5.0 out of 5 stars strange, surreal yet exhilarating ride May 6, 2012

By aobibliophile™

"The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible." - Oscar Wilde

Lamont Simms is a New York City cop who does his job well and has a clean record to show for it. after days of having little sleep and putting up with his partner on their beat, Lamont takes his boat and goes on vacation. little did he know that this trip would forever change his life and the way he would view the world around him.
author Michael Lorde's novel crosses multiple genres. his story, which has a combination of sci-fi, police procedural, crime, mystery and thriller elements, grabbed my attention from the first chapter to the last. at each turn of the page, i never knew what was going to happen next. it was a strange, oftentimes surreal yet exhilirating ride that sustained my interest from beginning to end.
this page-turner deals with a subject matter that has been written about and even shown on the silver screen but i have never read or seen anything like it before. the fact that the author still managed to come up with something brilliant and original is really remarkable.
although the setting is contemporary, it has a classic, vintage feel to it reminiscent of the 50s and 60s which i liked.
overall, i loved this book and its premise. even if this book can stand alone, i would not mind if there were a sequel. in fact, i welcome it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seeing is believing... June 11, 2012

By Marilyn D.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Whether the book is complimentary, part of a blog tour or paid for, this is an honest review. The following is my opinion and not a paid review.

Ever have the feeling you were outside looking in... and it totally gives you the creeps?

Lamont Simms, decorated NYC cop, former Marine and concerned citizen is moving ahead with his life. His gut instincts have served him well and soon he'll be rid of his idiot, screw-up partner... whose warped envy gets in the way of doing the job well. But, whoever said life was fair?

Raised by his uncle, a man of impeccable character, Lamont never suspected Uncle Emmett carried a dark, devastating secret... and the words uttered with his dying breath hold the key. The secret will open his eyes, and irrevocably change life as he knows it. After all... seeing is believing.

Michael Lorde's BLIND VEIL will grab you by the throat and not let go! It will shake the foundation of your beliefs in a normal world and the veil will come crashing down around your ears. A brilliant, fast paced, masterfully written thriller.

Get ready for a sleepless night...I guarantee you will not rest until you finish this book.

Thank you Michael... is there more to come?

5.0 out of 5 stars Blind Veil is captivating..... November 19, 2011

By Markham

Format:Kindle Edition

Blind Veil by Michael Lorde is really suspenseful. I literally could not put it down, and had to read it all the way through on a very cold Michigan fall night! I recommend Blind Veil to anyone who is into suspense, or psychological thrillers. I am a conspiracy nut, so the hints at conspiracies in this taut thriller really satisfied my hunger! I am very much looking forward to more from this new author!!! Blind Veil-FIVE STARS
