Fiction/Christian/Suspense
Back of the book:
Desperate people make desperate choices.
Twenty-nine-year-old Lisa Newberry can barely make it
through the day. Suddenly widowed and the survivor of a near-fatal attack, she
is wracked with grief and despair. The she hears of a medical trial for a tiny
brain chip that emits electrical pulses to heal severe depression. At rope’s
end Lisa offers herself as a candidate.
When she receives her letter of acceptance for the trial,
Lisa is at first hopeful. But . . . brain
surgery. Can she really go through with that? What if she receives only the
placebo?
What if something far worse goes wrong?
Written in the relentless style for which Brandilyn
Collins is known, Double Blind is a
psychological thriller with mind-bending twists. Lisa faces choices that drive
her to the brink, and one wrong move could cost the lives of many.

My thoughts:
Do you have a suspense lover on your Christmas list? Double Blind would be the perfect gift
for them! Brandilyn once again writes an intriguing story about an ailment that
strikes many. There is a deliciously sinister element that turns this from an
average read to a heart pumping adventure.
Lisa Newberry has been through her share of overwhelming
tragedies. She now suffers from a very debilitating case of depression. It
seems that no matter what she does, she just can’t seem to shake it. An
experimental surgery to implant a brain chip seems to hold the answer.
At first it appears to be the miracle cure, but then she
begins to have strange visions. Of course since it is a Brandilyn Collins
novel, these visions are about a violent murder. The twists and turns in this
story are mind blowing.
These visions at first seemed a little “woo woo” out
there for my tastes. I’ve been a Collins fan for some time so I should have
known better. The conclusion brought it all together and made perfect sense.
The best part of course was that I was on the edge of my seat right up to the
end! (Don’t you hate it when you figure out a suspense book early on?) If you
like to be creeped out but at the same time reminded that God is sovereign over
every situation . . . pick up a copy of this book and enjoy!
