The book description gives a sneak preview: ‘Mike Messenger is a young man working in NY on relocation, enjoying the life the city has to offer. Until late one night, he discovers he is the messenger chosen to save the earth from the evil forces of the lethal, destructive figures in black that strive to shatter the natural order of things. The figures in black, faceless and endowed with superhuman powers, have been charged with executing a number of attacks to wreak havoc and shock the world, while spreading fear around the globe. When these opposing forces are on an inevitable collision course, the messenger has one mission only: to stop the wicked conspiracy before it is too late.’
Now, if that’s not enough to get your curiosity juices flowing, I don’t know what will. But if you want to find out what happens, you’ll just have to turn the pages for yourself! However, I will say it was well worth the read. It’s my first time reading this author and I must say I was very impressed.
The story had every element a good story should have. A solid plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. There’s an abundance of well-illustrated scenes that make you feel like you are right there in the story, and that’s something I really look for in a good book.
I enjoyed the story, character development, and dialogue. There were plenty of plot twists that I didn’t see coming and that added to the book’s mystique. When I stopped reading to work, I found myself wondering what happened in the book, and replaying parts of the novel in my head to see if I could figure more out. It has been a while since I enjoyed a book this much.
This was a fascinating and captivating read that had me immersed from the beginning. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling. There are plenty of attention-grabbing moments in this page turner that will take the reader on a truly mesmerizing journey.
Highly recommended reading and a well-deserved five stars.
