JennaCanadaAge: 18-24Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Another suspenseful thrill ride!December 1, 2013JennaCanadaAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Singularity, Jevin Banks Series #2.In this book, Steven James writes that "magic is the only honest profession" as magicians promise to deceive you, and they succeed. But Mr. James is also an honest guy as he promises a crazy, suspenseful ride, and pulls it off each and every time.
Singularity takes you through a complex web of mystery, robotics, the search for eternal youth, government secrets, and desperate people willing to do anything to get the answers they need. And at the centre of it is Jevin Banks, a man still recovering from a family tragedy, and who is suddenly thrust back into an emotional roller coaster ride.
Singularity was a thrilling tale, and in my opinion, was even better than its predecessor, Placebo. Fingers crossed that there will be another instalment in this series!

A Jevin Banks Novel
By Steven James
Having read Placebo I was looking forward to reading Singularity. The invitation to join this blog tour came with a warning Not for the timid or faint of heart reader, and believe me this was no idle warning. The book opens with a man being paralyzed so that a neuro-tech experiment can go to the next level - the merging of man and machine (creepy - really, really creepy)..
Totally creep-out and I started reading this on October 31 as my nice quiet evening at home read. Not the best thing to read before bed, unless you plan to stay up the whole night because you can't put it down.
While this isn't my normal reading choice, Singularity does rank up there with works by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker they can definitely have a bit of a creep-out quality to their works as well. Now don't take this wrong because yes the book had a creep-out factor, but it was suspenseful and definitely held my attention until the end.
In Placebo we are introduced to Akinsanya and his is back as evil and diabolical as ever and Jevin has to outsmart him if he is going to save the lives of those closest to him. And when evidence is discovered that suggests a link between RixoTray and the DOD, Jev's investigation into the murder of his friend Emilio becomes a lot more complicated.
I can say with all honesty that I am looking forward to what happens next in the illusion that is Jevin Banks's world. And I'd like to know if he can discover who is the power behind RixoTray and Akinsanya. My dad would have loved these books as he was the one who introduced me to Frank Peretti.
I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Yikes! Loved this book. Can't wait for the next one.

debhgrtyPlymouth MAAge: Over 65Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5Singularity - Mystery, Romance, and Murder!September 3, 2014debhgrtyPlymouth MAAge: Over 65Gender: FemaleThis review was written for Singularity, Jevin Banks Series #2.Snakes - he had to start the story with snakes - Sri Lankan cobras to be exact - defanged, but still, Steven - snakes?
Jevin Banks, magician par excellence, has a new adventure and murder to solve. When a stunt goes awry and a friend is murdered, Jevin sets all his intelligence and all his friends to solving the crime. Suspicious because the local authorities AND authorities in the U. S. don't seem to want to help, Jevin intuits something bigger is behind the events.
From the mysterious Area 51 to Las Vegas' seamier side to a stunt involving water and piranhas and an escape to heading down the rabbit hole to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics - this novel has it all.
Singularity: the hypothesis that accelerating progress in technologies such as artificial intelligence will cause non-human intelligence to exceed human intelligence for the first time in history, causing human civilization to be radically changed or possibly destroyed.
How do all of these things fit together? Steven James weaves all the strands of story together into an amazing tapestry of excitement the denouement will astound you and make you ponder questions of eternity and your humanness. Hes written another incredible novel get it today, and start reading early youll not want to stop reading until the book is finished! 5 Stars!!!
I was given a copy of Singularity by Revell Publishing for my unbiased review. -
AlyciaMoralesSouth CarolinaAge: Under 18Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Breathtaking SuspenseNovember 19, 2013AlyciaMoralesSouth CarolinaAge: Under 18Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Singularity, Jevin Banks Series #2.You'll hold your breath through the pages of Steven James' latest thriller in the Jevin Banks series, Singularity.
I was hesitant to read Singularity, because the first book in the series, Placebo, was a little heady for me and not as fast-paced a read as I'd hoped for. Not so with this one. From page one James had me hooked, holding my breath along with his characters (escape artists), and flipping pages. Throughout the novel I waited for the bad guy to cross paths with the good guy and for Jevin to have to escape a situation he may not get out of alive. This is definitely an edge-of-your-seat read.
My biggest concern with Placebo was the amount of information Steven James shared, which continually pulled me from my fictional dream and slowed the read. In Singularity, when James must share information to let the reader in on the magician's ability to deceive his audience or to show us exactly what that robotic equipment is capable of doing, it didn't come across as an info dump or snap me out of my fictional dream.
I think he's found his groove and cannot wait for the next novel in the Jevin Banks series to release.
