Dead Sound immediately gripped me from the start. The heroine is returning to work after an attack by a patient. Just wanting her life to return to some level of normal she unwittingly becomes the center of much larger conspiracy in the works at the hospital. Even being forced to take involuntary paid leave, the heroine can’t avoid her fate or the role she has yet to play. The book somehow manages to bring together a secret organization, political plotting and medicine/hospital life. Combined with the unsure and ominous nature setting the tone of the novel it’s hard to determine what’s real and what’s not which created a pretty thrilling atmosphere. As someone in the medical field the heroine has some tough calls ahead. She’d never had to question things in her line of work before as there’s always a diagnosis. But now everything has muddled what’s a delusion and what could be real, I was left me guessing more than once.
The heroine works as a social worker in the hospital often dealing with patients suffering mentally. She’s heard it all and seen it all but something about a new case has her questioning everything. The tone of the book had me thinking one step further because who ever truly listens to that of a “crazy person,” and when do you decide you should?! I loved the blend of misdirection the author used after dropping hints such as in the beginning when it’s unclear if the book has supernatural or paranormal elements. While the heroines life spirals she also works closely with her coworker and crush, slowly paving the way for their relationship, if only life would stop intruding. The romance is minor and more of a side story especially when compared to the craziness of the main plot. I really enjoyed this book and read it in a day. At times it reminded me here and there of other books I’ve read or movies I’ve seen and I really appreciate how the author put her spin on things and brought them all together. Definitely a promising start to a new series.
Psychotherapist Neviah returns to work at Capitol Hill General in Washington after being stabbed by a patient and is swarmed by a group of patients who have voluntarily admitted themselves to her unit and believe that she is the one to save the world from apocalypse. Neve's friend, Con is an endocrinologist at the hospital who is treating the group's leader when he falls into a diabetic coma but before he does so, he gives Neve an encrypted drive and asks her to find someone who can help her access the information on the drive. Neve and Con give the driver to a hacker who uncovers a political plot by a rouge think tank to remove the president from office and replace him with the VP they control. There is a little paranormal/spiritual element to the story as well when the group's leader claims and angel is watching over Neve and shares information with him that no one knows about Neve and has her wondering about divine forces at work.
This is an interesting storyline that includes issues relating to mental health, faith and abuse of power and I enjoyed reading it.
AMAZING! such a wonderful mixture of romance, angels and politics, i couldn't wait to get back to it each time to see what each chapter held, i would love more of this author definitely!
Thank You NetGalley, Tangled Tree Publishing and Author for this amazing advanced ebook copy!
Neve and Cornelius are amazing, exciting characters who instantly pulled me in.
The story Dead Sound is a good, quick, outstanding read. I was hooked immediately after starting this novel, and finished this book in a few settings. Its that good!
The pages just flew by, like that. Pacing does a lot for me, so I was thrilled when not only the denouement is presented with a bow tied to it, but the way we reached the end is amazing!
This is a book not to be missed that's for sure.
Again thank you for the opportunity to read and review this novel I'm excited for the next one!
