Publisher's summary

Be careful what you wish for.

What would you do if you stumbled across a magic eight ball with all the answers? Would you ask it for the lottery numbers? Would you ask about the love of your life? That’s what Will Pearce did.

But as Will starts relying more on the eight ball to provide him with the answers that he seeks, he soon realizes that his magical gift comes with a heavy price.

Will is a supernatural thriller that leaves you wondering and asking yourself - what would I have done?

The Shirt Is Blue

I really liked the concept of this story and it played out quite well. Cutting the cord on making your own decisions and allowing them to be left up to fate, AKA magic 8 ball, seems easy. Problem is when fate tells you to do things you don’t want to do. Will you do them or will you not? What if there are consequences involved? Overall a great story that I was glued to in order to find out what would happen next.

I thought the plot was unique, maybe something others have thought about, but not something that a person who lets the chips fall as they may never put thought into. The setup for the interaction of the 8 Ball was finely executed and continued to provide a thrill ride throughout. I liked all the different scenarios that Will was thrust into and many turned out differently than I expected. The only issue I had is that I wasn’t really happy with the ending. Didn’t expect the way it turned out and would have liked something different.

“Standing out is so much better than blending in. Orange was warm, emotional, flamboyant. Orange is the new black.” The idea of not blending in and standing out was great. I liked the inner turmoil Will went through and the overall outcome of him finally standing out and up for himself. Trying to blend in and be unnoticeable can be harder than being yourself. Becoming confident in who you are is something that comes with the ability to say f it. That aspect of the book really stood out to me and made it a positive story.

I really liked the characters. For some reason the relationship of Will and Allie really made me happy and I was constantly hoping of the best between them. Their relationship was a roller coaster that had me needing to know how things were going to go, almost more so than the overall story.

The character development that Will goes through, also noticed by his friends, was great. I liked to see him become a more confident and less socially awkward person as he left his fate up to something else. I loved how his actual personality kept coming out as he was faced with his fate and how the meeker side of him tried to fight it. Will’s natural persona was the perfect person to help you answer the question of what would you do.

Tyler McGuire did a great job with the narration. I really enjoyed his character voices and thought they were fitting for the type of characters. I think he added the missing touch to them with his narration and he made them all come to life.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Good idea for a story

This was a very interesting story about a guy, Will, whose life is taken over by a magic 8 ball.
While I did enjoy the story and liked the characters, there was a lot of things left unexplained and the ending is very anti-climatic. I would have loved to know why/how the magic 8 ball made Will do all those things. Was it possessed? A curse? But we never really find out and I feel it is a big gap missing out of the story.

you found a magic 8 ball....lucky you?

I love this book so much. So much so, in fact, I listened to the Audible version even though I have read the book.
In this story, you follow Will around in his mundane, orderly life. One day he goes into a strange shop he has never noticed. His off beat choice has repercussions that will effect more than just himself.
You get a sense of what madness looks like. You will be hooked from the beginning. And in the end, you might wonder what you would have done.

A bit slow, a bit odd, but gripping!

I will never look at a magic 8 ball the same way again. There were a few chapters that seemed to drag on for me, but overall it was a great book!

A very nice surprise

Wow, holy moly did this whenever surprise me. It literally came out of left field for me. It is so addictive that you’ll find it hard to put down. The characters are well developed and woven into the storyline amazingly. Parts of this book are so creepy that it will leave you wanting more and I have many many questions about this book but it is just like I sometimes say some mysteries are left unsolved for a reason. I was completely grabbed by this book and invested right from the gecko. The performance is actually quite good even though it has its parts where I thought it could’ve went another way it always seem to grab me right back in. The pacing is very good and he does not seem rushed even during those tents scenes. Character voices are very well done and easily distinguishable between each. This one will finish quite high on my audiobook list of 2019. I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review from audiobook Boom. This in no way affected my opinion of this work.

Evil Ball

I enjoyed this deep psychological supernatural thriller about the magical 8 ball. Will Pearce pick the ball on whim as he remembered the one he had as a kid then weird things have when ball tells him what to do and attempts to rule his life. Will turns out to be a good unselfish man. The ball should be placed in lead lined box. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

Intriguing Premise

A super interesting premise with a fantastic throughout story. This is the first Christine Bernard novel I have experienced and it definitely made me want to look into her catalog of works more.

Enjoyable read, but with little reward at the end

I read this book quickly, and was enjoying the progression of the story and it's characters. Unfortunately, the ending left me flat. It was too easy for me to see the ending coming with the "surprise twist." I was really hoping the author would take it somewhere else and surprise me.
I should note that I requested this book and agreed to review it.
The narration was solid. I would definitely read another narration.
