Catalyst by Cameron Phoenix is an action packed, page turning, unputdownable book from page one. If you like thrillers, corruption, gangs, action, sci-fi books then you will love this book.

Jaydon Fox’s quiet life unexpectedly changes overnight. This dark and vengeful change leads him down a road of not just revenge, but of redemption as well. Told in 3rd person POV this action packed, suspenseful, sci-fi story takes you on thrilling ride with lots of mystery, corruption, and conspiracies. Cameron has created this world where the characters will go to any length’s to uncover the truth and to get justice. I’m hoping with there is a part 2, I want more!! Go read this book you will be at the edge of your seat!!

It’s not often that I read book in a day but I couldn’t put Catalyst down! This is a novel that hits the mark on so many levels, the right amount of intrigue, violence and just good storytelling are contained within its pages. Reminiscent of The Bourne Identity, The Punisher and The Winter Solider, Cameron Phoenix’s novel will appeal to viewers of these movies. For me this is a standout novel and one not to be overlooked!

This was a really good read. I did like the cover and blurb. I loved the writing style. The characters were flawless. I got into it straight away. There was nothing I didn't like about this book. I can't believe this is a debut book. Omg The ending. I do really hope there is more to come. I definitely recommend this book. 5*.
Omg. Action from the start. It did feel like I was there watching everything. There was nothing I didn't like about this book. 5*.

If you enjoy thrillers and or sci-fi this is definitely a book for you as it keeps you gripped and guessing and if you’re like me, you don’t predict much of what happens. I could see this book being optioned to become a show/series as the story, the fights and characters could easily be portrayed on screen.

This was a truly high stakes action packed story. The build up at the start sets in motion the events of an intricate plot of vengeance, conspiracy, and corruption, with lots of mystery and suspense. I liked how it weaved together the characters, and how their lives were intertwined.
The plot rapidly escalates from gang violence to an unexpected conspiracy with sci-fi threads, and it kept me gripped with its many twists and revelations!
It's like a creative mix of Jack Reacher, Bourne Identity and Winter soldier, and i liked the ending hinting at more to come. Definitely one to read.

⭐️: 4/5
Thrillers are definitely the mood I’m in at the moment, this one was really enjoyable! So well written I was pleasantly surprised this was a debut author. Full of twists and turns, just when you think you’re going in one direction that narrative changes. All the smaller plot lines are woven together to make a satisfying story.

The characters are well written and developed, it took me a little while to get to grips with everyone but once I did I was hooked. The pacing of the plot once it gets going is done very well and makes for a great read.

From the moment I set eyes on the cover I straight away had a feeling that Catalyst was going to be a big piece of me and I wasn’t disappointed. The story is gritty and intense straight away you get a underlying feeling that something is stirring in the background.

I really liked how the story isn’t just another gritty London gang story, that to be fair I still would’ve liked, this had the gritty edge that you find in British gang flicks and gave it a superhero edge that elevates the story but still gives it a realistic feel.

Verdict-Out of 5 ⭐

I love a good thriller and this one did not disappoint. It ticks all the boxes, action packed, conspiracy, corruption, vengeance and some very well written fighting and murder scenes.

The plot and character development was really good and very well written. For me it took a little while for me to get into it but I soon found I was hooked. The plot had me gripped I couldn’t put it down.

I was pleasantly surprised that this was a debut author and look forward to seeing future work.

I have to say this book exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved the level of violence in this story. I really liked how the MC didn’t have the best start in life and wasn’t this picture perfect person. I’m really looking forward to reading more of Cameron’s work and seeing what he writes next. I would definitely recommend this to any lovers of thriller and sci-fi.

I do enjoy a good thriller with lots of fast paced action and this book was just that.

Throw in hackers, police, detectives, gangs and multiple character deaths with a sprinkle of the supernatural and you’ve summed up Catalyst.

If you love Gangs of London but also superhero type books, this is the one for you.

Firstly I have to say that this book drew me in by the cover before I’d ever read the blurb and by the time I’d read that - I was sold!

This was a great action packed read - although I’ll be honest it did take me a good 30 pages before I was hooked - but after that point I couldn’t put it down.

It really is full of suspense, action and with a sprinkle of super strength that could be straight from a superhero movie - this ticks a lot of boxes and makes for an excellent read. Also there’s a lot of violence which for some people would be a down point - but for me it makes it a more interesting read.

This is a debut for this author and if the writing style is continued like this in future work I will definitely be seeking out any future books by them to read.

This action-packed thriller had an unexpected sprinkle of Sci fi thrown in. Sci-fi is not my thing, but it fits nicely with the story. The plot is chef kiss. The pacing of the book was perfect for this novel. I loved the mini story lines of the beginning characters because it all came together in the end. It made me jump a few places because it was so intense. This book has it all. There is violence, corruption, hackers, and revenge. Now, go pick it up.

I was drawn to this book by the blurb which promised action and crime. This book had both the action and the crime but it was more than that. There was so much going on and I ended up whizzing through this as I had to know what happened next.

The book was fast paced and the plot was very well constructed. I loved the mix of corruption, gangs, hacking and a superhero like character!

It took me a little to get into this book but once I did I loved it! There was suspense on every page and I just wanted to keep on reading to know what would happen next in the plot. The story took a turn where I was in no way expecting it to with the last few chapters but I loved it!! I loved the way it played out and progressed to a close as well as the science aspects that the book had with the characters and how it worked within the plot

I can't say that I particularly gravitate towards these gangland thrillers as such, but as soon as I saw the cover for this book, I knew that I was going to love this!
This is maybe the third or fourth book in this genre that I've read recently and I honestly can't get enough! (Am I actually ok!?)

I think this is a debut novel and honestly, it's so well written and such a great storyline that you'd never know!

This was packed with action right from the start and I was totally hooked.
It's pretty violent, dark and gritty and perfectly fitted with our London criminal underground setting.i could really visualise this playing out as a series or film on tv!

A great book and certainly an author that I'll read again!
