The Blind Spots by Thomas Mullen

5.0

---

Imagine a world where everyone has gone blind and can only "see" using technology that downloads images to your brain. Combine this with a murderer who is bypassing the technology to avoid being identified and you have a very original kind of thriller.

An incredibly exciting and gripping story.

There is something completely terrifying about how real this concept is. The idea is so unique yet I could really imagine what it would be like if this happened in today's world. I found myself invested in the characters and addicted to the twisty plot. I think that dystopian ideas can be tricky to introduce to readers because you need a lot of information to understand how the world has changed, but I found that Thomas Mullen has done a great job at explaining the situation gradually.

If enjoy a thriller with a twist then this is a definite must-read.

Thank you NetGalley and Little Brown Book Group for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
