then I got to Jack and...well I didn't like his storyline. Something about his story felt cheesy and just not as good as the other ones. I thought maybe it would get better as I went along. It didn't. If anything it got worse.

*Note some spoilers will follow as I can't not talk about the things I really disliked about this story*

I was okay with everything until Jack and Daniel meet up for the first time and Jack told him the wolf was just in his head. The Doctor planted the thought in his head so well that his body actually turned into a wolf because of his mind. I hated that. It was so lame! I don't know why. I was talking to my husband about this and ranting about how lame it was and saying if this had been set in a different world than okay, but in our world now someone makes you think you are a wolf so you are a wolf? No. I can accept the telepaths, people moving things with their minds and reading minds, I can accept people who were bit by a werewolf get the werewolf whatever in them and then they turn into werewolves, or maybe it is a virus or something. All of that I can go along with so it seems silly that I dry the line at changing your physical appearance with your mind, but for some reason it was a major turn off for me. So the rest of the book was just...not good. If you like that whole mind over matter, the mind can trap you somewhere and whatnot then this story will probably work for you. For me it was just like really? That is the best you could do?

Then the end. Well Jack and Daniel and Sarah are all trapped on the island. Even though it is all from the Doctors mind. So why can't they get out of there like Daniel could get rid of the wolf in his head? If it is all mind controlling it why can't they do something about it? The Doctor is too strong...then the twist at the end...not good. By that point I just thought why am I even bothering to read this? Everything tied up so nice and quickly and was just too easy to get everyone straightened out.

I had high hopes for this book based on the first few chapters. They were quickly dashed and just kept going downhill for me. Not the worst book I have ever read, but there was a lot of eye rolling and yelling at the book while reading it.

I received this book for free via the Book Blast program. I was intrigued by the description, and spell-bound from the very first page. I love this book, but there are a few typos in the book, so that brought it down a star. All in all, I'd say this is a great book for young adults looking for a brilliant story with just enough connection to modern life to keep the fantasy part strong. There is some vulgar, but it is used appropriately.

I don't usually read paranormal/werewolf/vampire books but there was a review that told us this story was unique so I downloaded it.
Though written for a younger generation I did read and complete this book. I enjoyed the way the story was told from every characters point of view. The pace was fast, the story interesting and enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't read it in the dark...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2015

The Doctor is an excellent debut novel from Jennifer Bull. It's a YA novel but adults would enjoy it as well. It's dark, and creepy, and a gripping read. Without giving away the story, the book follows three completely seperate characters as their lives slowly bring them together in an adventure you wouldn't see coming. Each character is well written and brings it's own side to the story.

The Doctor has more twists and turns than a roller coaster in the very theme park one of the characters starts off in. The book slowly unveils each character's backstory, adding in bits and pieces to the puzzle but then throws the puzzle to the floor and starts over. You find yourself sympathising with each person's plight, and pulling your blanket a little bit closer in the dark. The novel is very well written, with a great flow of story considering each chapter is told from a different person's point of view. You don't lose track of the story, despite it jumping around, and in the end you find everyone is knitted together in a very nice (albeit surprising-in-a-good-way!) ending. The story is complicated enough to be enjoyable, but not so much that you can't read it all in one sitting, which I did!

I actually hope there is a sequel or a prequel one day. I would definitely love to read more about The Doctor and how his mind and abilities work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping and Full of Twists and Turns
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2013

This genre of book is not what I'd normally choose for myself, however I was pleasantly surprised by Jennifer's first novel, 'The Doctor'. The writing style easy to read and very quick paced which adds to the suspense that is built up from the first chapter,and draws you in to keep reading more and discover what happens to the three main characters, Daniel, Jack and Sarah. What is particularly clever about this story is that it is told from one of three different points of view in each chapter and this makes the reader wonder how these seemingly very different people with very different stories, could possibly be connected.

If you're young and particularly enjoy paranormal psychological thrillers or stories that contain werewolves, then this book is for you. However, if you fancy trying something a bit different, then give this a try, you may be surprised.

Looking forward to seeing what Jennifer writes next.

I liked the parallel concept and structure of this book, it inter-cuts into sub stories and keeps the reader's interest and momentum going. Very imaginatively written and a good read with just enough tension, twists and turns to make it a real page turner. For fans of the psychological thriller and horror genre, I enjoyed reading this and will be looking out for and reading more from this talented new author.
