SuspenseSynopsis: Dr. Beck is a young pediatrician at an inner city clinic who has given up an elegant life style to help others and enjoy what family he has that is still alive. Then, an anonymous e-mail arrives that shatters his imperfect life. Could he possibly become more miserable?
*As a reader you will sit on the edge of your seat in anticipation. Yes, you think you have this fast-paced, exciting mysterious tale figured out and then ... BAM! You have NO CLUE! Yes, you will sympathize with Dr. Beck, you will cheer for Dr. Beck, you might even pray for Dr. Beck. Dangers lurk at every corner. Bad guys keep crawling out of the "woodwork" and even the sewers? Flashbacks, serial killers, villains, drug dealers OH MY! But, heroes are also showing up to save the day...or are they?
*Beck has had many close relationships and some he would rather fore-go. Hence, who can he trust? Is family the ultimate guarantee? Would mere acquaintances save your life? Twists and turns and murders in this contemporary, action-packed, violent escapade will leave you breathless. Even though this occurs in Manhattan, any large city would be believable. Attention to detail and endless events spur the saga on until you are left wondering ... what just happened?

I like how you used a narrative style to write your annotation and used different font colors to list the appeal factors. I also like how you listed so many read-a-likes. : )
ReplyDeleteAmber,
ReplyDeletethanks. I didn't have the "red" in my blog - but, decided it needed to be more obvious -- the points I was making -- so I added the color. It looked LOTS more exciting after this! I think it also makes more sense as far as "calling out" the genre, etc. Thanks for your kind words!
Really cool, especially the red ( makes it more chilling).
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your annotation, You held my interest regarding the book's synopsis and description. I agree with Amber: the red highlights made the annotation even more interesting! Nice job!
