AFTER SHE WROTE HIM by Sulari Gentill is a thriller novel that takes you on an adventure in the mind of two authors like no fiction novel has ever done before! I was hooked on the first page and finished it within a day. This short trade paperback book is an amazing read that switched back and forth between two authors who both describe each other as they write about them. What did you say? That is right, they both are writing about a character, and each one is the other’s character. Confused yet? Well, you will not be once you pick it up to read.
Madeleine d’Leon is writing about her new character Edward McGinnity. She cannot get enough of him. She actually spends more time with him than her friends or concerned husband. She thinks about him all day as she keeps her laptop close to her so she can write. He is even in her dreams.
Edward McGinnity cannot stop thinking about his newest character, Madeleine. She is all he can think about all day. His newest creation in his next novel is sure to be a hit. But then there is danger, and he relies on his fictional character to help him through some tough days. As Madeleine relies on him as well to help her.
This short thriller is very well written and easy to know who is talking and who is not. I love the way Gentill can switch between the two main characters in a blink of an eye without confusing the reader. This makes it top-notch writing! AFTER SHE WROTE HIM ends in a way that was very astonishing but in a strange way, I liked it. Sulari Gentill is a thriller writer like none I have read before that will keep you on your toes through every page!
If you get lost in a book, be sure you can find your way back...
Madeleine d'Leon doesn't know where Edward came from. He is simply a character in her next book. But as she writes, he becomes all she can think about. His charm, his dark hair, his pen scratching out his latest literary novel...
Edward McGinnity can't get Madeleine out of his mind, softly smiling, infectiously enthusiastic, and perfectly damaged. She will be the ideal heroine for his next book.
But who is the author and who is the creation? And as the lines start to blur, who is affected when a killer finally takes flesh?
After She Wrote Him is a wildly inventive twist on the murder mystery that takes readers on a journey filled with passion, obsession, and the emptiness left behind when the real world starts to fall away.
