5.0 out of 5 stars Tense with an original plot

This tense thriller was entertaining to read, with lots of unexpected twists and a fun writing style. The VR environment was an interesting originality, especially in the age of AI. Something between "Total Recall" and "Assassin's Creed". Fun!

This was a strong start to the Ben Lorloch Mystery Thriller series, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed about the genre… and had that mystery element that I was looking for. P. Portraits has a strong writing style and was glad I read this. I hope to read more in this series and from the author.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wowzers! What an impressive novel.

While it took me a bit to get into the author’s writing style, once I did I was fully immersed. It honestly felt like I was in the mc’s ‘head’ (no pun intended lol), and the more the story went on - the more intense it got.

Someone in film needs to get a hold of this because I could definitely see it becoming a movie or series!

5 stars- this is definitely one of a kind.
