Infinity Point

by Adam Hoss

Engineers digging a water tunnel under Manhattan make a startling discovery: a cave full of bodies burned beyond recognition. Struggling actress Nikole Fink, a Xanax-addicted former child star, becomes convinced that one of the corpses belongs to her estranged mother. Following a trail of clues that takes them across the globe, from the lava fields of Iceland to the desolation of Infinity Point, Nikole and her sister set out on a journey to unravel a long-buried family secret, only to be targeted by the same shadowy forces that orchestrated their mother's demise.

Quirky and lyrical, Infinity Point is a beautifully-written literary thriller full of misadventure and suspense, seedy locales and eccentric characters, including a magician who can make the Moon disappear, an internet troll hunter, cults, secret societies, graverobbers, Hitler impersonators, and a self-described "gravity thief" who claims the ability to control physics - and kill the past.

Reviews

[PD PL · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good read that was a bit out of my usual genre, but the author surprised me with how well he establishes an odd assortment of characters and carries each of them to closure by the end. Especially noteworthy are 2 detectives that offer comic relief in Wally and Akira. The author also frequently employs along lists of words or phrases used to describe a setting, sometimes they are cumbersome for the reader to follow but the effort put forth concisely describing the settings is refreshing -- you get quick hits of description instead of drawn out ones. The main character's drug use is also interestingly written in how it is non-dramatically explained and how she nonchalantly copes with it -- even during the times when she is obviously an addicted mess. The end was a bit confusing as all the plot points are finalized, but overall I look forward to read more by this guy.

The author sure has a way with words. Each sentence is so descriptive and whimsical, you lose yourself. And the characters are so vivid and just real that it's almost like you can expect them to be actual people. Definitely a fun read.

I received this book free for an honest review. It is a good book but so confusing at times. The ending was not what I expected except for the sisters
