Book 2 in Jon Biddle’s Alex Brown series, this technothriller book brings back the diabolical liver surgeon Dale Broc from the first book. With his good boy image blown to smithereens, he has nothing left to lose. And with a deadly ally in the form of a Korean assassin and a trump card to boot, nothing can stop him.
Except maybe Detective Alex Brown, who is hot on his trail. But this time, the odds are stacked heavily against her. Her only daughter has been kidnapped. If that weren’t enough, a top-secret technological marvel has been stolen from the CIA and is up for sale on the dark web. In the wrong hands, it could wreak unimaginable havoc and change the fate of humanity.
With the life of her daughter at stake and the fate of the world in the hands of a psychopath , she has her hands full and needs all the courage and perseverance she can muster to keep going. Torn between her fear for her daughter and her call of duty to save the world from the clutches of a monster, what will a desperate mother do? And will her arch-nemesis have the last laugh?
Hypnos, a thriller book paperback , is a thrilling sequel to The Harvester that you won’t be able to put down. But be fairly this fiction book is not for the faint of heart. However, if you’re a true crime junkie and dig thrillers, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This book is a labor of love. A self-confessed true crime fanatic, I’ve grown up reading about some of the worst killers to have ever walked the planet. And I’ve always wondered what went on in their heads — why they did what they did. That’s how the idea for the book was born. And now, here we are, making it into a series. I’m equal parts anxious and excited to present this book to you. But for sure, you’ll be hooked to it from the start.

Could not stop reading!
Had to remember to breathe. The story was fast paced kept me looking forward to the next chapter and the next and next. Stayed up until 4:00am to finish. Haven’t done that in a long time. Fascinating story line and believable characters that are creative and resilient. This is a great book to take on a weekend retreat - just you and the book. Treat yourself!

Not as good as the first in the series but still worth reading, I hope the third one is better.

My Thoughts:
The Cover:
I definitely didn't choose this book based on the cover. I really don't like it at all. I am not sure if I missed something and I guess blood is pertinent to the story, but not sure about the needle.
The Plot:
Hypnos was an amazing story about a terrorist attack on the world essentially. Over population is a subject that is getting more and more prevalent, but a secret organization decides to take matters into their own hands. The story flows really well, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat.
The Characters:
All of our characters are very well written with interesting backstories. Jamal is one of my favorites with his kickass smarts and the technology to match. The fail safes that he puts in place to protect himself are absolutely mind-blowing. Our pair of detectives, Mr. Bloodstone and Alex Brown are a pretty kickass team on their own, although Alex really didn't become near and dear to me. I know she was going through some stuff in her life with her daughter and then her husband as a direct result, and she is also put through the wringer in this story, but she just seems to kinda float along.
Was it worth Reading?:
Absolutely! Hypnos is a great story that keeps you reading late into the night. It has that horror factor where you just can't look away. I am looking forward to reading Jon Biddle's other books, but right now I highly recommend Hypnos and give it 5 out of 5 crossbows.

Having not read the first book – The Harvester – first, I was slightly unsure if I would be able to follow Hypnos easily, but I shouldn’t have worried at all.
Now I’ll be honest, Hypnos at first didn’t really sound like my genre of reading. While I love reading crime and thrillers, this one did seem a little out there. But I decided that I would give it a go, because how often do we actually get a female intelligence officer as the main protagonist? All I can say is I’m a convert.
