This book is a clever mix of all the genres listed above and includes suspense and action-filled chapters, as well as delivering what (I think) all paranormal fans really want: MI5 for mutants. Go find a safe place, and then open the second letter. Along with this body, you have inherited certain problems and responsibilities. Just because you are not me does not make you safe. … You are probably aware of this next part already, since if you are reading this then you have survived several immediate threats, but you are in danger. And so the story starts with a letter from the previous Myfanwy to the current inhabitor of her former body.
Myfanwy has no memories at all – possibly amnesia, but you discover that this has been not only prophesied, but caused deliberately. Automatically you’re thinking WHAAAAAT? But that’s not where the book starts. This book is part mystery, part science fiction, part paranormal, part crime, part fantasy, part thriller – all amazing.Īs you can see in the blurb, the protagonist of the story – Myfanwy (it’s Welsh) Thomas wakes up in a park in London, dripping wet and surrounded by corpses. Charlaine Harris could not have said it any better. They had never steered me wrong with a recommendation so I had to read it. They also told me that it was his first novel and it was amazing. My first reaction was “… seriously? There’s a review on the back of this from THE Charlaine Harris that says ‘I love this book'”. I lived in Canberra at the time (the capital of Australia – no, it’s not Sydney) and the staff at the store said that the author was local.
I remember the trip to the book store where I was recommended this book. In her pocket is a letter from her previous self: Rook Thomas, a superpowered operative in Britain’s most secret of secret agencies.Īnd then someone tries to kill her. “Dear you, the body you are wearing used to be mine”Ī woman awakens in a London park, dripping wet and surrounded by corpses wearing latex gloves.
