Resident Spy: A thrilling YA novel Kindle Edition

3.9 out of 5 stars 17 ratings

Trusting their inner voice could save the world. Or get them killed.

Ethan James, Florida Bowman, and Jake Inala are three teenagers with one thing in common: they’re kidnapped two weeks after receiving life-saving organ transplants. Their abductor is a man who believes the memories of the host are retained in the organs. He tells them that their organ donor was a CIA agent who died halfway through a mission to foil this man's plans to destroy the world.

Extracting these memories is just the beginning. Something else is awakening inside their minds. If they trust this voice they might save the world. But it might also get them killed.

Review

"An exciting and fast-paced book with an original story line. D L Richardson has shaped the story extremely well to retain the reader's interest from beginning to end. It has an open-ending, perhaps with a sequel in mind." - Buzzwords Books 4 stars"Feedback is an interesting book with a well-developed plot, the feedback phenomenon being a very cool idea." - Bookloversity Reviews 3.5 stars"Feedback is a wonderfully refreshing Young Adult Paranormal book." The Book Maven 4 stars

About the Author

I'm an avid reader of all fiction genres but I love writing supernatural and sci-fi thrillers. By day I'm a Payroll Officer, and when I'm not paying people I'm either writing, working on the house, walking my dog, playing the piano or guitar, reading, watching Netflix, or sitting on the back deck watching life go by. 

I live in Australia with my husband and dog. My books take place in some parts of the world I've visited and some I have not. Writing fiction is a dream of mine. I love writing fiction that is entertaining as well as emotional and thought-provoking. And who doesn't love a good twist? My books are full of them. Hopefully you'll enjoy reading my stories.

    This was a fast-paced thriller with a little bit of a supernatural element. Ethan, Florida and Jake are all teens who are recipients of organs from Dylan Black, a CIA agent who was working to deactivate some bombs when he is killed in an accident. After receiving the organs, the teens start to catch glimpses of someone and eventually start hearing a voice - Dylan's voice. Dylan's organs have cellular memory (or Feedback) that allow them access to Dylan's memory and allow him to speak to them. Now, he needs their help to finish disarming the bombs before millions of people are affected.

    The book really felt to me like it was two different but related books. The first half focused on each of the teens and their individual stories - how they deal with their illness, their feelings about receiving a donor organ, their families. The book is told from the alternating viewpoints of each of the three main characters and it's done well. They each have a unique voice even though they are living with similar circumstances.

    The second half of the book reads more like a James Bond thriller. There's kidnapping, fighting, escape, an evil super-villain bent on world domination, and, of course, a thrilling attempt to save the world that comes down to the last second. None of these things are original. Some of these things are cliche. There were a lot of coincidences and things that seem to go right at just the right moment. But, isn't that always the way with a spy thriller? Despite a lack of originality, it was still entertaining and the added idea of feedback kept me interested until the end.

    I don't know if this is a planned series but the ending is left open for a sequel. If there is one I would be interested in seeing where the series goes. I would recommend this to fans of thrillers that are looking for something with a little bit of a twist.

    Note: I received a copy of this book for free from the author through FMB Blog Tours in exchange for my review. All opinions are 100% honest and my own.

    The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a free copy of Feedback from the author for an honest review.

    Ethan James, Florida Bowman, and Jake Inala are all teenagers and all three are on a waiting list to receive an organ. Ethan and Florida both need a new kidney and Jake needs a new liver. They are waiting for that one call where the person on the other end of the line says "we have a kidney or liver for you".

    I was sucked in to the story from the very first chapter. Did you read the excerpt of the first chapter up above? If you didn't you might want to check it out now. Go on I know you want to. I will wait til you get back. D.L. writes in a very mysterious way where you believe what you are reading is real. Ethan has stolen a car from the mall and now he is driving at 120 and 140 mph down a very wet road. He is flying around curves like there is no tomorrow. He doesn't care if he crashes and dies I mean he believes that he is going to die anyway. If he kills himself while driving to fast or if he dies from kidney failure makes no difference to him. I was so taken with Ethan feeling so very sad for him with him not caring if he killed himself or not. I kept thinking what has driven a teenage to think in this way. Has he been abused? Was he in love with a girl who didn't love him back? Did he just lose one of his parents? Did one of them die? What would make anyone feel like this? And then at the end of the chapter I read "Game Over flashed over the tv screen".

    I felt somewhat better after reading "Game over" but it still kept me thinking about what someone in his shoes maybe be going through. I know there is no way that I could ever know what someone else is going through or how they feel because I have never or can never go through what they go through. You know that old saying "You can't know what someone else is going through unless you have walked a mile in their shoes"? I don't really believe that you can walk a mile in someone else's shoes even if you have experienced the same things.

    Well Ethan, Florida and Jake all get that one call that they have been waiting on for so long. They get their new organs and get a second chance to live their lives. Their organs were donated by a guy that works for the CIA, Dylan Black. Dylan is killed in a car crash while trying to hide three bombs that are set to explode. If the bombs explode they will spread diseases and death over the whole plant. He is being chased by the second in command of the man who made the bombs.

    Jake, Ethan and Florida are kidnapped by the man who made the bombs. He knows that their new organs came from the dead CIA agent that had infiltrated his company. He believes in memory of organs. He thinks that they can give him information that only the CIA agent, Dylan Black would know. He will do what ever is necessary to retain this information.

    It is all in the hands of Florida, Jake and Ethan to find these bombs to disarm them and save millions of lives. But how are they going to do this while being held prisoner? How are they going to get away so that they can save all these people? Where will they get the info to disarm the bombs? How will they find the bombs?

    Feedback was a phenomenal read! I really loved it. I believe that most or all of it could actually happen. Well I believe that the memory of organs could happen. I believe that diseases could be spread in the way that D.L. wrote in Feedback. I know that Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease so I am not sure if it could be spread in this way. But I have not went to any extreme of researching it either. I enjoy reading books like Feedback well because I am a conspiracy theorist. The CDC is out there so anything is very possible in my opinion.

    Reviewed in Canada on November 4, 2020
    This book was okay, but not what I usually enjoy. Three teens are guinea pigs for a scientist trying to prove that transplants contain memories from the donor. These three received body parts from the same deceased CIA agent. He has indeed entered their brains, and helps them save the world from deadly virus germs. ENJOY!

    I enjoyed this book about three young people receiving transplants from the same deceased VIA donor. The issues raised were interesting and informative, and the characters likeable. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
