Can silence be an enemy??

A thriller like no other, "Silence is an Enemy" will give you a flavour of romance, humor, friendship, deception and a lot of thrill, for sure.

Oli Harrison, former English teacher and an aspiring author, was an average joe, in pretty much every sense of the word. His world changed when he met and fell in love with Isobel, who too fell in love with him, and it becomes hard as a reader to not fall in love with them.

The first few chapters have been crafted so well that you will be able to understand, appreciate and enjoy the chemistry between them.

But one should not forget that it is a thriller and one of the best too. A car crash changes their lives forever. With his fiance on hospital bed, Oli can now only try to fight his inner demons and wish for Isobel's fast recovery.
But is she ever able to recover?

Oli is well surrounded and loved by his family and friends. But do they still trust him now?

Throughout the novel, one can witness the change in the dynamics of the very relation shared by Oli and Isobel. One can also witness the deception, lies and the tragedy that follows it. But was it really a tragedy?
And if so, was it intentional?

I love how incredible of a page turner it becomes as we start approaching the last chapter. The end, will definitely leave you with so many questions but you sure will be having your own theories by then to answer them as well.

I thorougly enjoyed reading this psychological cum sci-fi thriller. It's a must read coming from an incredible writer, Mr. Thomas M. Atherton, who I would like to thank for sending me an e-book copy in exchange for an honest review.

So if you enjoy reading thriller, then this book is sure to take you on a ride!

"You are chosen Sadie, there is no skidding around this mere fact. Fighting it won't change the inevitable. War is here, and it is time you take your place. Or is it truly death that you prefer"

This is a powerful and heartbreaking story of love, politics, authority, and sacrifice!❤

I just love to read stories that have prophecies in them. They make a story ten thousand times more interesting! Sadie, a girl who never explored the world outside of her little garden, suddenly learns that she has been prophesied to marry the new king. But make no mistake as Sadie is no ordinary human! She has powers which even she was unaware of until she met Preston, the prince who was to become the new king.

But will the people of Genai accept her as their queen? Will the kingdom welcome their new queen with open arms? More than anything, will the crown prince ever accept her as his wife???

I really appreciate the very well developed character arcs of not just Sadie and Preston, but also of Lacy and Blaire❤ Honestly, Lacy is my most favorite character❤ (trying very hard to avoid giving any spoilers

"Sometimes a little pain can spark the flame and conjure the memory like a dog cornered with nowhere to run, forced to search for its hereditary instinct and then, attack." -Douglas.W.T.Smith, Shadow of the Wicked

This is the super fascinating story of twin brothers, Jaromir and Talmage, who drifted apart after the death of Agustin, their guardian, and are constantly fighting their inner demons. Both of them have their own dark secrets and have gone through very different journeys.

This is a gripping tale of three kingdoms, which can either be ruled by an Emperor like Jaromir, who has mastered the art of weaponry⚔, or by sorcerers like Pius and Talmage, who have mastered the art of Magick
