What would you do to save your most precious memories?
That’s the question that Abigail Bennet, a new mother, must answer in this dark fantasy.
The cries of her new baby throw Abigail into rage and desperation. Frightened by foreign anger and overwhelming depression, the first-time mother decides to end her life to spare the life of her only child. But before she acts on her dark intuition, she is overcome by a panic attack and blacks out.
When she awakes, everything is blue the trees, the grass, the rocks and still, scentless sky above her. Everything except the face of the man who stands over her. He is Ishmael Dubois and claims to be her Guide through the dangerous world of Monochrome, a physical manifestation of the depressed mind. But in a place where good memories are currency, nightmares walk, and hopeless people are hired to bring down those who still have the will to live, Abigail starts to wonder if she’ll ever make it back to her family. Despite her growing feelings for her handsome, mysterious Guide, Abigail must fight for the life she once wished to take or fade into the blue.

Monochrome is a strikingly original tale of a young wife and mother who, overwhelmed with post-partum depression and fears about her marriage, comes close to giving up on life. When she awakens from a panic attack, she finds herself in the strange, dark world of Monochrome (fittingly colored blue), where good memories are the highly-coveted currency. With the help of her guide, Ishmael, she has the chance to find her way back to the life she no longer wants to leave behind - but at what cost?I love the idea of a world where you have to pay your way by giving up memories. The book takes a close look at the different kinds of memories we have - from nice ones that we could live without to those memories that define who and what we are - and how giving up even the ones that don't seem significant affects our perceptions of our whole selves. It really made me think about what memories I would give up if I had to - and in Monochrome, only good memories are valid currency, you can keep the bad ones. The thought was chilling.
Ishmael and Abby are both appealing characters. I especially liked Ishmael, the deeply wounded young man who never made it out of Monochrome and instead took a job of trying to help others find their way out. I would like to know more about his past, and his future. I'm also intrigued by how the world of Monochrome came to be, and would love to read more about that and about the menacing Boss, who rules Monochrome.
There's some action, but this is mostly an introspective book, with long conversations between Ishmael and Abby, two very articulate and self-aware young people. They are both also poetry buffs, and quote a lot of Romantic (as in style, not in lovey-dovey) poetry to each other.
Monochrome is a dark book, but also filled with hope and beauty. Recommended if you're looking for a fantasy/urban fantasy/paranormal that will make you slow down and think and feel.

Monochrome eBook HM Jones Jerboa Designs Deena Rae C Streetlights Reviews
The reason I bought this book was different than any other book I have been drawn to. I read the blurb on it and immediately thought of a classic convention known as the Dream Vision. So I purchased the novel to see if I was right. I don’t know if Jones purposely plotted her story on the Dream Vision format or if she stumbled on it via her own imagination. But this odd pull to read Monochrome worked exceptionally well.
What a great story! Though I recognized this literary format, I was pleased to see so many original alterations to the form. The guide that is normally there to assist the dreamer through an experience that will help him/her come to terms with the troubles that plague the waking life is at least as, if not more, broken than the main character. The landscape of the dream is traditionally not effected by the dreamer’s presence as the dreamer is normally an observer, but this dreamscape is more than interactive, it is endeavoring to destroy Abigail.
I highly recommend this book.
Monochrome is a blue cold scary fantasy world, a metaphor for depression, a hellish purgatory where the protagonist Abigail and survives by paying for her basic needs with positive memories. As she fights to leave Monochrome, she fights the despair of postpartum depression. She fights the lies depression convinces her are truths. Monochrome is a powerful, compelling novel. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it as a work of fiction that told important truths about depression through the metaphor of Monochrome.
Depression lies. You matter. You have value. You are loved. Those you love are not better off without you. Fight the lies depression tells you. Fight and reach out for help. You are not alone. I, too, have experienced the hell of severe depression. I'm thankful that I fought it and got the help I needed. Those I love, those who love me, are thankful, too.
I have two copies of this wonderful book the first was given to me in exchange for a fair and honest review, the second I paid for seconds after finishing the first. I believe exceptional literature should be appreciated and paid for. Ms. Jones has written a dark, Alice in Wonderland styled story that will touch your heart with the characters plight and perhaps, if you're like me, have you start your own journey of introspection. Once I began this unique exploration I could not stop, reading the book in only a couple of sittings. I believe any reader would find it difficult to do otherwise.
The main characters, Abigail and Ishmael, were very well developed, making me feel as if I'd known them for years, and I probably have in the cluster of people I associate with. I loved the way they were flawed with real problems but different points of view. The challenge, a woman's battle with depression following the birth of a child, is written by an author who obviously knows what she is talking about, however, I will not speculate if she is speaking from personal experience or not, but there is truth to her words. This reader found himself thinking about the story and the pair's trials well after putting the novel aside.
The place, Monochrome, is so one-of-a-kind that any description I might give it will pale by comparison. Suffice it to say that the descriptive writing is done, as if by a veteran novelist and not the debut workings of a self-published author. The Traders, Nightmares and other characters Abigail and Ishmael meet along their way, add depth to an already deep story and made it one that I will likely read again, for me, a rarity.
Who should read this? It's certainly too much for children, but young adults, adults and anyone who loves a well-written story with a blend of fantasy should read this novel. As other reviewers have suggested, if you have ever been touched by depression or just need a bit of soul searching yourself, this is a literary adventure that is calling your name.
