Placebo by Steven James

This book gripped me from the first sentence.  I was hooked even when I didn't want to be!  I have never heard of this author and was a little unsure if I would even like this book.  I figured that I would give it a chance, but had set my mind to think I would end up not liking it.  I was so wrong. 

My heart broke from the first pages and those pages were intense.  The rest of the book grew in intensity and at times I thought I wouldn't be able to take any more!  Many times I would try to set a time limit to reading it so that it wouldn't consume my thoughts, but too often I turned the timer off and sat back down to read "just one more chapter."

I personally liked the first person storytelling.  It's something different that I hadn't read in quite a long time.  It made me feel as though I was, in fact, one of the characters and I think that's partly what made it more intense.  Of course, I wanted answers and I didn't want to be hurting by my wife's actions!

This book is the first book in the Jevin Banks Experience Series.  I'm very much looking forward to the second book in this series and to see how the story all plays out.
