Black Hertz by Karen A. D’Cruz is an exciting and suspenseful read. It’s the story of Stella Liu and Morton Ho, the perfect, attractive, and successful couple. On the outside, they appear flawless and happy, though behind closed doors, their marriage is a contractual agreement, and both Stella and Morton will do just about anything to become rich. While this arrangement may seem amicable, it quickly devolves into a risky venture when cryptocurrency investments and secret business dealings create a downward spiral where they could lose everything.

I found Black Hertz a suspenseful, engaging story that serves as a cautionary tale about where to draw the line between calculated risk and bad decisions that can lead to a dark place with no return. I found the writer’s style easy to follow, with clear descriptions of the characters, their perception, and their reality. Karen A. D’Cruz does a fantastic job of cranking up the tension as the couple delves into darker, shadier deals and lifestyles that could spell their demise, save them from ruin, and bring them success.

This story has many moving parts, and it’s very descriptive and exciting and keeps the reader on edge throughout the book while weaving so many developments together. Morton and Stella are exciting characters, but also complex and each with their darker sides, which makes them both terrifying and intriguing.

Black Hertz is a suspenseful tale about betrayal and deception. Will Stella and Morton find the life of luxury they both want, or fall into darkness from where they cannot escape? I enjoyed how this book tackles the various angles and perspectives of the couple’s life and how many people can display one image while living a vastly different life.
