Book Reviews

“The plotting of an experiment which would change the world. The main character (Jeremy) believed he found a way to experiment on a hypothesis he has about individuals with mental illness. He plots an intricate experiment to prove his point. A fast read which kept me intrigued throughout. I would recommend it to anyone who deals with mental illness and it's consequence to society.”

“This story is absolutely astounding... as well as terrifying... as you are drawn into the tale you wonder how the idea developed. It certainly is one for your must read list.”

Ann M.

“Excellent story. Very interesting premise a great stand-alone novel or hopefully the first in a series. Andre Gonzalez is a great new writer; check out his previous books (Insanity, The Burden & Replicate)”

Ray C.

“This is the first book I've read by Mr. Gonzalez. I received a copy of this novelette from the author.

Since I 'never' read horror I went out on the proverbial limb and tried this. It is a book that is short in length but filled with suspense, a plot that grabs you by the throat and shakes you, and characters who are truly evil. Something I'd think all lovers of horror will appreciate!

I highly recommend you try the work of Andre Gonzalez if you haven't already.”

“This is one of those reads that will keep you up all night because you just can't put it down. Very original, and kept me on the edge of my couch! Great trilogy read.”

Katie Gooch

“Captivating ending! Already anxious to read the next installment. A slow beginning with an interesting plot. One that takes us to a huge " what if" until you are taken all the way through. I highly recommend but be prepared to keep reading!”

Gmarmet

“This series has been ripped from the headlines. asking whether mass shooters are murderers or mentally ill. After Jeremy and his legal team successfully get a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity, Jeremy is moved to a mental institution to remain in custody until such a time as he is judged able to return to society. Locked up away from all family and without any friends, Jeremy tries to follow the directions of the institute's director to gain promotion away from his padded room and straight jacket. Learning how to manipulate the system, Jeremy begins to dream and scheme on how he is going to escape.
What makes this story so poignant is its relevancy to the problems we see in our society today. Are mass shooters just evil, or are they truly insane. Jeremy swears that what he has done was an attempt to change the judicial system and society's views on mental health. So, is he really insane?

I received an ARC of this ebook. I submit this review because this ebook and the entire series are AWESOME!!”

“Martin has a miserable life, he lost his daughter 22 years ago and simply drinks every night to numb the pain. When his mom asked him to take her to a new antique store in town. Not s outing will change his life forever.

I don’t want to spoil anything, but let me say this book once I started I couldn’t stop reading, it grabbed me and didn’t let go. I was hanging on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next and was not let down!”

Tonya Gillon

“Wow this is a Fantastic read. Martin lost his daughter izzy in 1996 and gets an offer to go back and save her life can he do it. This is a fantastic read. That will grab you and have you inthralled. I Love this type of read. The Author has done a fantastic job at bringing this story to fruition. The characters were brought out great as well as the surroundings. I definitely recommend this read.”

Shauna Joesten

“I just completed reading a short story, A Poisoned Mind by Andre Gonzalez and it excellent! Engrossing. Cliff-Hanger! Read Ending Twice! I did not have the advantage as I am sure some by having read the pre-cursor to this book called Followed Home. I’m sure that provided background context. However, it was the dialogue and the two main characters that constructed this novella. The ending I did not see coming, period. It was only several sentences that was needed given all that proceeded to be thunderstruck. “…Colonel Griffins sat down in the old, wooden chair and closed his eyes. They’re here and this time is going to be bad. A tear rolled down his cheek as the shock of his encounter started to wear off…” I am hopeful for a third book, a continuation of the novella. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A Poisoned Mind.”

Tex

“I have friends who were at the Aurora theater, so when I read that the author was there, I was hesitant. But this is a fantastic read. It's really well done - by the end, I found empathy for the main character and I didn't see, initially, how that would work. It's also very interesting in watching the evolution of the main character's point of view and how he ends up where he does.

Well done. I'm excited to see what happens in the next book.”

J.L. Cartwright

“For such a short story, there is so much packed in to every single page.

I will start this off by saying that I am, generally speaking, not very fond of science fiction. I find that a certain element of realism is necessary, for me, to really connect with a story and for it to be able to burrow its way into my soul and stick with me. Many science fiction novels are so far out there (often literally, out in space), that it's just too difficult for me to connect.

Andre Gonzalez has created a short story here that has utterly captivated me. By beginning the story with a working man who has dreams and aspirations, who works hard to build up a solid career and a loving relationship, the story immediately has a homey resonance to it. When aliens were introduced, I was already swept up in the character and easily followed into this foreign territory.

By the end of this short story - which I devoured in less than an hour - I was hoked on the concept and am eagerly looking forward to starting the parent book, "Followed Home."

I am a huge fan of Andre Gonzalez, and am excited to highly recommend this read along with his trilogy, the "Insanity" series.”

Leigh Anne Jensen

“This prequel grabbed my attention right away and didn't let go. I'm still pondering what this could lead to next. I definitely want to read the next book to find out. I recommend this to anyone that enjoys a mystery served with a side of horror.”

Ami A.

“Never read this author because I believe this is his first book but I will keep my eyes open for his future books since I did enjoy this book. It kept my interest to the very end. Even though there are some scenes in the book that are kind of gory you have to keep on reading just to see what will happen next. What would you do if you knew that there were other beings living among you that in some ways are more advanced in ways. Most of the characters are likable in the book and you feel for them when something happens.

The book has a little bit of everything in it sci-fi, suspense, psych and for that reason I am giving the book a 4.5 because it was really good.”

S.C. French

“Book Three in the Insanity Series by Andre Gonzalez did not disappoint. After finishing Book Two, The Burden, I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen to Jeremy. Wow! Definitely not what I expected.
I love the way Mr. Gonzalez writes. He tells you just enough to keep you interested and wanting for more. He makes you question why. Why different characters are behaving the way they are. Why did Jeremy truly do all that he did? What really were his reasons? I did not get the answers I wanted but I did get a great story.
If you have not read this series or anything by this author I highly recommend that you do so. You will not be disappointed in any way.”

Jan K.

“Oh my what a ride. I want to read it again!”

DMPadilla

“Excellent read. Twists and turns as expected from this author. Made me think about life issues taken for granted. Highly recommended”

Evelyn Frazier

“I rarely read a series but I was very lucky to decide on this one. This author has written these books so that you're looking forward to the next. A great read from start to finish.”

C. A. Gisone

“Have you ever talked to yourself. Were you sure it was you? Do you raise pros and cons in your mind? Most people do. What if the person speaking wasn't you. What if the person in your mind could take control of you. Where did that person come from? Find out before you or the other, kills again. I like Gonzalez. Getting book 2. Yes I like being up all night from fear of losing my mind. LOL. WRITE ON ANDRE.”

Betty

“Insanity:

The opening of the book made me want to find out what led Jeremy to carry out such a horrific crime. The excellent and detailed writing allowed easy access into Jeremy's thoughts and feelings. I especially loved Jeremy's notebook which was written in cursive because it made the story even more visceral and realistic. I look forward to reading more books in this series!

The Burden:

This runaway freight train of a novel drew me in right away. I really enjoyed going behind the scenes of Jeremy's trial because as a reader I was able to delve not only into Jeremy's thoughts but also those of other key players in his trial. I highly anticipate the final chapter in Jeremy's story!

Replicate:

A fitting end to an excellent series! There were a few surprises that I wasn't expecting which was nice. Jeremy's inner thoughts in this final book were especially chilling because it was much more a dialogue than in previous books. I am sad to see the series at its end but am looking forward to reading more by this author!”
