‘Glimmer of Hope’ by J.A. Andrews is a little different to his psychological thrillers that I have read previously. Saying that, it doesn’t mean it is any less addictive for me anyway. This book is more on the edge, by that I mean he has created a thriller that is exciting and entertaining by being risque.
Maybe a book not everyone would enjoy due to the inclusion of sex and swingers clubs, escorts, drugs and everything around these things.
Alecia Preen is struggling, she has moved for a fresh start and money is scarce. Out of necessity, she begins to charge lonely men for her services online. She meets Jake Parker, who has her role-playing as a psychiatrist and she learns about a club for the wealthy, Sordida, but warns her away. Alecia, upon visiting the club finds the opulence and decadence of the wealthy a place she is pulled too. Sordida has a great influence on her, not all good ones. She learns a lot about herself while living the Sordida life.
There are some very realistic role-playing scenes in Glimmer of Hope, so realistic I could see them in my head and feel the emotions of Jake too. J.A Andrews is an excellent writer and this story is so vivid in it’s telling that you lose yourself for the time you are reading.
It isn’t just about sex and drugs though, there is a mysterious Mr X who creates the mystery for this story. This is the final thread to the web the author has spun into one of his usual shocking ends.
Expect the unexpected and enjoy the ride!
Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources and J.A.Andrews for my copy of this excellent jaw-dropping read so I could give you my thoughts today.
