Gripping, suspenseful, and brilliantly written—Half Blind delivers action, depth, and intrigue with a strong, compelling heroine at its heart.
Olivia Gaines delivers another gripping addition to The Technicians Series with Half Blind, a novel that seamlessly blends action, intrigue, and character-driven storytelling. As the third book in the Technicians of the Great Lakes arc, it continues the journey of Helen McDaniel, a tenacious and resourceful protagonist who is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with.
This time, Helen’s path leads her to Ohio, where she trains under the enigmatic Sour Lemon, a chemical specialist with a wealth of knowledge about toxins and plant life.
