Fly by T.A. Styles begins when Ric Hunter discovers his friend, Gary, unconscious in his home. The last update he received from their friend Spencer was that Gary was finalizing the preparations for a Super Bowl party they were going to have later. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Ric noticed a large horsefly buzzing around Gary. Despite his attempts to scare it away, it wouldn't leave Gary alone. As help arrived, Ric had forgotten about the fly amid all the chaos. However, was it just his imagination, or was the same fly following him everywhere? It was appearing in his car, at the hospital, and at home. He was starting to feel like it was out to get him. To make matters worse, a few people he had just interacted with were suddenly found dead, one by one. Something sinister had been unfolding ever since that fly buzzed onto the scene, and he wasn’t about to sit idly by and wait for his turn. Read Fly to discover what happens next to Ric Hunter and his friends!
Fly by T.A. Styles is unique, moderately paced, and well-written. I have never read anything as thrilling as this. Flies are already off-putting; adding them to a thriller makes it even more spine-chilling. The story shows how people hide their struggles behind a false front. It teaches several lessons, and one of the most important is that we are responsible for our actions. This means we should always try to do good in our lives. Among all the noteworthy characters, I admire Hannah, Ric’s wife, the most. She exudes so much strength and love that I couldn’t help but appreciate her. As I read more about Ric’s raw emotions and his acknowledgment of his past mistakes, my initial annoyance with him gradually transformed into respect. Fly has reminded me once again that true repentance goes beyond simply feeling regret and apologizing for one’s mistakes. It involves learning from those mistakes and changing oneself for the better. The entire story was engaging from start to finish. Great work!
