I was given a complimentary copy of Altered by Rob Kaufman in exchange for an honest review – (this has no bearing on my review)

I have read all of Rob Kaufman’s previous books, subscribe to his newsletter, so when I received an invite to a complimentary copy of Altered, I jumped at the chance 🙂

My Review of Altered by Rob Kaufman

I had previously read some information on Altered and knew that it was to be the 1st in a new series of books based on the character Justin Wright a clinical psychiatrist in New York.

Described as a suspense thriller, Altered didn’t disappoint and had a couple of what I call my flappy hands moments.

What could have been confusing wasn’t as Rob makes things nice and clear concerning the Alters

The character build up is great, we get to know Justin, Mandy and Dylan just enough, but as this is the 1st in a series of books, we don’t know the full history or whether there are skeletons in the cupboard.

I think it is important that the reader knows from the start this is the 1st in a series of books, it is almost like a pilot episode of an upcoming tv mini-series.

The suspense is in there, not too many shocks and not farfetched but that doesn’t deter from the writing and the story.

As a standalone book I would have rated it lower, but for a book setting the foundations for a series of books it was absolutely spot on.

I just hope we don’t have to wait too long between books there is so much more about the characters I would like to know.

Publishers Description of Altered by Rob Kaufman

When Frank Devlin walks into Justin Wright’s office, the renowned New York City clinical psychiatrist makes the decision to take on one of the most challenging cases of his career.

Justin is determined to help Frank, a young man with multiple personalities (“alters”), live a happier, more fulfilling life. Little does he know that Frank, and his alters, are secretly weaving themselves into Justin’s life in ways that will affect the Wright family forever.

A suspense-filled story driven by emotion, angst and the ultimate revenge, “Altered” brings readers down a twisted path of uncertainty and mind games – leaving them shocked, heartbroken and questioning what could possibly come next.
