A Nail-Biter

by H.D. Thomson

Author note: It seems with each year it gets more difficult to find that time to read a book because of how hectic life gets, so on that thought, I decided to break up Duplicity into 6 quick episodes which can be read while waiting in line or at a doctor or dentist's office.

Author Warning: This episode ends with a cliffhanger.

Clark is devastated when his memory comes crashing down around him. What he learns about himself turns into a dark and terrifying reality. His worse fears are realized. He’s far from a hero with super human powers. The moment Katherine learns the truth about him, he knows she’ll never forgive him. How can she, when he can’t even forgive himself? But then he realizes none of that matters when Katherine’s life is suddenly in jeopardy. All that matters is saving her. He’s willing to risk it all to be the hero Katherine deserves. He’ll forfeit his own life to save hers. But is he too late and will he fail her like he failed the boys from the shelter?

Reviews

[JJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow!!! I was not expecting this degree of engagement but am pleased to say it was great.

The situation at the beginning puts the reader in the dark as to what is really going on. As the story unfolds, we are introduced to a number of individuals who have you guessing but never sure who to trust, much less what is going on.

There are plenty of surprises and relationships that will lead you down some twisted roads and you will love every minute. If you are like me, your emotions will be all over the place. I received a reader copy and couldn’t help but think of Rod Sterling...and that’s a very good thing.

This one is a five star read but I am taking off a star for typos and misuse of tenses...at times it feels like this is not the authors native language.
