Step Five

Rate this book
Angie Kruger knows the steps to recovery. She just can't get beyond the first part of the process. She believes taking a position as a security officer at an off-world mining facility will keep her sober, and at the same time punish her guilt and grief. It works well enough. Her self-imposed sentence is uncompromising, and she knows she will never drink again.

Then several gruesome murders take place in the facility, and everyone begins to exhibit increasingly violent behavior. Angie realizes that solving this problem and keeping everyone safe may be her only chance for some kind of redemption. But with every grisly scene she investigates, her progress through the steps evaporates.

I have read lots of books but this one has won my heart.
"Step Five" is an outstanding book crafted by Pat Ewick.

It's a novel and it's specially written for adults. The book talks about steps to recovery which is a major need of our time. Everyone wants perfect ideas or ways to get rid of their sufferings and problems.

The cover shows everything related to the book. The Author has depicted this book in simple and standard language which made it a must-read book for everyone.

The story goes on with the protagonist named "Angie Kruger" who thought that she is guilty and responsible but there are lots of other things which created violence.

Therefore, in this book, you will get to know about the investigations done by the protagonist herself.

Grab and read this book to evaporate the steps of her life. Highly recommended book. Kudos to the Author.

This book… is literally a gem.

This book… is literally a gem. How else do I express it? I had been planning to read it for a while, and yet the moment I did was the perfect moment: Step Five helped me work through some trauma and heal in ways I had not realized I needed healing. So, just on that note, I have reason to be grateful to the author.

For the book itself, it uses an intense blend of sharp-edged prose and flashbacks to build a story of grief, trauma, and growth — that rivals the actual plot of a mysterious rage-inducing illness on a faraway asteroid. It’s a story of corporate greed and insensitivity, the struggles of law enforcement, the pain of addiction, and the travails of mental health. The ending is… well, I would wish for it to be different, and I hope it is for people in our world, but it makes a sort of terrible sense.

As a whole, this book is itself like discovering precious ore — its true worth is revealed when one takes the time to appreciate it.
