by A.E. Albert

Author: Joannes Rhino

Genre: Mystery/Thriller/Suspense

James is a typical young man in his twenties.  He smokes too much, wakes up with one too many hangovers and despises his job.  Yet he is lost in the past, his heart firmly anchored in memories and he is unable to truly live in the present. 

As James struggles to deal with his former life, he begins to suspect that more is going on. As nightmares begin to plague his nights, an unsettling mystery unfolds by day.  Fearing for his sanity, James begins a mission in search of the truth, all the while terrified the answer lies at the bottom of his descent to madness.

What determines our reality?  Is it simply defined by our perceptions and worldview?  Do others opinions and viewpoints really matter when it comes to our own little bubbles in the universe? 

No matter the convincing construct or deep belief we may put in our own realities, some truths are fixed and will come crashing down on us whether we like it not. The Unseen Face engages the reader to think beyond what is tangible and ponder the power of the human mind.

The author begins the story with a disturbing mystery that keeps you reading until the climactic end.  The reader joins James in his internal struggle as he desperately searches for answers.  

The plot stays on track, no useless scenes or fluff. The story reveals itself naturally, through action and dialogue.  I enjoyed the many twists and turns this dark tale takes, driving the reader mad until they too have solved the mystery.  I enjoyed the read and recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery.
