"WhiteSpace: Season Two" is an omnibus edition including episodes 7 - 12 by co-authors Sean Platt and David W. Wright with Jason Whited (Editor)This Kindle e-book was a 523 Kb download and sold for $5.99 at the time of writing this review.Please Note: the authors provided me with a free copy of this omnibus edition in exchange for an honest review.Spoiler (general theme)6 - 8 weeks ago and completely out of character, middle school teacher, Roger Heller, shoots and kills several of his pupils. The normally quiet life in the community of Hamilton Island in Washington St. has been irrevocably changed... forever. However new and unexplained events have been occurring since that infamous day. Our story continues...End SpoilerSome thoughts on "WS: Season Two"...1.) well written combined with a sense of easy readability... each chapter and subsequent episode about the perfect length.2.) a nice sense of action vs. drama ratio... allowing for both continual character development and the inclusion of heart pounding events.3.) some great character development. To mention a couple... hard not to love precious Emma or feel absolute despair for some or the insecurity issues that hound poor Cassidy.4.) I was very impressed how some of the unimaginable events of Season One were explained and neatly tied together. Making sense of the seemingly unexplainable and keeping it within the context of the extraordinary situation presented.5.) cover art... loved the cover. Unpretentious but somehow perfectly representative of the unsettling turns of events that make up the entire WS series.Favorite WS Season Two moment... unquestionably episode 7, with its SHOCKER of an ending... jaw dropping!  Followed closely by chapter 3 of episode 11.Impression:Having read just about everything Sean and David have written, I feel that there has been a discernible improvement in their overall writing skills and storytelling abilities... and this series may very well be their crowning achievement.As it is... 5 StarsRay Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com@ralannicholson
