[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Heroin(e)" by Gordon X. Graham.]
Heroin(e) by Gordon X Graham is a fast-paced action crime thriller that delves into the world of crime, drugs, serial killings, and political intrigues. The story begins with an intriguing prologue that instantly piques one’s interest and gets readers excited about reading the book. Nina Sullivan - a young, beautiful, and ambitious lady is determined to work hard and make enough money to sustain her sick mother. Nina’s love for her mother keeps her fighting to stay alive when she is coerced into a drug cartel at a time when a serial sniper is on a killing spree in her area. Is there a connection between the cartel and the sniper? Gordon X Graham held me spellbound in this fabulously written action thriller.
The book contains interesting characters who are flawed and not superheroes. It is easy to feel empathy for them as they navigate the dangers and snares of the world they live in. The themes explored in this book cut across several subgenres. It is definitely an action thriller with elements of medical, political, military, and psychological thrillers. Therefore, it will appeal to a wide variety of audience. The vivid details of settings, scenes, and events in the story evoked imagery for me, and I could easily imagine a film being made from the story. The book was evidently exceptionally well-researched with the incorporation of settings in different continents of the world, giving it an international appeal.
It gives readers an insight into how high-level crimes are sometimes perpetrated with the knowledge and connivance of security agents. It exposes the dog-eat-dog rivalry in some corporate organizations, and how rather than provide support for one another, the knowledge of someone’s weakness can be a stronghold for blackmail and coercion. In Heroin(e), nobody can be trusted.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was engaging, captivating, and enthralling. There were so many twists and turns in the plot that I was never quite sure in which direction the author was heading. I held my breath as I read. I was unsure of who would survive the siege and who would save the day. The ending was gratifying and unexpected. I never saw it coming.
I think the book was professionally edited though I did notice a few non-distracting typographical errors. I would recommend this book to adults because of the detailed description of violence and a moderate amount of profanity. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it was a captivating read.
