My Thoughts: Every now and then I go through my Amazon library and use Random.org to pick a “random read” in order to read some of the books I've picked up for myself; that is what this book is, a random read.

Apparently the editing was random, too. I noticed the following typos, many of which should have been caught by spellcheck: thier; “taught fishing line” should be taut; Theif repeatedly during a single paragraph but correct elsewhere; whooly (wooly); volume nob (knob); phalically... I don't think phallic can be made into an adverb, but if it were, it would have two “l”s in phallic. This was just in the first half of the book.

I had a really difficult time finishing this one, because it wasn't engaging me and I kept falling asleep. I had a hard time following the plot and it just didn't make sense to me. I might try again someday, but... I just can't finish this one right now.

Disclosure: I picked this book up on Amazon during a free promotion. I am not aware of having had any contact with this author, and no review has been solicited, but I am happy to provide an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Synopsis: A young man on the brink of true adulthood experiences the trauma of his life when a trespasser breaks into his home. Sebastion Redfield and the psychiatrist assigned to help him recover from the break-in begin to unravel a more disturbing truth about his ordeal: that someone, or something, has been hunting him.

Thalo Blue (Jason McInytre)

Sebastion Redfield is being hunted. After a terrifying break in and attack, Sebastion sees a psychiatrist to help him recover from this ordeal. But soon they discover this is no random attack. And what he is about to uncover is disturbing. Going from the past to present, twists and turns I was not sure what was going to happen next. I was at the edge of my seat until the very end.

An all night nail-biting psychological page turning read.Jason McIntyre knows how to get into the readers mind, and draws you deep into the minds of his characters. A writing style so unique, I love the in depth dramatic twisted style he has. This will not be the last McIntyre book I read. ( )

This is an intricately woven tale rich in imagery. If I had to classify the genre, I'd say it's a psychological thriller with a paranormal twist. Yet, the depth of the characters, the emotions they both experience and evoke in the reader, and the issues explored within the plot makes it impossible to limit this story to any specific genre.

Thalo Blue is not an easy or a fast read. The story requires commitment from the reader. Skimming over the descriptions would be a loss of something almost tangible in their meaning. At times, I felt as if I'd slipped into an alternate reality, the edges of an acid trip with the colors of the world speaking a language of their own.

The storyline slips from present to various points in the past, from reality to something not quite real. Stick with it and you'll be rewarded with a story that is an experience all its own. ( )
