Synopsis
When life catches up with young and brilliant investment banker Lucas Blake in the form of anonymous threats, his existence is exactly what he always wished it could be.
Or is it really?
He can barely remember what his true aspirations looked like a decade ago. All he knows now is that everything he worked so hard to build could crash down in a split second if whoever is blackmailing him decides to act on it.
To make matters more complicated, the team he ends up hiring to silently find the culprit of those menaces includes Raven Collins. A woman Lucas lost touch with, but who he still can’t get out of his head completely even years after having met her.
As the race to keep him out of harm’s ways unfolds, he enters a journey of self-discovery that might very well make him question the core of his life choices.
When greed, power, and old ideals pair together within a perfect storm is it possible to come out of it unscathed?
Can one’s principles thrive in a system that seems to bend even the strongest minded to its will?
Lucas and Raven are about to find out for themselves.
My Thoughts
‘Balancing Entropy’ is the debut novel by M.H. Cali with illustrations by Laurie Ya. With this book they were able to bring to life a story that has two people who met on a vacation have a deep connection but share no information. So, when they say good-bye that is it. There is no way to contact each other.
The way M.H. Cali wrote ‘Balancing Entropy’, you will learn about each character, how they are connected and their history throughout the book. With something like this it shows how just like in our lives how everything and everyone is connected somehow. By tying this in with the Romance and the Mystery M.H. was able to make me want more and making it so I stayed up later than I should be to get to the end of the story.
What really makes ‘Balancing Entropy’ different from other books is the fact that M.H. Cali teamed up with artist, Laurie Ya, to have drawings made for throughout the book. Having this done was a genuinely nice touch and one you really don’t see. Having this really helped me picture what was going on or had just happened. It was also great to see the amazing work that Laurie Ya does as an artist, and it was nice to see two creative people come together with their passions to make one amazing book.
‘Balancing Entropy’ is book one in The Entropy Series that M.H. Cali is putting together. I really can’t wait to get my hands on the second book. The sizzle in this book is only a 2 but that is okay with the mystery and character building that happens you won’t miss that it doesn’t have more sizzle. The characters do have great chemistry that also helps keep the story interesting. The book overall is getting 4 stars from me. This is one book you need to read or have on that TBR list as you will be loving every moment of the read.
This book was released on August 21, 2023, and is available wherever you get your books, or you can go here to pick it up. I promise you will not be disappointed by the story M.H. Cali and Laurie Ya tell.
**I did receive an ARC copy of this book from M.H. Cali. Getting the ARC copy had no influence on my thoughts as they are my own.**
