Description
Paul Lazarus has created a miracle: a drug that restores sight to blind animals. In a clinical trial to test its safety in humans, it works spectacularly in two patients. Or does it?
Kathy Wright is depressed to find her eyes can now perceive images, but her brain can make no sense of them; her vision is all but useless. What’s more, she’s not the same Kathy; she’s become impulsive and unpredictable.
Unlike Kathy, Trey Osborne now sees perfectly. But instead of being happy, he’s grown unaccountably angry, with a hair-trigger temper that’s already turned lethal once. He’s a bomb ready to explode, and he wants answers. Who better to get them from than the drug’s creator?
But Paul Lazarus himself doesn’t know everything his drug is doing. He only knows that since inhaling it by accident, he’s had an affair with his assistant and a very public meltdown. His career in tatters, he can’t convince those running the trial that his drug is causing problems—they’re blinded by dollar signs.
As these intertwining stories build to a shocking climax, how many lives will the miracle drug wreck—or end?

I just finished Unblinded. The photo of the jacket intrigued me. As I started to read the book, I found the topic and characters well developed. The story line was well written. What interested me was the idea of research being done to assist people regaining their sight from a drug in beginning stages. The two main patients were willing to try it. They were faced with challenges once they received their sight back. The patients learned much more about themselves and drastic realities of their true nature.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
From the blurb:
“Paul Lazarus has created a miracle: a drug that restores sight to blind animals. In a clinical trial to test its safety in humans, it works spectacularly in two patients. Or does it?”
This is a medical thriller that looks into the complexities of a drug that restores sight to the blind. Hence the title, Unblinded. This was a fascinating story idea that was well written. Both the plot and characters grabbed me immediately. I was hooked all the way through this book, and highly recommend it for those readers who like medical novels with a unique story idea. I hope the author publishes more books like this.

Wow....this book was spectacularly written with an interesting and unique premise. I liked the idea of a miracle "cure" that can restore eyesight and the complications that follow are quite interesting. The writing grabbed me immediately and I was stunned, to say the least, when the book was done!! I will be following this author for sure.

Excellent medical thriller with an original plot. Well written and incredibly interesting. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

I am blind, so the premise intrigued me instantly and I really enjoyed the story, especially Kathy's perspective and struggles.
That said, sometimes I felt that the characters' voices were a bit too similar, but their personalities were distinct enough and it never really became a problem.
The ending was really great, the perfect finale.
