Inkblot

Enjoyed the book, fell in love with the characters, hoping for a sequel!

A mix of unexpected twists and laugh-out-loud humor make this psychological thriller a must for your nightstand. Also, it's a great reminder that you are giving off more personal information about yourself than you likely realize while on the net, and those who have their hands on that data aren't always watched, or to be trusted...

A decent beginning to the suspense genre

The cover may not be much to talk about, but I cannot imagine how they could dress up the inkblot to make it more eye-catching. Which is ironic since Ronnie makes the interpretation of inkblots as a form of marketable social media. inkBLOT may not look like much, but holy cow, turning pages as quickly as possible has never been this addictive!

THE GOOD BITS
{Just the right amount of suspense to die for!} A good suspense is worth its weight in gold - and I love it when I stumble across one! inkBLOT may seem simple and straightforward, but I never quite knew what would happen next. Each character had their own quirks that raised suspicions, but their alibis seemed airtight and indestructible. The genius about inkBLOT is that the writing is so easy-going that it sucks you into the suspense before you can even think about stopping.

THE BAD BITS
{Not enough inkblots!} I was a little disappointed that inkblots did not play as big of a role in inkBLOT as expected. It might have been cool to have seen sample inkblots - even as an bonus feature. Ronnie seemed to have created such an awesome app that I want to check it out, although it is a little scary that how telling inkblots are!

{The predictable villain.} The suspense was great up until the ending started drawing near - and it seemed inevitable as to whose twisted mind was behind the murders. Predicability ruins the fun - and I like to be kept in the dark until the final AHA! moment. However, the fact that I got a personal backseat with each character involved without knowing at first who may be the bad guy still gives me a shiver when I got the end.

THE OVERALL
There were times when inkBLOT tries too hard to be modern-day cool and tech-savvy and comes across as a little over-the-top, but overall I think the story had enough suspense to carry the day. I can see inkBLOT as a nice introductory for those want a little suspense in their reading pile - and it may appeal to younger readers of the Facebook generation and give caution as to what we reveal about ourselves online.
