Review:

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.

This book is science fiction with suspense, military action, and a little romance. I took me a while to get into Twinkle because of the scientific, military, and technical information but after about 100 pages, the day after the fireworks were shown, it was difficult to put down.

S.J. Parkinson’s writing style made it easy for me to fly through the pages after the beginning. It flows well and is easy to follow even with a lot of characters.

The characters are well developed. No one knows how we would react in such a situation but I would hope that more of would be like Blake, who takes matters into his own hands to get things done to help others. The author touched on how some people would take advantage of the situation and/or become violent but he focused more on the people who were trying to handle the situation and help save the U.S. and the rest of the world.

I definitely recommend Twinkle especially if you like thriller/suspense novels.
