Disclosure: I purchased the e-book Chain Reaction. I do not know the author personally and have had only brief encounters with her on the Goodreads site. The comments that follow are my own personal opinion. I received NO compensated of any kind, or from any one, to provide this review.
I enjoyed this book although it is not my normal type of read. The story was interesting and despite a couple spots where the pace seemed to drag a little, I found it flowed very well overall. The characters were well developed and the plot dramatic and detailed. The writer was able to add a literary quality to this book and still provide a decent plot line. I would have difficulty putting this read into a specific genre. It is quite unique and although it may not appeal to everyone. I would recommend it to avid readers. It's different and worth the effort.

My older son read through this book over the weekend. He was not thrilled with it but did finish it and has offered his opinion without compensation. "It reads like a comic book made into a book but without the pictures. The speech didn't seem natural and the actions didn't seem right." After much deliberation and lengthy discussion this is what I understand about the book. The writing feels rough and at times disjointed. The characters have a cardboard feel and need fleshing out to be layered and to connect with them. Some of the choice of language feels odd. The plot has a familiar feel to it, has a rough flow but works out to be fairly good. I think this book would appeal to younger adults who enjoy quick gritty reads. I was gifted a free copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Not my normal genre, but entertaining nonetheless. Lots of flashbacks that leave you reeling and wondering which facet of the character is real. And lots of fight scenes. If I had to describe, I'd say a cross between The Matrix and Vanilla Sky. This is a series opener by Merriweather as it leaves major questions unanswered, and the need to read on to see what or who Erik actually is.
