Doctor Lucifer, the first novel by Anthony Lee, was well done and kept my interest. I found myself fully engaged at the start and remained that way throughout. The story was heavy on. medical jargon which was not needed and it did slow down towards the end. The ending of the story seemed forced, however, overall it was a good read.

Captivating!!!

☆Medical cybercrime☆

This story follows Dr. Mark Lin, who's trying to stop a cyber hacker that's trying to kill his patients by changing their medical records. The author wrote a truly gripping crime novel filled with drama, suspense, compelling storyline, and more! I was highly engaged throughout every chapter. I never found myself bored with this story, I just wanted more! I'll absolutely be reading more from this author in the future.

What a great book, I binged it in a night. As i just couldnt put it down. Thank you netgalley for the early preview of this book.

Thank you AuthorBuzz for allowing me to read and review Doctor Lucifer on NetGalley.

Anyone with medical experience, particularly in a hospital on the weekends and nights will find fault in this book. The main character is an established resident and on the surface likeable. However, once the contact with patients and their families begins his behavior is ludicrous and would not be allowed. The author is not writing satire. The story lost momentum at 50%.

The book depicts a major teaching hospital and the author writes a middle grade story.

The genre legal thriller is incorrect; threatening suit by a patient and a family is all that takes place.

The ending was childish and stayed with the middle grade boy mind set.

You can't take it seriously; there are some funny moments.

The beginning had me pretty hooked as I was getting into it because I really was fascinated by the idea of this happening and what it would be like in real life. It did get super repetitive and drawn out resulting in it being very slow paced for me. It didn’t have a whole lot of heart-racing thrill I was searching for in this scenario playing out. There was a LOT of name dropping references to everyday life things, which kind of put me off from it. There was parts that were too detailed and drawn out that made it difficult for me to keep reading and pushing through. Still I’m glad I kept going because the ending was more than satisfactory and I’m glad it ended the way it did. I will say the reveal of who Doctor Lucifer was, was honestly not that surprising as he was one of my top suspects from the get go. I did enjoy the riddle and ending the most overall. Thank you for the chance to read your book.

I greatly enjoyed reading this book as someone who has doctors in the family. I truly believe that the author knows what it's like being a doctor and was able to express the frustration, stress, battle within or doctors. Unlike my typical genre of books, this book kept me on the edge of my seat. I kept reading until I was completed. The book is engaging and speaks from Dr. Mark Lin's point of view. It is scary to think what could happen if medicine falls into the wrong hands.

Medical thriller mixed with computer technology story. Overall not a bad story but nothing exciting or too entertaining. Medical portions were too drawn out and explained in way too much detail which were not necessary to the plot and took too long. I felt like I was given a CPR and code blue lesson at one point. Some parts could have been cut and made the book shorter without compromising the story. Give it a read but don’t expect too much.

This was an okay book for me and I was glad when it was over. I was excited to read it once I read the synopsis and it appeared to tie cyber attacks in a way I never thought possible. The main chapter is a doctor that is targeted by a cyber attack, switching up medicine on patience or hiding their blood type when a transfusion is required. So I thought it had good promise. But it was a slow build and a lot of it was so unbelievable, it had me rolling my eyes at moments. The doctor has been bullied, targeted and shamed in public, but he just says "It's okay, I won't press charges". The book also repetitive and could have been eliminated, but made me think it was just filler on the pages. The ending was the best part and that is why I gave this book 2 1/2 stars overall. I think this author has promise and I would try another book by him in the future. Just want more substance in the book.

It was okay…

Long explanations of medical terminology, didn’t really like the main character
His qualities
- a bit self centered
- lacked empathy
- loves music (especially his Spotify playlists) *can’t forget this one*

mystery/thriller but didn’t start to get into the action part until about halfway through. By that point I was ready for what was next, more suspense and some plot twists but nope. Perfect book if you’re a doctor or in the medical field and understand the terminology that’s thrown out there.

Unfortunately thus didn't work for me.. I got pretty irritated within the first few pages pushing politics in the way of vaccines. Just not my thing and I wouldn't honestly recommend to many

Wow this was a terrific read! I really enjoyed it ! I couldn’t put it down
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this

The premise was interesting but the book dragged and it was just not for me. I don't mind medical thrillers, it was just this particular book. it started off very good but by half way I was losing interest

This book was my first medical thriller and oh my god it was so good and it was gruesome and dark and twisty I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will definitely be searching for more like this in the future

A computer hacker has hacked into a bunch of patient charts and are killing patients. But one doctor is trying to stop it one patient at a time.

I was not a fan of this book and it felt boring. In the beginning it started off okay but by halfway through I was contemplating putting it down. I thought it was too simple and there wasnt enough thrill or anything in it.

This is an interesting premise and I was excited to read it but it just didn't work for me. I really disliked the MC and parts of the book really dragged. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this

I liked Dr. Mark Lin right from the beginning. It’s easy to feel sorry for him as bad things start happening to him. The plot was intriguing but lost it’s way about half way through and became preachy, redundant, and frankly, boring. Thankfully, the author got off his soap box and the last quarter of the book kicked in. The middle is the reason for three stars as opposed to four stars.

My review is voluntary and all comments and opinions are my own.

As a nurse working in a hospital, this book was beyond hard to read. The amount of information in the book that was not researched was astounding. The dialogue felt stiff, the frequent reference of “Covid-19” felt off. Anyone that works in the hospital just calls it “Covid”. The medical dosing was off, and some parts were over detailed for no reason. WHY IS HE ADMITTING MEDICATION ERROR TO PATIENTS AND FAMILY & HR IS NOT INVOLVED?! Don’t even get me started on how he gets assaulted, shoots two people and is at work the next day? If hospital security even tazes someone at a hospital in our system EVERYONE gets new education order sets. I highly reccomend having a medical professional & Dr. who is practicing proof reading the next book attempted. Could use a lot of work.

I really liked this. Fast paced but didn't lose you anywhere, scary because it could happen, maybe has and we didn't hear! I think there could be a hair more fleshing out of characters, can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm a character girl ;) Great for a first book and first in series!

Amazing from start to finish. I highly recommend this book. First time reading this author. Will not be my last time.
Great character development and easy to follow reading.
