One to go Review

The Story:
Tom Booker is a new attorney at a powerful Washington law firm.  Texting while driving across Memorial Bridge, he loses control and crashes into an oncoming minivan carrying his own daughter and three of her friends.  The minivan tips up on two wheels, about to flip over into the Potomac.  Time freezes, he’s alone on the bridge.  A young couple approaches and offers him a re-wind.  The crash would be averted, the children saved.  All he must do is kill someone every two weeks—anyone—a “soul exchange.”  A moment later, Tom is back in his spinning car, but avoids the deadly crash.  He laughs about the hallucination, attributing it to bumping his head on the steering wheel when his car came to an abrupt stop.  But his encounter wasn’t a hallucination.  Two weeks later, the minivan driver is brutally murdered.  Tom receives a text: one down, four to go.  He has never shot—much less owned—a gun in his life, and now must turn himself into a serial killer or his daughter and her friends will die.

Praise for One To Go:

“Fast-paced and extremely interesting, readers are introduced to a young attorney in Washington, DC. Breaking the law while texting as he’s driving, he soon finds himself in the center of a nightmare of biblical proportions…A very strange, dark, intense tale that actually spotlights (in an odd way) the risks and horrors that come on a daily basis from someone texting while driving. Even though this is a fictional tale, it really brings the point home. The angels/demons, whichever title these two people claim, are keeping a tally so Tom can’t cheat, and readers won’t be able to look away. This is a completely unique suspense novel; while you hold your breath waiting for the next shoe to drop, the reality sets in.”
 —Suspense Magazine
 
“Educated, avid readers who like to contemplate momentous issues and encounter the worst horrors imaginable when they are safely distanced by the covers of a book (or the off switch of a tablet) will find plenty of both in the thought-provoking entertainment of Mike Pace’s One to Go.”
 —Washington Independent Review of Books
 
“well this was quite the ride.
In Mike Pace's deeply thrilling paranormal-ish novel, One to Go Tom Booker finds himself with an impossible choice to make. While texting and driving, he loses control of his vehicle, hitting a minivan that was carrying his daughter, her friends, driven by his sister-in-law. Before the minivan flipped over the bridge though, time stood still. And Tom was given a choice. Either he could let his little girl die, along with her friends, OR he could kill someone every two weeks to make up for the loss of those souls. Thinking he was having some sort of crazy hallucination, Tom chooses his daughter. Not thinking much of it until two weeks later when his sister-in-law (the driver) is found brutally murdered. So if he doesn't kill someone, anyone, in two weeks, his daughter and her friends are in serious danger, and so on. Pace has quite the imagination, and I enjoyed every bit of it.”

Today I will be doing a review on a book called one to go. It is a very unique and thrilling book, one of the best that I have had the chance to get my hands on and read. If you like thriller books and books that will have you on edge this book is for you!
