Micaden's Madness by V.F. MasonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Obsession and insanity go hand in hand."
My heart is pounding and just No!
I had to set the book down and step back a couple times - I couldn't breath
Micaden and Emerald's story was an encompassing and potent tale told in both pov's.
Mason exquisitely implemented this dark psychological tale bringing the reader in and captivating them from the opening page to the closing. The storyline has multiple timelines, don't worry it is easy to follow -We travel via "the book" through Emerald's past as she slowly regains some of her memories that were lost in the accident - this gives us just enough sustenance to give the presence some foundation. Then there are the times we spend with Brochan and his memories, this is where we find ourselves catapulted into a tailspin of angst and darkness. Micaden holds most of the present with a few glimpses of how and why he came to be.
The multiple pov's only adds to the telling - It reaffirms the belief that multiple people can see the exact same tragedy but each will see something different - a different cause and effect
I enjoyed the way the story line unfolded - The quiet moments that lulled us into a feeling of serenity and tranquility followed by sudden and unexpected twists and turns that leave us gasping for breath
A must read for those who enjoy dark psychological thrillers
"Is it possible to experience love and hate at the same time for a person?" "Yes, yes it is." - Micaden's Madness
