The BookViral Review:
An intriguing Techno-Thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, Vanished is one of those novels that will hook you from the start with Fridsma quick to sow the seeds of suspense and tension.
Too many novels pay superficial deference to originality and it is always refreshing to find an author who demonstrates diversity in thought and execution, whilst avoiding the pitfalls of overt imitation. On this level Fridsma certainly sets herself apart. It’s not overly complex, but with clear evidence of an acerbic mind at work and a host of well-observed characters, the devil is certainly in the detail. Keeping her readers off-guard with multiple plot threads that neatly sidestep the curse of predictability,
Given that Vanished takes us into the realm of computer programming and virtual reality Fridsma could have loaded her narrative chockablock with technobabble and jargon that might have alienated the average readers. But she’s steered away from that as we slip between virtual space and the real world with momentum quick to build and readers guaranteed a cracking ending!
An enjoyable read and a great introduction to Fridsma’s many novels Vanished is strongly recommended.
The enduring sorrow of those waiting for heart transplants is ripe for drama and Rowley grapples with provocative concepts in thoughtful terms whilst demonstrating a sure hand for staging scenes, creating strong characters and setting a tone.
An intelligent and portentous read that will work as a wish-fulfilment fantasy for many science fiction fans Dream Phaze – Gemination introduces us to the idea of experiencing realities far beyond the reach of our waking minds!
Possibly the trickiest of all writing genres, the thriller comes with high expectations, which are hard to fulfil. So what do we expect from a thriller, and why do we enjoy reading them so much?
The popularity of Crime Fiction might wax and wane but at the end of the day, it still remains one of the most popular genres.
Let me let you into a secret. You are unlikely to become a rich writer. And before you start waving Harry Potter and Game of Thrones under my nose, please scroll back to the word ‘unlikely’.
Few Crime Fiction authors genuinely excel at successfully misleading their readers and revealing an unlikely suspect as the real villain of the story and those that do can invariably be found at the very top of Whodunit Bestseller lists.
