11.27.2018 - The Mansion

The Mansion

Many thanks to NetGalley, Atria/Emily Bestler Books, and Ezekiel Boone for the opportunity to read his latest thriller.  As a fan of this Hatching series, I really liked this one too!

Billy and Shawn were university friends when they holed up for 2 years in an abandoned cottage on the property of Shawn's relatives with the crumbling mansion, supposedly haunted, hulking over them.  They came up with what became Eagle Logic and were working on an even bigger project - an AI/personal assistant they called Nellie - when their personal and work relationship came to a grounding halt.  Billy left with Shawn's girlfriend, Emily, and slowly started a downward spiral of drugs and alcohol.  Shawn, meanwhile, turned Eagle Logic into a multi-billion dollar venture.  As Billy's status becomes dire, Shawn approaches him with the opportunity of a lifetime - to help fix Nellie and become rich again in the process.  What could go wrong?

Stay tuned - this is a fun/creepy ride all the way to the end.  You'll never look at your Alexa/Google Home device the same way again!
