Description
Good men take the Hippocratic oath, and evil ones break it. Sweet Jane learned that firsthand.
Young, beautiful, and brilliant, Jane Carter was on the verge of achieving her PhD in quantum physics when they first appeared, visitors from other universes that no one else could see. Desperate to hold on to her dreams, she turned to a psychiatrist whose controversial treatment promised to rid her of the hallucinations and restore her sanity. All she had to do was trust in his oath and submit to his deep hypnosis, but Dr. Barry Lieberman was not someone to trust.
The trauma of their sessions caused a split in her personality, and when he could not undo what he'd done, he had her committed to a mental hospital-forever, he thought. But Jane got better, and she met Joe, a combat veteran recovering from PTSD and on a shaky road to priesthood, who feels compelled to help her.
Now, she is on a quest for justice, and her former doctor will use his darkest psychology and cruelty to stop her.

Featured Reviews
Daniel Burke's Vibrations in the Field is one of the most unique books I have read in 2023. I don't even know where to begin. Joe Caroll, an ex-Army Captain turned Almost-Priest, finds Jane walking on the side of a road amidst a torrential downpour. Upon close inspection, Jane appears to have left a psychiatric hospital. The rapid oscillation and escalation of her moods prick Joe's curiosity. What might have started as a coincidental meeting leads readers down the rabbit hole of science, faith, good, evil and revenge. The author's ability to tackle grave mental health issues is supreme, as it is handled carefully. The depth of the key protagonists are well explored; I found myself relating with Joe and Jane on multiple levels. The references to religion and quantum physics are well-balanced and intriguing. The pacing was great, and the high stakes lured me in every time I returned to the book. The ending was deeply impactful and resounding, and apt for the key themes explored. This book has left a lingering mark, and I look forward to reading more from this author.
Thank you, NetGalley & Black Rose Press, for giving me an ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.
This again is a new author to me, and again I will definitely be looking for more of his stories. This story kept me turning pages, trying to read as fast as I could, and had surprises everywhere I went. I would recommend this to everyone as I believe it should be read by everyone. Although the story is fiction, in reality it can be very true.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest and voluntary review.
