Description
Charlotte, seeking to make a documentary for her graduate thesis enlists the older Seth, a burned-out film teacher with a history of scandal, to film the daily life of a rising tennis star, Bobby Weller. It's a glimpse into the world of the rich and dedicated that turns horrifying when Bobby murders both his parents on live TV. It's patricide, an echo of Zeus rising up against Cronos, the young gods replacing the titans. Now, the very public slaughter prompts the filmmakers to trace the threads of blood to the rich and powerful and the horror of global destruction. Can they stop the Gaia Chime? First, they need to find out what it is...

This story hit on a lot of points that can relate to today's current events and issues. It is a story that is full of moments when the reader can reflect on these issues. It isn't necessarily difficult to read, it is just a lot packed into a story.
The flow and tempo of the story is perfect, in my opinion. The transitions from scene to scene is smooth and kept me involved in the story. The character development is also spot-on. Charlotte and Seth are amazing characters that I could relate to. They both have their faults, but they see the good in each other, giving them a a down to earth, human-nature type of vibe.
The Gaia Chime may not be for everyone, but it definitely is for those that like a deep story, engaging dialogue, and an unexpected (possibly disappointing) ending. Be patient with this story, and you will be rewarded with an amazing story of what our future could be. All parts of this story, are possible for our world.

Scary and it’s hitting hard at the societies of the modern world. The writing could use a bit of polishing but a nice scary story. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this chance to read this book.
