Reviews
"A fast-paced, action thriller with a ton of suspense, distinct and memorable characters, and a unique setting."
Nocturne in Ashes by Joslyn Chase is a wonderful thriller that will have you gripped by suspense all the way through. A fast-paced novel, each chapter is told from a different character’s point of view – there are quite a few, but Joslyn has done a marvelous job of keeping them separate while integrating them seamlessly into the story. Each character has their personality and is likable in their own way, and the action will keep you on the edge of your seat. Some twists and turns will throw you off track, but there are plenty of clues – you just have to put them together. This is compelling reading, written in a way that transports you into the story, experiencing everything the characters are going through, and several subplots that all tie neatly into the main one. The chapters are short, making you think you can get away with reading one or two a night, but trust me, once you start reading, you’ll be up long into the night, desperate to find out what happens. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to embroil themselves in a heart-pounding environmental thriller.
"I couldn't put this book down, reading late into the night and every chance I could sneak away from other things that people call important."
