Anyone who has read a Brandilyn Collins book expects a crazy good suspense every single time. For some reason, this one did not hit that mark for me.

On the one hand, I love a good suspense with a medical undertone, and in Double Blind, just the thought that Lisa might be able to "cure" her depression with a chip implanted in her brain was mind blowing. As part of a medical trial, she found that chance - only the chip that she received was loaded with images from a murder. Those images started showing in her mind within 24 hours of the chip's implantation, and completely turned her life upside down.

On the other hand, the story dragged for me. It took so long to get to the climax of the story, the mystery surrounding this chip, and why Lisa was seeing these images. And while I normally allow myself to let a suspense play out on its own without trying to figure it out, I was frustrated when the bad guy was revealed and the way that scene came about. It just didn't work for me.

By no means will I stop reading this author because this book didn't meet my expectations. She has loads of other books that I've read over the years and loved! For readers looking for her style of writing combined with a medical suspense, I would recommend her book Over the Edge instead.

As I go through the novels I requested 6 years ago, I ask myself why. Why would I request something that I don't actually like the synopsis of.
But I read it anyway. And although it wasn't really my cup of tea. I did enjoy the storyline.
I also like the writing style and the pacing throughout.
