YOU WISH


Terry Tyler


Do we control our own destiny - or might it be determined by fate,
coincidence, luck...or even magic?


Ruth, an amateur psychic with a husband who smokes cannabis for breakfast, is
haunted by a tragic event from her teenage years which, she suspects, was the
result of a wish she made on an allegedly enchanted stone. Too embarrassed to
admit her fears, she keeps her secret to herself for twenty-five years.


Petra is the perennial singleton amongst her friends, unable, she thinks, to
fall in love. She comes across the stone at a Psychic Fair and makes a wish,
just for fun. As the wish begins to come true she wishes she had chosen her
words with more care.


Spoilt, weight-obsessed Sarah wants nothing more than to be "size zero". As
her life spirals downwards into the seedy world of drug abuse and addiction, she
remembers the day at the Psychic Fair when she wished for her heart's desire.


When Ruth learns of the fates of Petra and Sarah she is forced to confront her
guilt and discover the truth about the Wishing Stone...


Terry Tyler's debut novel is a quirky contemporary drama exploring the themes
of family affairs, infidelity and guilt, incorporating jealousy, drug abuse and the
obsession of a Facebook stalker, against a backdrop of secrets and superstition.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I really COULDN'T put it down!" 25 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Call me a cynic, but whenever I see a bunch of reviews saying "I couldn't put it down!" I tend to think the author has a large family. I came across this book while browsing on Amazon and thought I'd take a punt. What a great surprise. It's beautifully written - a fast, smooth read with a compelling storyline, and engaging characters. Download it now and you'll see what I mean. But be warned: you probably won't be able to put it down! Terry Tyler is definitely an author to watch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected - but an addictive read. 22 Jun 2012
By Debbie
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I needed a lot of perseverance with this book. Not because it wasn't good, but because it mysteriously deleted itself from my kindle after I'd read the first chapter! Amazon wouldn't let me download it again and it took me a while to find a backed-up copy to drag-and-drop back onto the kindle...

But worth the effort. This book surprised me because it breaks all the "rules" of writing. Lots of telling, lots of exposition and an unusual structure for a novel. But I really enjoyed it. Excellent writing and an ability to get right under the skin of the characters. This was all very believable stuff and very addictive reading. Sometimes I wanted to yell at the characters, which is always a sign of a good book.

And I really wasn't sure how it would end. All through, we never quite know - is there magic involved here, or not? Are we really responsible for our own actions or are their higher powers at work? A clever resolution to a great novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Horror as wishes come true. 16 Jun 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Halfway through the novel, I emerged from the intense revulsion of wishes going haywire for two women to read about a third couple who had wished on a magic stone at a fairground. My mind drew back in horror to think of how their normal, happy lives could change.

That's when I realized the brilliance and subtlety of the author's plot. Apart from a few editing glitches, Terry Tyler's writing in deep point of view drew me along through each woman's slide into degradation. The writing flows smoothly, and plot progresses to a surprising conclusion for the main character.
