A review by stewie
Blister by Jeff Strand

5.0

If I had to pick one thing that I liked most about Jeff Strand's writing (and it would be very tough, I assure you), it would be how real his characters are. He has this wonderful knack of making them believable. They aren't superheroes. They have self-doubt, insecurity, fear, and all the other things most people experience in life, and Strand eloquently injects the real-life emotions into the people he creates. That skill is on full display in Blister, his latest novel.

The magic of Blister is that it goes exactly where you think it will go, until it doesn't. Granted, there are a few turns in the book that you may or may not see coming, but even if you aren't surprised by where Strand takes you, the journey still kicks much ass.
