OnlineBookClub Double Exposure review — Every author hopes readers “get it.”
This week, I got one of those reviews that makes you stop, reread, and grin.
OnlineBookClub.org posted an official 5-out-of-5-star review of Double Exposure: A Spy Thriller on January 20–21, 2026.
And the reviewer, Shirley Ann Riddern Labzentis, didn’t just like it. She leaned all the way in.
Before I share the full review, here’s what hit me hardest.
She called it thrilling.
She said parts were impossible to put down.
She even noted the clean editing and the fact that the story stays refreshingly free of profanity and explicit content.
Here’s the complete review (reprinted in full, with credit), and you can also read it on OnlineBookClub.org right here:
Official OnlineBookClub.org Review of “Double Exposure” by Kirk Voclain
The Professional Photographers Institute, or PPI, was a front for training photographers to be covert operatives. They would pose as photographers on missions sent to spy and gather intelligence. They were equipped with weapons, and if they had to, they shot to kill. The head of PPI was Barry Cox, who was a ruthless, evil man. He killed his own brother, Marcus, because he knew too much about the covert operations. Barry felt that everyone was disposable. If you had finished the job that they sent you out to do, then you were disposed of.
One of the men that Barry hated and felt that it was time to eliminate was Reed Sawyer. Reed was one of the top operatives, and all his missions were successful. If you chose Reed for the job, you knew that it would get done. Barry was jealous of Reed’s success, so he decided to frame him and dispose of him.
Reed’s mission was to fly to Vienna and protect Secretary Kessler, but on his flight, things were not as they should be. Reed’s training had taught him how to detect even the slightest thing that was not right. He first noticed that the flight attendant was staring at him. Then the guy in seat 16B gave him a cryptic message. He did not know whom to trust. Were these people with PPI, or were they out to kill him? Then the pilot announced that the plane would not be landing in Vienna, but in Bratislava, Slovakia. Reed felt that he had to escape somehow when they landed, or he would be taken out. How was he going to escape with a plane full of passengers? Was this the end for Reed? Pick up a copy of Double Exposure: A Spy Thriller by Kirk Voclain to find out.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and there was nothing to dislike. It was very thrilling, and there were parts of the book that I couldn’t stop reading. I wanted to know what would happen next. The book’s editing was flawless; I did not find a single error. There was no profanity or sexual acts in the book, which was refreshing. I can only give this book what it deserves, and that is a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I think that almost anyone would enjoy this book, especially if you are a fan of spy thrillers.
