The Confessional Kindle Edition

by K. Nilsson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 31 ratings
Psychology student, Grace Fleming, is addicted to meaningless hook-ups in random places, impulsively following a script for self-destruction and bad behavior. She suffers from nightmares and a patchwork of flashbacks that leave her in a fugue state. Unsure what they mean, she goes to therapy, seeking answers. Is her mind conjuring them up or are they past encounters she’d blocked out?

Saint is a private investigator of dubious character. He will take almost any case, but his favorite includes entrapping married women into infidelity.  Saint is hired to keep a watchful eye on Grace while keeping his identity a secret. The paradox tempts him; is Grace, a devil in disguise or an angel with a crooked halo? When he finds himself in a compromising position, Saint quits. He soon regrets resigning when he discovers a sinister threat to her safety, and it may be the reason for the nightmares.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

The Confessional is full is symbolism and contradictions, damnation and redemption, hope and despair, hidden and revealed.  I wanted to explore if romance and recovery for adults who were abused as children were possible.  Grace viewed herself as a survivor, not a broken victim. She deserved romance.  I just wrote through her voice; she would tell me her story. 

**The Confessional contains sensitive topics and possible triggers for some readers.  Please read the reviews first.**

K. Nilsson’s love of reading began with the Bobbsey twins. When she ran across some Italian True Romance novellas stashed in the attic, the musty serials hooked her on adult fiction. Though black and white photos were dramatic enough to know what the stories were about, she taught herself to read in Italian and translated them to her friends. She’s an unapologetic reviewer of books, restaurants, and vacation destinations. An amateur photographer, K. loves taking editorial photos and documenting her travels. Her personal philosophy, sleeping is a waste of time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars disturbing subject but good storyline
    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2019
    Format: Paperback
    This is intense, heartbreaking, suspenseful, disturbing and graphic. Grace doesn't know why she needs the degradation she craves, she just does. She has been dealing with wanting to hurt herself and having nightmares she can't remember anything about since she was a teenager. She has been seeing the same therapist since she was 14, and just recently has been having flashbacks about being controlled. When she disappears after one of her episodes her sister hires a P.I. to find her. The P.I. gives the case to another P.I., Saint, who specializes in catching cheating wives by taking pictures of them while they are with him. His wife cheated on him so he decided that 1) he wasn't ever going to trust another female so 2) he only did one night stands and 3) he was starting his own business that would help men catch their wives cheating. When he found out about Grace's behavior he thought that he had found a soulmate, another person who used sex to satisfy a different need. After she goes home her sister still wants Saint to watch her, but that doesn't work for him. Until they realize she is being stalked, then he's all over her. What follows is a shocking twist that you can't see coming. The end is sweet and satisfying.
    received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

    ***Trigger Warnings***
    Cutting & Sexual Child Abuse

    The Author DOES note of triggers at the beginning of her book, but it’s not until the end that you learn what they are. I’d change that, so readers can make the best choices for themselves beforehand!!

    This story is very dark and does include romance, but the focus is more about self-redemption and living as a survivor after experiencing hell.

    The print needs quite a bit of clean-up and editing. Spell check would be a start, but add in a couple proofreads, a red pen for marking changes and the rewrite. Indie authors can produce nearly flawless books and Amazon is proof with the tens of thousands of books sold, read & reviewed. If this genre is the type of story you’re looking for, then it is an interesting read. I wish the author would’ve given a better ending versus leaving it up to the reader. All-in-all it’s good.

    I must say the book was good, it just got a little confusing at times because it was from multiple characters point of view. Sometimes when the character would switched the story would backtrack, which is usually where I got confused. Other than that the story was really good and very intense.

    Carla's Four Star Review

    **Important-This is a dark read and may contain triggers for some readers**

    This is Grace and Saint's story, and, let me warn you, their story is not for the faint of heart. It is real, and it is raw. Due to past events that she can't remember, Grace is stuck. She is a psychology student with dreams to help people like herself, but, before she can help others, she must face and overcome her own demons. In order to do this, she is working with a therapist. The plan is to recover her lost memories, but there are outside forces working against her.

    Saint is a private investigator with dreams of his own. He has no idea that when he is hired to keep an eye on Grace that his life will never be the same. These two share a connection that is off the charts, but Grace confuses him. Is she a devil in disguise, or an innocent victim dealing with her past the best way she can?

    The story line in this book is a little crazy, but oh so good! It takes a few chapters to really get into the good part of the story, but once you get there, you won't be able to put your kindle down until the very end!

    Awesome job, K. Nilsson!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Dark and Intense
    Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This book will intrigue and captivate you taking you on a wild adventure giving you a taste of the dark side with triggers that are haunting and disturbing. The subject is not for some but there is context of its connection to the plotline. I couldn't even imagine this story would take me in to the darkness as far as it did. You are in for such an intense, depraved, raw and just shocking ride that you won't even realize you are being moved across the chess board until you get that checkmate moment. You'll know it and will enjoy it for the most part.
