A Wildflower in the Dark" is a captivating tale that defies expectations. Instead of a mere horror story, it's a rich tapestry of suspense, character development, and poetic dreams. Kozak's ability to craft complex characters, like the endearing yet flawed Claire, is commendable. The integration of his own dreams, prefaced by evocative poems, adds a unique and intriguing layer to the narrative. This book is a must-read for mystery enthusiasts, offering a satisfying and memorable reading experience that earns its 5-star rating.

The plot of this book sounds so interesting. Suspense tales are one of my favorite genre and to top it up with futuristic themes, it's a perfect blend. The review definitely piqued my interest. I would love to give this book a try.

'What a pleasant surprise this book turned out to be! I went into it expecting a frightening horror story but found myself engrossed in a thrilling tale of suspense instead.'
I'm interested in this book.

This was not the review I expected for this book! The synopsis left me expecting the book to be sad and heavy, not a page-turning mystery and I certainly didn't expect the recommendation to be for lovers of mysteries. I'm left intrigued!

This book is very interesting and also sad that he had to go through all that stuff alone and he endured everything with faith and pride

Wow, such a unique plot. I like that he can see the dead, but I wish I could also bring them back to life; maybe he would be happier to have at least one family member with him. This book is certainly worth the read, and I'm looking forward to it. Congrats on BOTD.

Thank you for your review. I read the sample. The chapters introducing Gret were well written. The premise of seeing dead people in the next chapter was a surprise. It's not a book I would be interested in, but congrats to the author on the #BOTD.

A Wildflower in the Dark: by Michael E Kozak is a book about Ignoble forces, known as the Ancients, who are lurking about with a diabolical agenda to kidnap the Sleepless dead and force them into their ranks. Gretan knows that failure is not an option for him but is ready to protect, fight, and sacrifice for what is right. Great Read for the Adult Fantasy & Supernatural Mysteries & Thrillers

Mystery and suspense mixed in with futuristic times is such a great blend of themes. The plot, as well as the well-developed characters are what is really drawing me to this book. I am curious to know how someone who's dead could possibly be in danger though. I'll have to read it for myself to find out. Congratulations on BOTD.

A story taking place in the future--a man can see the dead! I would love to read this book and understand the intricacies of a man's life who is apparently left alone time after time.

I'm so glad you enjoyed A Wildflower in the Dark! Your review really captures what makes the book stand out it's not just the suspense, but the depth of character and the way dreams are woven into the story. I completely agree about Claire; her complexity makes her unforgettable. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
