I requested for this medical thriller as this genre has been my first love… Ahem.. Ahem…for reasons some of you already know. I wouldn’t say the book was as good as Robin Cook, but it does try to spin a good tale infusing the prose with suspense within a hosoital scenario.

The story went thus, a research student Jay came to the ER with gastric problems which soon converted to cardiac complications, and he had to be shocked multiple times. There was something wrong with his heart rhythm which didn’t really go with any of the known medications or recreational drugs till something clicked in the mind of the intensivist Dr Cassie.

On the other hand, Jay’s friend, Autumn investigated certain aspects of his study, and made few shocking discoveries even with the threats to her life.

My first book by Dr Dawn Sherling had me stuck to my kindle. The intrigue and suspense had me turning pages faster. I too wanted to know what had gone wrong with Jay. I could only shake my head sadly at the conclusion how greed has entered into this supposedly noble field. There were a lot of medical terms, procedures, some were detailed explanations about the different electrolyte channels of the heart. Confused? I was too, it reminded me too much of my text books and exams.

Overall a great mystery revealed at the end, I enjoyed the suspense as well as the procedures. Hahaha I got transported to my lecture halls. 😉😂

I received an ARC from NetGalley and publisher, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!!
