"SOMETIMES THE BIGGEST LIES ARE THE ONES WE LIVE
While Brian DeLouise was working the graveyard shift at a conspiracy theory-crazed radio station his wife was alley-catting around Washington, DC. But a cheating wife and a dead-end job no longer made him angry or depressed. He was just numb. It took a daring brush with death to awaken his senses and a few clicks on Google to begin a journey to recapture a love he believed was gone forever. Brian finds his lost lover in a rundown mansion on the windswept bluffs of Cape Cod, where he must confront a fast approaching evil while he risks losing everything he now cherishes."
There was a lot of story to this book — and it got to be a bit much. There was just so much going on. There was the first part, with Brian in his dead end job with a cheating wife. I think this alone could have been a great plot with a bit of personalization. Then there was the part with finding his long lost love and winning her back. With some originality, this would make another great plot. And finally, there's the suspense (or 'evil') part.
Character development in Brian is awesome, but the supporting characters are lacking... character, I guess. I think this could be because of how much story Schindler tries to fit into the one book. I think that if the book were to focus on one plot, rather than three, the characters would be stronger.
I did like how all the characters were named after Shakespeare characters (yes, I picked up on that!). Richard, Portia, Juliette.
But overall, I was slightly disappointed. The synopsis had real promise — I was so excited to see what 'evil' was conspiring. Like I said, I think if this story would have been broken down a bit and... filtered, I think is the best word, we could have potentially had three concrete plots.
