Superb conspiracy thriller that just keeps twisting and going deeper. I love the way this was written...it really gets under your skin. The ending might be lost on readers who don't know their history but I thought it was mind-blowing. I would definitely recommend to both thriller and horror fans.

Honestly, I took a bit of a gamble on this one. It was an okay book(s?) but by no means did I devour it. I was happy to put it down for a while. Every time I thought it was picking up it would hit another lull. Maybe it just wasn’t for me. I’m giving it three stars because it honestly was well written

The many. What can I say. It was a frightening book ,that could happen. There are so many crazy people with crazy knowledge. Just hang on

“My dear, haven’t you learned by now? Women are much crueler to each other than men.”

This book was recommended to me by a close friend and she really knows how my brain works. That I love books that make me feel extremely uneasy and ones that creep me out. That is exactly what seventy percent of this book did to me.

There's not much that I can say about this book without giving a lot away, so I'll leave it short. If you can't handle bizarre horror, uneasy & difficult situations, and some of the most terrifying scenes imaginable, then this book won't be for you. If you can handle the best of what bizarro has to offer then hop aboard. This is going to be one f**ked up ride!

Book one and two were amazing. They were eerie and honestly terrifying and I really enjoyed it. Book three kind of took a lot away from the story as a whole. The big reveal lost me and made the books not as scary as I first thought. It was all definitely messed up but if they would have left you in the dark, this would have been really scary. The twists were really out there but I'm not sure how to feel about how it all ended.

The Many was so disturbing and gruesome! I loved most of it. I really enjoyed the first two books and it kind of lost me with the last book. I would still highly recommend this series for people who can handle all kinds of horror.

Just be careful who you meet online. Money and looks aren't everything.

RATING: ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟/5
•
My SYNOPSIS: The Many is a group of faceless men set to control every aspect of life. Reproduction. 👶 Government. Sanity. 2 friends set to destroy them.
•
PROS: Such a cool and neat plot line with the characters and the group of the many. Definitely kept me interested until the end.
•
•
CONS: The language was a little much and I definitely feel like there should of been a trigger warning for sensitive subjects involving abuse.

Right now I'm giving this book 2.5 to 3 stars. My reason for this score is I wasn't feeling this book probably because of the mood I'm in at the moment. I'm hoping to be able to get more time or be able to check it out again. I will definitely give it another chance because I feel like this book can be a good suspense, but at this current time I'm in a reading slump, and this book is just not helping me get out of it.

There is an online date with a big question mark hanging over it, a suspicious brother, and a slow descent into madness. Then the brother discovers it's not just his sister who's had a traumatic experience with online dating in Portland. Finding out what happened on these dates is the plot of The Many's first instalment but then it becomes so much more.

The conspiracy at the heart of this trilogy is the real main character. Faceless (at first), brutal, and seemingly everywhere. Each novel has a twist ending and can be read as a stand-alone, except maybe the third book which requires some familiarity with Karl and Dawn's journey. How much you enjoy the third book's big reveal will depend on how much you understand the tie-in to historical events and conspiracy theories. I thought it a was a master stroke.

This is an intelligent and original thriller that I would recommend to fans of suspense and psychological horror alike. Thank you to the publisher for approving my request to read The Many.

This is a fast-paced story that won’t allow the reader to drift off. From the start, I was led into the emotions of these characters with what begins as a normal setting takes a strange turn. The format of the book and the plot keeps you turning the pages. It’s like stepping into a whirlpool that drags you in as you think you find the answers to your questions. The twists and turns will keep you riveted.

Ok, where do I begin?

The Many, is just above and beyond any trilogy I have ever read. It does not drag, it is not a slow burn but instead the complete opposite. This is a fast paced, mind blowing, electric psychological thriller with a hint of horror element.

When you decide to read The Many, make sure you clear your calendar. This novel is over 800 pages. Although, this might seem long, i zipped right through it. Every element of this book comes together to just make it such an incredible read. I am completely consumed by what I just read.

Each character is well developed and you feel as though you know them on a level deeper than just a character in a book. The first chapter draws you in and you feel an instant connection of having to speed through the pages to find out what happens next. This book is filled with twists and turns and so many elements of surprise that you will not see coming.

I highly recommend The Many to all psychological suspense readers! Nathan Field, I can not wait to see what you come out with next and you have become an instant favorite of mine. Easy 5 star rating .

To be totally honest, I am having a hard time writing this review. I almost finished the first of the three books but I was not able to keep reading. I am a big fan of thriller, suspense, conspiracy theories et al… but I struggled with the subject matter once you start to get into the meat of what Karl and Dawn were dealing with. Also, I might be getting more prudish as I get older but it was a little more graphic than I was expecting.

Thank you to NetGalley for this copy of The Many trilogy for my honest and unbiased review!

This books traps you from the start. You keep reading in hopes for learning the story behind the weird events happening. The first book is more fast paced that the rest in my opinion but the story throughout is filled with plot twist, it makes you don't want to put it down. I think the overall story is great, and when you reach the point of the truth being revealed It blows your mind, totally unexpected and actually quite genius. I would certainly recommend this book. I just wish a more "final point we're done" ending because it seems to me that it could continue but I rather not. I had a great time reading this book.

Really enjoyed this three book trilogy. A quick read for sure that kept me wanting more - quick page turner. Anyone looking for a suspense book that is easy to get through this is your go to!

The review on the front cover is 100% accurate. This is an unnerving experience that I couldn’t get enough of! I had already read the first two books in this trilogy and was excited to see this title available as a full series.

The final book is in a completely different setting with a new main character which only makes sense halfway through. It’s like a totally different novel but it’s just as addictive as the first two. I loved the boarding school setting and the cast of strange teachers and even stranger students. And the finale was stunning, creepy and perfect.

Absolutely epic book. Starts of small-scale and creepy with Karl tracking down the online date that sent his sister mad. He teams up Dawn whose Mum had a similar experience. There’s a link to a sinister scientist…..and to say much more is to give away key twists, but the mystery gets deeper until a dark conspiracy is unearthed that’s closer to home than Karl and Dawn imagined.

I would compare reading this book to riding a rollercoaster. Sometimes the twists feel shocking and unsettling but you just have to give yourself over to the experience and trust the writer knows what he’s doing. And he does. By the end you feel a wee bit rattled but also exhilarated.

I would not recommend The Many to my nieces or my mum because this is not suitable for YA or cosy mystery fans. But I freaking loved it and will definitely recommend it to my friends.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this advance copy.

Shutter Island? Conspiracies? Say less, and I'm there. I have to admit I was hesitant at first because this book combines three novels into one, but overall I found it to be an enjoyable experience.

Sadly not my type of book. I didn't care for the writing style. Just not for me but a lot of reviewers gave it high marks so what do I know? I say give it a try and judge for yourself.

A Sinister Story That'll Stick With You

I have a real fondness for dark psychological thrillers, and I often say the more twisted, the better. When I saw the description for Nathan Field’s Trilogy (The Many/Ancestral/The European School), it promised all that and more. It lived up to the hype. And now I might need to adjust my tolerance quotient.

If you are sensitive to foul language; if you are triggered by sexual or violent crimes; if you are bothered by explicit depiction of death and dismemberment… this body of work is not for you. If none of that bothers you, read on.

I’m finding this review particularly difficult to write without giving away any of the surprises. And there are several. The two main characters undergo incredible changes over the course of the trilogy. While I can understand how their lives ended up the way they did, I was shocked by some of the decisions they made and wasn’t certain all of Karl’s decisions were true to his character. Though I suppose given the intense situations he faced, his extreme changes and reactions could be within the realm of believability. Dawn’s arc was at times difficult to experience, but if you accept the premise of the story, it is probably usually true to character.

This trilogy requires excessive suspension of disbelief, a high tolerance for the macabre, and a willingness to accept some surprise turns that weren’t forecast early on. If you can bring all that to the table, you’ll likely enjoy this body of work. But if you’re looking for a tame mystery with obvious breadcrumbs that lead to an easy resolution, this isn’t for you. I usually fall into the former, and having read this, I’m still not certain how I feel about it. Some of the content left me unsettled, which is difficult to do. Perhaps not because of the content, but because it didn’t always feel story-driven but rather sometimes gratuitous. Regardless, I know this trilogy will stick with me for a while.

A solid 3.5 stars that rounds up to 4.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a gratis copy of the work in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is a trilogy, books are The Many, Ancestra and The European School. If you love conspiracy theories and shocking twists with surprise endings, then this book won't disappoint. I love the way it is written. Descriptive, smooth story line and a few warnings. Such as I would not for anything do online dating!! It starts with a brother noticing there is something really odd about his sister's manner after a date. She reacts badly and leaves. Months later he finds her and thinks things are fine until he says an obvious trigger word and she reverts to the nasty side. The story continues through the books with a roller coaster ride of red herrings and curves. I thought I had it figured out several times, but I was wrong.

Mysterious past tragedy. A lot of sexual tension. Really unnerving. Undeniably creepy. The atmosphere's so immersive. I have no idea. Why I'm writing this review like this. But at this point. I've gone too far with the bit to stop now.

Where do I begin? I first want to congratulate the author on managing to creep out a retired teacher who thought she’d seen and read it all! Wonderful stuff, I enjoyed every page, every twist, and every spine-tingling moment of terror. The writing was rich in atmosphere and created such an intense feeling of dread that it was difficult to relax, I had to keep turning the pages to see if Dawn and Karl would be okay. I've never read anything quite like it (that's a good thing!).

I am very familiar with the historical subject matter associated with the final reveal, and accordingly, I found the series of twists at the end of The European School especially enthralling. Although I wasn’t completely surprised by The Many’s origins (the clues were there throughout) I did not guess Dawn’s ultimate fate and found her character arc to be both satisfying and chilling.

Thank you to the author and the publisher for the opportunity to read The Many in exchange for this honest review. 5 well-deserved stars.
