Starting my year off right with a 5-star read. I have read several books by this author, and I have always been entertained. Her stories just keep getting better. Now, to be totally honest, I almost put this book down, which would have been my loss. The story started out a bit confusing, but keep going because the main character is having just as many issues figuring things out as you, the reader – but as things become clearer – OMG!

My official review

At the heart of the story is Kurt, who awakens from a coma into a world of bewilderment, mirroring this reader’s initial confusion. The author masterfully exploits this disorientation, turning it into a pivotal plot element. As the tale progresses, the pace quickens, thrusting you into a whirlwind of constant action and intricate subplots. While the complexity of the narrative may be initially disconcerting, it soon becomes apparent that it’s a deliberate choice, artfully reflecting the protagonist’s journey. This book offers readers a gripping roller-coaster adventure with many moving parts, solidifying the author’s reputation for delivering thrilling and thought-provoking narratives.
