BOOK REVIEWS

Illusion (A Novella) by Edmond Cheng  (Rating 3.5)
MS Fiction Presents “Unearthed” An Anthololgy of Suspense
ISSN 1555 Vol. 109-22ED
At the request of the author, a PDF copy was sent at no cost to me for my honest review.
  Synopsis: Thomas Chen is visited by his longtime friend Jonathan’s mother who delivers a warning about Jonathan But how can that be since she passed away 2 months ago. Visions and severe headaches are plaguing Thomas’ brain. Could these visions be the result of demons, or maybe physical and/or psychological in nature.
  Synopsis: Was skeptical at first but as I continued reading I found myself wanting to read more. The author’s detailed written words allowed this reader to form graphically vivid thoughts. The plot was suspenseful and held my attention to the end. However, I felt that the dialogue between characters were simplistic.
  My Rating: 3.5 I gave this rating due to the dialogue and at times somewhat confusing at what the author was trying to convey. However, the suspense and detailed words were very enjoyable. This is a new author but this reader feels that with more writing experience, this will not be his last book.
