Quick Fix
Three teens are caught in a bioterrorism plot to destroy Seattle involving a diet drink that kills.
After accidentally breaking up with her boyfriend, Marley is ready to do anything to get her life back on track. When a new health clinic called Quick Fix opens in Seattle offering probiotic elixirs that supposedly burn off extra weight, Marley becomes their willing victim. After her first treatment, she loses five pounds in one week—and becomes so sick that she faints at work. But Marley is thrilled with the results, especially knowing that her ex-boyfriend is mobbed by girls every day.
When Marley’s best friend Ellie finds out the truth about Marley’s sudden weight loss, Ellie is concerned for her friend’s safety. Ellie knows better than anyone that there’s no such thing as a quick fix, but Marley’s not so sure. For Marley, the risk seems worth it—until the elixir takes control. By the time Marley discovers the truth about Thin Shot, she’s almost dead, and the only person who can save her is the last person she thought she could trust.
Melt away unwanted pounds with a probiotic elixir.
Thin Shot—the diet drink that kills.
A thrilling companion to Narcosis Room.

Quick Fix is one of those novels that grabs you from the very beginning and just keeps hanging on page after page and before you know it you have reached that last page wondering what just happened.
Quick Fix is told from multiple points of view by some amazing and awesome characters. It was all so amazing just trying to figure out how all the characters and the storylines were going to come together in the end.
Quick Fix is a very intriguing read with lots and lots of suspense on almost every page. It is spellbinding. The twists just kept popping up and you are racing to the end to see how it all turns out. In some ways, Quick Fix was very predictable but there were some pretty big twists that I didn’t see coming and never in a million years could have guessed. Needless to say, I loved it and it worked so very well.
A young girl Marley is very upset and surprised when her rock star boyfriend breaks up with her. Marley begins to believe that he broke up with her because of how she looks and that she is not rock star girlfriend material. So when a new clinic, Quick Fix opens up Marley is one of the first to sign up for a trial to lose weight.
Marley begins to lose way fast so fast that she passes out. The shots are taking away more than a few pounds they are slowly taking away her life. But Marley is happy with the results that the shots are giving her looks so she continues to take the shots until it is too late, or is it? Will Marley figure out the truth about the shots before they take more than a few pounds from her?
I enjoyed Quick Fix so much more than I thought I would so I am highly recommending it to all horror fans. One-click your copy of Quick Fix today!

If only a quick fix really did work....
Quick Fix is not only a gripping read about an awful epidemic, it highlights how easy it is to exploit people. The ones with low self-esteem, the ones desperately seeking approval and the need to fit in or be perfect. It also shows how easy it is to manipulate and hide in plain sight.
Marley is a classic example of low self-esteem and is a product of social media and the pressure that society puts on people. I like her.......I also want to shake her as she's perfect as she is.
Written before Covid-19 came about, Quick Fix is pretty accurate in the measures that are put in place for outbreaks of infectious disease, it's kind of eerie.
I was hooked from the start, it had me thinking and guessing the end result.

What if you could melt away the fat with one quick fix? Would you take it?
The book is filled with the simple narratives and perspectives of the various characters; however, the story seemed to be centered on Dean and Marley, a couple that breaks up at the start. Marley, a self-conscious gal, takes the quick fix to be the girl she thinks Dean deserves. But at what cost?
The concept certainly was interesting. It’s an easy read for the most part, but it takes a while and there were a few too many characters cluttering the story. The plot was further consumed by complexity and scrutiny. Although this wasn’t quite what I expected, it’s a decent thriller overall.
