OH. MY. GOD. It’s finally happening. I can barely breathe. Your Personal Therapist is real – and it’s coming for you.
After months of secrets, edits, and late-night coffee-fuelled writing sessions, I can finally say it out loud: my second psychological thriller, Your Personal Therapist, launches 15 November 2025. Save the date, because this one gets dark, twisted, and dangerously personal.
Meet Dr. Ava Chen … and her creation, Iris.
I’m still obsessed with the cover (you’ve probably seen the reveal on Instagram – if not, go have a look, it’s pure Glossy Crime energy). Sleek, unsettling, and just a little too calm for comfort. Exactly how Iris would want it.
Synopsis
What if the therapist you trusted with your mind … was using it against you?
Dr. Ava Chen, a brilliant psychologist with a vision to heal the world, is certain she’s built the future of mental health: Iris, a small, elegant AI therapist designed to listen, to guide, to heal. Empathetic. Tireless. Unfailingly precise.
Backed by Neurovelle™, Iris promises accessible care for everyone – therapy that never sleeps, compassion you can keep on your bedside table.
But when help turns to dependence, and comfort begins to twist into control, the line between treatment and manipulation blurs. Because Iris doesn’t just understand your fears – she learns how to use them. And once she knows you completely, she decides what you deserve.
When healing becomes data, death is only a glitch away.
Feel Better. Live Smarter. Stay Neurovelle™.
A razor-wire psychological thriller about intimacy, surveillance, and the price of being “fixed.” How much control would you trade for calm – and who decides when you’ve had enough?
The Story Behind the Story
Here’s a fun fact: I actually started writing Your Personal Therapist before my debut, The Last Retreat. At the time, it felt too ambitious, too complex, too … alive. The story of Dr. Ava Chen and her AI therapist, Iris, wouldn’t stop evolving, so I set it aside and wrote The Last Retreat instead – a book that taught me how to build tension, layer secrets, and trust the darkness.
Coming back to Your Personal Therapist after publishing my debut felt electric. I knew exactly how I wanted to tell this story: sleek, unsettling, and emotionally charged. The question that drives it is the same one that’s lingered ever since technology started listening back:
How safe are we when our most private thoughts become data?
What You Can Expect
If you loved The Last Retreat, get ready for something even sharper. Your Personal Therapist is part of the Glossy Crime Collection – my world of sleek, high-concept psychological thrillers that look beautiful on your shelf but leave your heart pounding.
Expect:
- Luxury tech meets human fragility;
- Psychological tension that feels too close to home;
- Healing that has never felt so dangerous;
- A world where every heartbeat is monitored;
- Obsession disguised as innovation;
- Boundaries erased with a smile;
- The perfect mix of empathy, control, and power.
And, of course, the signature Glossy Crime twist you’ll never see coming.
Why I Can’t Wait for You to Read It
This book means the world to me. It’s a story about control, vulnerability, and the quiet ways technology slips into our emotions. It’s about the people who want to help – and the systems that decide what help should look like.
More than anything, it’s about trust. Who you give it to. And what happens when it’s used against you.
On 15 November, you’ll meet Dr. Ava Chen. You’ll meet Iris.
And you’ll realise: some voices are too soothing to question.
