Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Gaslighters continues the adventures of Pieter Durant in exciting and unexpected twists and turns that make this book hard to put down, including themes of particular relevance today. Imaginative and very fun to read!" Carolyn Holmes.

"Told in vivid detail, W.K. Blais uses powerful imagery and dramatic action to catapult the reader into a terrifying world of political and environmental upheaval, deadly earthquakes and the desperate struggle of two people who belong together but are constantly being torn apart by events they can't control. If you're looking for a story that grabs you by the collar and yanks you out of your comfort zone until the last chapter you've chosen the right book." Tribal Elder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking and relevant
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book is the riveting sequel to School of the Assassins: Pieter Durant Thriller Book 1; however, those who haven't read the first book can still jump in and enjoy the ride. If you like multi-layered thrillers in which nothing is what it appears to be, The Gaslighters: Pieter Durant Thriller Book 2 is a perfect choice. The book is relevant, and the underlying political tensions are guaranteed to make you think twice about what is going on around you. W.K. Blais has a talent for strong character development and page-turning storytelling. Highly recommended!

I won this book as a giveaway on Goodreads. It wasn't my usual type of book to read, but it was good. It was a little too political for me to actually love it, but I would recommend it to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pieter Durant's adventures are amazing!
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2019
I read the first Pieter Durant's adventure in the book 'School of the Assassins' and enjoyed it tremendously. This next thriller featuring Durant is even better! I equate Durant's character with the 'Reacher' hero in Lee Child's book series. Exciting, relate-able, trying to always do the right thing in a bad situation, kind and considerate. A captivating read. I look forward to the next in this series. Perhaps a movie???

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Political
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019
I hate posting negative reviews, but I really didn’t enjoy this book. I’m not sure I would classify this as a “thriller” as the title states. This book was 90% political with the big bad oil tycoon (spoiler alert) being loyal to the Russians. 😒 There was very little action, and the exaggerated political agenda took away from any interest I had in the developing relationship between Sidney and Peiter.
