Amanda's Eyes Review, Tour and Giveaway



Think what you see is what you get? Better think again.

Waking up is the pits when you come to in a hospital with a broken arm, a colorful assortment of abrasions and contusions, and a face swathed in bandages. It’s even worse if you can’t remember what hit you.

The bad and the ugly are crime reporter Amanda “A.J.” Gregson’s business. But learning she had a ringside seat for an explosion that killed two agents of the Continental Intelligence and Investigative Service (CIIS), incinerated an entire block of warehouses, and did so much damage to her eyes they had to be surgically removed? Well, that gives the darker side of life a whole new meaning.

Haunted by elusive nightmares, A.J. waits for her transplant and struggles to remember the events leading up to the fateful night of September 4, 2075. Weeks crawl by without a glimmer, before memory finally floods back the night before surgery, every detail brutally clear.

The explosion had been the work of the Ferrymen.

“The Ferrymen. My not-so-magnificent obsession for more than a year. Only a cataclysm could have made me forget. I guess you could call them hitmen. You could also call Einstein a math whiz. Think ruthless. Think unstoppable. Think killers so proficient ‘caught the ferry’ was fast replacing ‘bought the farm’ in common usage, and you have the Ferrymen in a nutshell.”

The transplant surgery goes off without a hitch—welcome news, because A.J. is raring for a rematch with Hell’s Boatmen. But contrary to popular belief, what you see isn’t always what you get. Take her new eyes, for example. Those baby blues may look perfectly normal, but they possess a power that turns her world upside down—the power to see into the hidden dimensions of the human heart.

 When the Sight unmasks the mastermind behind the Ferrymen, the unveiling is as stunning as it is unbelievable. The revelation sets her on course for a second head-collision with evil. Will she survive the final encounter?

~My Review~ 

I was first struck by the stunning cover, I am normally not that into covers but this one blew me away.  The eye really set the tone for the story that was to come. Kathy DiSanto takes you into the world of Amanda or A.J. Gregson.  A.J.  has been injured in an explosion that causes her to become blind.  But in this futuristic novel medical technology can fashion her a new set, a copy of her own eyes...well sort of...........   Her new eyes have some surprises and sets her on a journey to uncover many truths.  I really loved this book from the start it drew me in and I finished it in only two settings.  Ms. DiSanto gave us a wonderful book that although futuristic, it manages to be completely believable.  The characters were well rounded and developed nicely as was the storyline.  I can not wait to read more from Ms. DiSanto!

  2. Hi, crunchy Momma (a.k.a., Maggie)! (Is that a great handle, or what?) Thanks a bunch for taking the time to read and review AMANDA'S EYES! Really happy to hear you enjoyed the book. I also have two sons. All grown up now, but still occasionally ornery! :-)
