What they’re saying about my books!

Gripping.

I like to read books that are not run-of-the-mill plots. Throughout this story, I was wondering what came next. It was an interesting premise and well-written.

For IMPOSTER SYNDROME

I didn’t see that coming.

I’ve read a lot of thrillers but was truly surprised by his one it pivots to a different area in such a quick way that I almost missed it. I was really surprised by the ending that I did not expect.

Did Not Want to Put it Down.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. It definitely takes you for a loop and was so hard to put down.
