Twenty-nine-year-old Lisa Newberry can barely make it through the day. Suddenly widowed and a survivor of a near-fatal attack, she is wracked with grief and despair. Then she hears of a medical trial for a tiny brain chip that emits electrical pulses to heal severe depression. At rope’s end, Lisa offers herself as a candidate.
When she receives her letter of acceptance for the trial, Lisa is at first hopeful. But–brain surgery. Can she really go through with that? What if she receives only the placebo?
What if something far worse goes wrong?
Written in the relentless style for which Brandilyn Collins is known, Double Blind is a psychological thriller with mind-bending twists. Lisa faces choices that drive her to the brink, and one wrong move could cost the lives of many.

Summary
Overall A psychological thriller (no romance) that kept me guessing throughout the book. I couldn’t figure out how it would end. I didn’t guess the ending either; I love it when the author can surprise you. The story was thought provoking; would you buy a chip if it could take away your pain and suffering; and if so, at what costs? It was
interesting to watch Lisa and her mom unravel the vision and try to figure it out.
Violence I rated this a one; although the reoccurring vision is violent with a stabbing
and blood; it is a vision.
