Review – Ghosts by Chip Scarinzi @ScarinziSports #suspense #psychologicalthriller
Synopsis
When you’ve lost it all, how far would you go to get it back?
Bennett Covington has a good life. The support of a loving, growing family. A satisfying job. A roof over his head. Not perfect, but close enough.
Nothing lasts forever, of course. After stumbling into the middle of a back-alley murder, Bennett becomes entangled in a web of violence set in motion by members of a shadowy criminal organization.
Subjected to psychological torment, Bennett struggles to understand the depth of their evil intentions – intentions that threaten to take much more than just his life.
Through it all, one question endures: why have they taken such a keen interest in him? When he runs, they catch him. When he hides, they find him.
The only way out is to fight back.
Review
I thought this was a mystery but it is more suspense with a sci-fi twist. There are many things that are not really explained at the end – like Poe, what exactly is he but he isn’t human!
The book did keep moving on at a pretty quick pace and kept me interested in what would happen next. Would Bennett get out of the situation he was in? Would his family be ok? Why did they keep calling him Yannick?
There were many times at the beginning when Bennett first got involved with these characters by accident and why he kept going back – was it curiosity or was it more?
There was a twist at the end that leaves the book open for a sequel or just leave you wondering what could possibly happen next.
We give this 3 1/2 paws
