Welcome to day 2 of the blog tour for Vanish. If you haven’t read the book and don’t enjoy spoilers, then you shouldn’t read my post.ย
Now, where was I?ย Back to the alien invasion. What else could it be? I am so completely hooked on this book for the simple reason that I want to know whatโs going on. While I enjoy suspense and ever-increasing tension, I donโt enjoy enveloping mist on a dark night, blocking visibility when hideous aliensโand they ARE hideousโwhisper nearby. Theyโre always just on the edge of darkness, whispering, torturing the characters with vivid memories from their past. Must be an alien experiment.ย ย ย
When Connerโs seizure morphs into a heart attack and he fights for his life, waking up in the emergency roomโI was stunned. But all the seizures, bright lights and pain of shocking defibrillation, makes sense. And thatโs when it dawns on me whatโs going on. I couldnโt have predicted this outcome. A dream maybe, but not lingering in a world between life and death, where demonsโyes demons not aliensโlabor to tug you into the abyss from which thereโs no return.ย
Amazing. So now the book I wish I hadnโt started is one I highly recommend. In Vanish, I got everything I wanted in a novel–surprised with the unpredictable, and pulled into a story that blew my mind. That doesnโt happen very often.
