The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

odd but quite stellar in an unusual way
Interesting, and neither your basic cult story nor love story but somehow a unique blend of both. I enjoyed the author's unique figurative"voice" as well as the narrator's sexy British literal voice, and I am interested in hearing more of both...

Not a single leaf label character in the book.
There’s nobody to root for here. They’re all ridiculous people who do the dumbest things. There’s just nobody who keeps my attention. Spent the entire time being frustrated and hoping someone would do something smart.

An otherworldly novel
This book was quite different from the quality I've come to love by Mark Edwards. The story and narration was strong, I just find this genre is not really one of my favorites. Wonderful, however, for those seeking life beyond our planet.

Aliens and cookie girlfriends
So a guy falls for a pretty girl and disregards her unbalanced behavior. Her belief in Aliens coming to take her and her fellow chosen ones off to paradise in another galaxy. One day she disappears and he follows her all the way to America to find her, even faking belief in aliens himself.
Ok. Enough of the plot. I have read enough by this author (listened) to know that the guy seems to be the same in all the stories. He is a guy who falls almost obsessively in love with a beautiful girl who is somehow not who she seems, who betrays him in some way.
This love I just couldn't buy. Why would the guy fall so hard for someone with beliefs so opposed to his own, someone who is obsessed with her beliefs. So what if she is beautiful? She was a crackpot. Sorry to all you alien believers out there.

Good but not his best
Another easy-to-read, fast paced story by Mark Edwards. This one is exploring the dangers of sinister cults and the strengths of beliefs. Richard's girl-friend Mary believes in aliens. She is completely devoted to this cause. Richard is a non-believer. Then Mary vanishes and Richard goes on a thrilling search to find her leading him to some dark sections of society.
Because of the alien theme I wasn't sure whether this would be my kind of book, but it turned out to be another really compelling suspenseful thriller. I just love Mark Edward's writing style. He creates characters that come to life and you become invested in what is happening to them. Ok, not his best book, but still thoroughly enjoyable.
The narrator did a good job and was pleasant to listen to.

Mark is brilliant
I really have enjoyed all of Mark Edward’s books and he has become one of my favorites. This story was probably my least favorite. I was expected more of a twist at the end, like his others. Overall good, just not my favorite of his.

What You Wish For
Not the best book I have read from Mark Edwards, found it not as exciting as his other books and while the story was not bad, it didn't draw me into it. I still love his books and will definently keep reading them. The narration was okay.
