MY REVIEW
Victor had
served his time in prison for crimes he had committed. Now that he is out, he
has stayed away from that kind of life. He has a dream of opening a restaurant.
But, apparently fate has other plans for him, as he is approached by an
associate from his past with instructions from the boss for Victor to dispose
of a body. Victor has no choice but to do the job. He ends up botching the
disposal, and the body washes up on shore beside Adam, who awakens and doesn’t
remember anything before that moment. As Adam tries to piece together what
happened to him, Victor equally works to get himself out of the situation he is
in.
This story had
an intriguing plot, with a cast of characters that had me wondering their true
intent, as well as finding out the mystery of Adam’s amnesia. I felt that this
could have been a great read if not for the writing style. It was hard to get
past the stilted elementary structure of the sentencing. And sometimes it seemed
that the author would have the characters saying simple things that were
obvious and unneeded for the conversation. Otherwise, I did enjoy the story,
but feel like the author needs to work on his delivery.

A shame this thriller didn't live up to its full potential.
