Will Ash come out of the coma?

 A review for Coma Confidential from a reader who experienced this suspense in her own family:

Janice Hamman

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Ash come out of the coma?

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is quite different but interesting. I can relate to Ash being in a coma and hearing others as our son was in a deep coma for six weeks following a car accident. We talked to him and played music. After he cam out of the coma, we wheeled him outside so he could see our dog. Ash was concerned about her dog. Her 'so called' friend was taking care of him and visiting Ash. Ash felt like this friend had something to do with her beating and being in a coma from things she heard. It is an interesting book and very well written.

What he smells is fear

Tied to the back of the chair by a rope that cuts into one shoulder, Timmy draws his knees to his chest and wraps his free arm around them. His face is awash with tears. 

Being shackled to the closet rod, I itch to put up fight, but if I do, Paul will retaliate—as he’s threatened to do—not only against me but against the child, too. 

So instead of resisting I pray, as fervently as I never did before, for someone out there to pay attention, to listen to the distress call I sent earlier. It should have gone not only to my boyfriend, Michael, who is on the airplane now, but also to the sheriff’s officer, Joe Miller, who is on the case. Did he get my call? Why isn’t he here already?

Paul tugs at my chain, making sure I’m tightly restrained. I breathe through the pain, through the sharp stings caused by having my elbow twisted behind me in an unnatural way. 

Clearly basking in the demented pleasure of seeing me suffer, “I can smell you,” he says. “What have you done, Ash darling, what have you put on to turn me on like that? Some kind of deodorant?”

There is nothing I can say to that. What he smells is fear.

“It goes right to my crotch,” he adds, now in a hoarse voice. “What a zinger!”

I ignore him, but not the suffering. How can I take my mind off it? 

I tell myself, you’re not here. Go elsewhere. Drift off. 

Focus on something else. 

No, that doesn’t work.

Help. 

Yes, focus on that.

Right now, my boyfriend is on his way. Airplane mode blocks the connection to cellular networks. With no internet access, he won’t be able to even notice my call till he lands. 

The flight time LAX to Clearwater, Florida is about four and a half hours. Add to that a cab ride from the airport to my place. So, in the best-case scenario, Michael may arrive about five hours from now. In the meantime, if no one else comes to rescue us, the child and I must survive, somehow, for at least that long.

Overkill

"I had to keep reading because the action was continuous and the conflicts kept popping up - hurdle after hurdle." 

~ Mimi Barbour, USA Today bestselling author

As if springing to life out of some Babylonian plaque, there she stands, surrounded by owls

 Watching the cracks in the rock I listen how water gurgles underneath them, how it comes, siphoned out with a big, sudden splatter—only to be swallowed back once again. 

Such is the ebb and flow of life. 

Climbing up I imagined the view I would have up there, at the top of the world. And now, having achieved victory, I am beginning to come down, seeking reflection. 

From outside the cave comes the hoot of an owl. Outlined against a dreamy moonlight, it strikes an upright stance, and turns its large, broad head to face me. Its gaze meets mine. At the moment I feel a strange affinity to this bird of prey. Like me, it must cherish its solitude.

And as it spreads its feathers I think I see out there, behind the flutter, a curvaceous outline of a nude. I ache to touch her flesh. It is glowing with warm, reddish hues of terra-cotta. Her breasts are tipped with gold. 

As if springing to life out of some Babylonian plaque, there she stands, surrounded by owls. 

There she is, my Queen of the Night.

“Bathsheba,” I whisper. My voice gets lost in the vacuous space. 

A moment later, the owl takes off. It rises away in its silent flight, and the illusive light of the moon starts dimming out.

A Peek at Bathsheba

Paperback ★ Hardcover 

Audiobook

Told in Poznansky's distinctive style, the story is a lyrical delight, granting David a frank honesty the Old Testament never would have dared and interweaving brief passages of the original text with the author's eloquent, entrancing style. This is a David you won't find in the Bible and a kingdom that sometimes feels almost modern.

Her hand clasps mine. It feels like a slab of ice.

Startled by the unexpected knock, my instinct is to jump out of my skin. But then, I take firm hold of myself. I freeze. And so does Karishma, except that she falls to her knees under the table and pulls me down by her side. 

Her hand clasps mine. It feels like a slab of ice. Somehow I sense a shiver going through her spine, as if she’s been caught in the middle of some secret plot, as if she expects to pay the price, and pay it dearly. 

The restaurant is already locked up for the night. The lights—those hanging over the dining tables and those fixed over the kitchen counters—have been off for quite a while. The wax candle, up on the tablecloth, has relinquished its last whiff of smoke hours ago. If anyone tries to peek in through the glass window, nothing can be spotted but a reflection of the empty parking lot, layered over a forest of wood legs, as the chairs have been turned upside down over all the other tables in preparation for sweeping the floor. 

Who can it be, out there? Can he guess, somehow, that we’re cowering here, in the darkest corner? 

“Let me in,” someone repeats, on the other side.

This time, despite the way sound is transformed when traveling through wood, I recognize his voice. I run to the door and—just to be on the safe side—put my ear against it. “Michael?”

“Yes, sweetheart,” he says. “It’s me.”

With a sigh of relief, I crack the door open for him. 

“Where’s Browny?” I ask, not only because I need to know that my golden retriever is in a safe place but also because with him comes trouble. If my dog is here—with that surveillance device on his tail—then we’ll need to mind what we say. We’ll have to talk in code.

“I left him at your place.” Michael gives me a quick peck on my forehead. “Not to worry.”

Glancing at Karishma, whose face is still pale, he adds, “Sorry to pop in at such a late hour. Hope my knocking didn’t scare you.”

She shakes her head, no.

“I was getting worried about Ash.” He locks the restaurant door from the inside. “It’s just, I had to make sure both of you are OK.”

She gives him a faint smile, but her fingers continue to tremble. I wrap them in mine. 

A minute later, her warmth is back. 

“Just ignore me.” Michael picks up her cup and mine. “I’ll be over there, washing dishes. You go back to your conversation.”

“No.” 

“No?”

Karishma gathers herself, with some effort, to her feet. “Why don’t you sit down? I’ll make some more Chai for all three of us.”

Ash Suspense Thrillers: Trilogy

Paperback ★ Hardcover

By popular demand, all three thrillers in one box!

The surprises in the plot kept me eagerly listening. In book three, Overdose, just when listeners think that the doctor who treated Ash during her coma was clueless and mediocre, his character comes to life. His disturbing personality is revealed. 
The narrator, Heather Jane Hogan, does an excellent job. Her voice has the perfect amount of excitement. I liked her portrayal of the various characters' voices.
