Thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The way this book follows the first book in the life of Martha Railer. The way she fills her days and is feeling now was brilliantly written. I was looking forwards to reading chapters about her all the time.

All the other things happening in between; I have no idea. I couldn't follow it, it didn't really make sense and I just also didn't have any feelings towards what happened in between the chapters about Martha. I feel like the first book was much better to follow and the story kinda lost me in this book.

Thank you to the author for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This is available now on Amazon Kindle and Kobo.

Blind Isolation is the second book in the Dead Chronicles of Martha Railer, the first being The Dark Stalkers. As with the first book, I really can’t compare it to anything else. Part of the reasoning for that is that there is no dialogue at all. This could be a little jarring at times, but it was also an incredibly bold choice.

I do feel that it worked better in Blind Isolation than it did in Dark Stalkers, although it could just be that I was expecting it and was less surprised. I also thought that it allowed the author to explore grief in a more introspective way. I do wish that there was a little more revelation regarding the mysterious addition, however.

While not a long book, Blind Isolation requires more of a commitment than shorter novels generally do, simply because of the nature of the story. It is an interesting and creatively told story.
