I cannot believe there are any negative reviews for this book…I personally could not put it down once I started reading! It was exciting up until the very end with an original plot and intriguing characters! I hope there will be a third book since I just finished the second :).

This takes place in the near future. The themes are religious cults, pain management and bio hacking. Really kept my attention.

Chilling.
I can’t wait to read the next one. I thought of it makes me wonder if fiction can be a reality. I highly recommend this book.
The pain colony
A great book, I really enjoyed reading it. Very fast paced, and very intriguing. I will be looking forward to reading the second book in this series.
Great read
Very good and a different kind of story. Thought provoking
Surprise ending
Interesting medical mystery book. Some of the info is true - and as a person who lives with chronic pain I was intrigued to see the genetic code that I had been DNA tested for in this story. Kind of a scary story - because although some of the technology already exists this book delves deeper into the things that might be in our future - good things & very scary genetic “tampering”!
Captivated from page 1
I was captivated from page 1, and that intrigue never left. I am amazed at author’s 2019 vision and connections of pertinent topics of today. Many reviewers seemed put off by the twist at the end. Not me, I loved the ending. It made complete sense and I didn’t feel betrayed, misled or manipulated.
