   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Floratina | May 26, 2016 |   Kali helps people die. They always have time to change their mind, but most of them don't. They just want their agony to end. But then, Kali meets Leland, and she is forced to think about the morality of what she does. Are all those suffering also dying? Or is she willing to help those who are suffering in different ways? Can she use her unique skills to help get revenge on those most deserving? "The Euthanist" has it all: twists, kidnapping, torture, serial killers, and an ending so intense that there's no way you will see it coming. A psychological thriller on par with Gillian Flynn's Dark Places and a fantastic debut from author Alex Dolan. I was provided an Advance Reader Copy of "The Euthanist" from Diversion Books in exchange for an honest review. (  ) Ellie.Pelto | Jul 7, 2015 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Fiction.
Suspense.
Thriller.
HTML:"Much more than a brilliant debut thriller. Dolan's mile-a-minute story also gets at one of our species' most important issuesâ??can we choose how to die?" (Dylan Schaffer, author of I Right the Wrongs) In this auspicious debut, Alex Dolan announces himself as a virtuoso of psychological suspense and a rightful heir to masters of the genre like Gillian Flynn and Megan Abbott. Kali helps to end the lives of people with terminal diseases, her reasons her own. But she just helped the wrong person. Leland Moon is an FBI agent who couldn't stop the abduction of his own son. He ropes Kali into a plot to avenge his son and help other victims, putting into a motion a mesmerizing cat-and-mouse game with two ruthless predators. Their mission will make Kali question everything she ever thought she know about herself. And the last life she ends may be her own . . . "Grabbed me from the first page and showed no signs of letting go. Dark and sinewy, topical and timeless, laced with rich characterization and gallows humor, it showcases Dolan as a thriller writer to watch and follow." â??Louis Bayard, bestselling author of Courting Mr. Lincoln "Alex Dolan makes an engrossing debut with The Euthanist . . . Dolan hooks readers from the very start, ratcheting up the tension and suspense until the shocking ending. As a thriller writer, Alex Dolan is set to be one of the best." â??Fresh Fiction "[An] action-packed story . . . Arriving with eerily uncanny timing, Alex Dolan's debut novel, The Euthanist, tackles the prickly topic of death with dignity." â??San Jose Mercu Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Warning: The synopsis that's provided with this book spoils more than half of the book. If you don't like your books spoiled, I suggest you skip it.
But seriously, I don't understand why any publisher/author would decide to tell so much on the back cover. Is it not meant to make you curious enough to buy the book? Then why tell exactly everything already. Why would I buy the book if I already know exactly what's going to happen
Luckily, I hadn't read the blurb and just a review which made me curious. And when I started reading this novel about an Angel of Death who happens to stumble on the wrong patient after which her life won't be same, I got immediately into the story. A few pages in and I was thinking 'wow, this is going to be good'. Unfortunately, the rest of the novel couldn't keep it up as I had hoped it would.
The writing was nice enough but in the second half I did get annoyed with the story. The guy I think was supposed to be the good guy is so annoying and their plan didn't make much sense.
So, the start was very promising but mainly in the second half the story kind of lost me.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! (
