    I am a huge fan of Mark Edwards and have always found his books to be entertaining and very hard to put down. That said...we come to What You Wish For. It was by no means a bad or dull book; it was just so very, very different than any of his others. I have to admit that I'm not too interested in aliens...we have enough problems with people that look like us here on Earth. What it did do, and it kept me reading, was that it amplified the beliefs in alternate realities and delusive conspiracies that fanatical groups and individuals can have an easier time spreading and reinforcing their messages to people that will believe anything. Everyone from cult personalities and far out fanatical groups easily now can convince some folks that their life's problems can be all solved and forgotten simply by joining their cause. Marie Walker was one of those easily lead people. In searching for Maria, our main protagonists, Richard finds himself rubbing elbows with UFO chasers and people claiming to be abducted by aliens. He also discovered that in those mere four months he had known her, he perhaps should have discussed a little more in detail about her strange beliefs and seen if there was anything that he shared there. I thought the idea was original and interesting...but had trouble seeing it for a thriller. The story works its way down the rabbit hole into an alien underworld, with alien abductions and even alien porn. I actually started to think that Richard should just let the aliens have her and get on with his life. This was, without a doubt, the strangest Mark Edwards book I have ever read.

    Another good story. I really enjoy this author and look forward to more. The narrator does a good job, although all the American voices sounds feminine.

    This was a very quick, entertaining read. Some fun suspense, some emotional turmoil, and I’m going to read more of his books. Enjoy.
