Extremity by Nicholas Binge
" “And yes, I’m aware that “this isn’t how it looks” is just about the oldest cliché in the book. I’m aware that you have a trail of bodies and the only that connects all of them is me. I’m aware of Occam’s razor.”

Thank you to @tordotcompub and @netg" Read more of this review »

Abyss by Nicholas Binge
" The plot description will be up soon! This is just a placeholder for now. "
Extremity by Nicholas Binge
"Extremity by Nicholas Binge is the kind of thriller that starts with a “wait, what?” moment and then just keeps escalating until you’re frantically flipping pages like you’re trying to outrun the plot itself.

Former police detective Julia Torgrimsen " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Nicholas Binge  (?)

“He smiled and stood up. “Because that’s what life is. A constant climb. Eternal growth. The continual battle against entropy. It doesn’t matter what the destination is, or what’s at the top; all that matters is that you keep climbing. That’s what it means to be alive, Harold. That’s what it means to be human.”
Nicholas Binge, Ascension

“Whatever is going to happen, it’s going to happen. It’s already happened. It’s happening right now. It’s up to you to decide how you make that count. How beautiful you let that be.”
Nicholas Binge, Ascension

“People like to think empathy means being able to imagine how you'd feel in a certain situation,' she said, head tilted, holding my gaze. 'But it really doesn't. It means being able to imagine how they'd feel, and how it might be completely different from you.”
Nicholas Binge, Ascension
