Call it an accident, but Thomas Witt was robbed. Robbed of 6 months of his memories, 6 days of his life while he fought to stay alive in a coma and of watching his 7 year old Daughter Kayla grow up.If time heals all wounds, for Thomas Witt, time has stopped. He cannot get over the accident that took everything away from him. To cope with his loss, he pops pain killers to dull his physical and mental pain. He also photographs accidents. Hundreds of them. He is obsessed with trying to find something, anything, that will help him move on from his Crash. When he finally stumbles upon a link between the accidents in the photographs he has taken, the real nightmare begins.David W Wright and Sean Platt are known as the Kings of the serials for good reason. Anyone who has read any of their serials knows that when you sit down to read a book from Collective Inkwell, you are in for an excellent tale that delves into the darker corners of whatever reality it is based in.Crash is their first full length novel in standalone form. Any difficulty they may have experienced in the writing process transitioning to a single novel is hidden behind a well written story.I’m not one to doll out spoilers, but I will tell you, when you reach the conclusion of this story, you cannot help but to feel that the time you have invested in reading this was well spent.  Gut wrenching.Yesterdays Gone and White Space are my favorite serials written by Dave and Sean (if you haven’t read those go buy those after you have purchased Crash), Crash is something a little different. Told from a first person point of view, you really get inside Thomas’s head. You see what he sees, you feel what he feels.I have no problem at all recommending this 5 Star book to anyone who enjoys a well told story. If you are worried about it being too dark, it’s not. It is however a tragic tale, but masterfully told. It’s a little bit mystery, a little bit horror, and a lot of fun.Props to the authors for what they have created, but the real enjoyment is for us readers who get to sit back and enjoy Crash.
