Contemplate your course of action if you were aware of the precise day of your demise. Then consider how you might be affected by that knowledge. That world is the subject of this book. ( )

The beginning in a little slow, but it quickly progresses into a fast-paced bizzaro sci-fi that can't be put down. ( )

Dare To Know

By, James Kennedy

Format: Physical Paperback Advance Readers Copy

Obtained: Giveaway on Goodreads with request for an honest review

This is the debut novel from James Kennedy, Dare to Know is a highly entertaining thrill ride. I found the beginning to be a bit of a slow start and a bit difficult to get into at first. You bounced around between past and present to find out the origins of how they figure up when you will die so accurately. It is a bit of a trip going through the life of the narrator only to find out he should have died 23 minutes ago.

As the story progresses the speed and intensity picks up a little bit slowly at first but then it snowballs into an exciting suspenseful and a bit scary to think if this actually could happen and have this kind of math or service. And I'm not just talking about the math involved as I am terrible at math and just thinking about it is terrifying enough.

I don't really want to give away everything that happens in this book. As I try to write as close to spoiler-free as possible. Though, I have barely scratched the surface at this point.

In My Opinion, Dare to Know deserves a read. Definitely pick up your copy as soon as you have a chance and hold onto your seat. I have a feeling that this will become a popular book if not a book with a huge cult following.

Do you think that you have the fortitude in order to dare to know your time?

I give this book 4 thanatons out of 5.

Until Next Time,
