Gripping read, flows well and keeps the reader interested throughout. It has good descriptive dialogue and brings the characters to life making the reader part of the story. The story follows Dan and his friends as they weave their way through a menagerie of events with twists and turns to discover the truth. Hopefully the next book won't be too long in coming, I am desperate to know what happens next and how they fair along the journey further into the unknown. It is a very well written book that hooks the reader making it impossible to put down. Book two please?!

One day, Dan called Nicola to meet. He told her that he wants to find out about his birth mother. Nic offered her help to Dan and they even searched Greg's office to find some details related to it. Read this book to know how things unveil for Dan.
Author's writing style is nice. Cover of the book is well designed. Pace of the story is fast and I didn't feel bored anytime while reading it. Narration is smooth and I enjoyed reading this story in a flow. I am interested in reading more novels by M D Charles in future.

🍷This is definitely one of those books that left me restless and curious to know what will happen next. The story is so well written that after a point I felt like I'm actually watching it and not reading. Throughout the story, I was surprised with twists that I never expected.

One of the most intriguing part was the second half of the book where I was constantly glued to the story. It's definitely a page turning story which has it all, the secrets, the emotions and the remarkable characters.
It's enjoyable. Go for it.
