Unexpected treat

The blurb does not do this book justice.

It’s a very good story with great characters that you actually feel for.

Definitely worth a read!

Loved it

I didn’t really no what to expect when I started reading proxy but a couple of chapters in and I was hooked can’t wait to start the next one

Fast-paced super natural thriller. Highly recommended!

I bought this book based on a recommendation from a friend and I am so glad I did.

The story is original and compelling and the narrative is fast paced and keeps you engaged.

I look forward to seeing more from this author in future.

Would thoroughly recommend this read

Would thoroughly recommend this read, had me gripped from beginning to end. Would make a great film and can’t wait for future books by this author .

A good read from an extremely talented writer

I couldn’t put this book down, it offers so much; action, mystery, romance, friendship, comedy and much more. A real rollercoaster ride of emotions which made the book a real page turner, always left me wanting to know the next part of the story.
I think it would make a good film but at the moment I’m just really hoping there is a sequel book very soon, I would have no hesitation in buying it.

Absolutely brilliant. Completely engaging!

Loved this book. Fantastic concept and well developed sort. Didn’t want it to end and can’t wait for the next one! An author to watch.

Well crafted beast

Head and shoulders above most of the crop. It is both a page turner, in the supernatural fiction mode, and a genuine narrative argument. I did not agree with all his choices…this was a good read teetering on something brilliant… but enjoyed all of it, and will happily pick up the author’s next book…

A new ghostly spin on the modern urban fantasy

This is a book that might get lost in the field of numerous urban fantasy offerings, but don’t overlook it. Well rounded plot and characters solving a murder mystery here, but what’s special is the proxy concept that empowers Tad, our protagonist with otherworldly powers and insights, and the cadre of ghosts that partner with him. I found the various relationships between the living and ghosts to be quite entertaining, if not down right human, a key factor in the success of these sorts of novels. As a long-time fan of Jim Butcher and Benedict Jacka, I highly recommend this novel and am looking forward to more from Gareth Otton. Well done.

On a related note, I’ve noticed that Gareth Otton is an artist and has designed the book cover for John Conroe’s latest novel.

Excellent

Very creative with unexpected twists. I would rather not give away anything. Hopefully there will be more of these books.
