Alterations by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
After reading the synopsis, Alterations intrigued me. The author chose to start with a slow build then implementing twists and turns to keep the reader guessing and waiting for more. I appreciated the various characters and their points of views. It was cohesive and while some areas left you with questions, they were answered masterfully later in the story. Some of the events left my jaw hitting the floor. The idea of an implant that the character Dr.Kite made is not far-fetched in the real world, making this story a hair tingling possibility. I am looking forward to reading the next book and follow the trilogies progression.
