Ryan Thompson’s book, Packwood delivers a psychologically gripping thriller. When Margaret Swanson wakes up in a concrete cell with severe amnesia, she discovers that she is the only person who can stop a rogue mastermind that is tied to the MKUltra program. This story is perfectly set in the misty backdrop of the Pacific Northwest and perfectly blends its relentless action with deep mystery. The readers will appreciate the fast-paced suspense, the complex plot twists, and Margaret’s compelling struggle with a fragmented identity. It is an impressive debut that perfectly sets the stage for a thrilling new series.

This story never grabbed me. It was clinical and too much into the mechanics of the subject. I, myself, would have enjoyed it better with the focus being on the details of what happened to her personally and the side effects in relation to all of the scientific wording of it. Written well, but did not keep me involved.

Too slow and too lengthy description wise, which did not enhance, but rather detracted from the storyline. Also, I am not a fan of feeling forced to read an entire series just to get answers to the main storyline.
