I just finished the book - and instantly want to re-read it! I loved this story, from beginning to end - and not just because it pairs perfectly with Panic! At the Disco's "LA Devotee" and a stiff whiskey! Snatch up this read. Beware the Gemini.

This book is on another fucking level.

It starts out earnestly enough with a fun protagonist and soon spirals into a world of paranoia and conspiracy theories. Aliens? Psychic phenomena? The possibilities are endless.

And just when you think you have it all figured out, Lutz strings you along right up to the the brink, and then pulls the rug out from under you and piefaces you down a flight of cold, hard stairs.

Jesus. The ending is brilliant and spine tingling all at once. Chills. Chills, I tell you.

This is how you write a god damn novella.
