The Mastermind (WaterFyre Rising Book 1) by Nadia Han – Review by katie stapleton

The Mastermind by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was full of detail and intrigue. I absolutely loved that it was a thriller packed with mystery and a surprising connectivity that wrapped it all together nicely. The book centers on Audri – an artist at heart with a traumatic past, and Remi – someone who is part of her past but is closed off to everyone. Ultimately, these two characters bring out each other’s strengths which helps them both grapple with their past.

I really liked the addition of detail surrounding Audri seeing a hypnotherapist to process her trauma. Often, professional care/therapy/mental health topics are skimmed or vaguely alluded to. This book, however, gives the healing journey it’s due. I was happy to see that it was a major part of Audri’s journey.

The romance, the passion, the danger, the mystery – all part of an intriguing read. I am looking forward to the next books in this series. Nadia is a fantastic story teller, weaving in plenty of detail and subplots to keep you guessing until the end!
