“Wish I could give this book more than 5 stars!” --Goodreads
It’s not every day you get a friend request from the dead girl haunting your video games. I_AM_KRONOS thrills with a spine-tingling blend of gaming, sci-fi, and supernatural romance. Keven Meyers, gamer and classic underachiever on the fringe of cool, gets a friend request from Sierra Sands, recently deceased and haunting his video games. Sierra is stuck in the Nexus, the center where all the universes and realities collide. She desperately needs Keven’s help to stop Silas, another lost soul using his diabolical understanding of the world between the worlds to prey on gamers.
Goodreads review ★★★★★ Wish I could rate this book as more than 5 stars. Brilliant.
I_AM_KRONOS is a spectacular novel combining aspects of the lives of a group of teens and their lives and interplay with the background of a murder mystery and a discussion of what perhaps comes next. This book had everything, and fit that everything together perfectly.
Gaming references that will suck you in and make you want to pull out those games you dominated years ago - and yes, all of them, from Halo and Assasin's Creed to PokeMon on your old DS - were perfectly placed and fleshed out to pull the reader completely into the lives of the characters.
Deeper discussion adressing the concepts of why we are here or what comes next are addressed, and plausibly rounded out without feeling super pushy or super PC.
All while showing the reader the normal life and times of a great group of kids and all of the connections they share - through parents and siblings, through friends and lovers, through school, sports teams, social circles, social media - through life.
Warning: Do not pick up this book if you have things to do for the next day or two. That said, I can't wait to pass this book on to my friends.
