“Engaging, easy to read, and hard to put down!”
“This book was a fantastic read—entertaining, well-paced, and kept me turning the pages. The characters were well-developed, and the plot kept me hooked, always wanting to find out what happens next.
Bonus points for the military veteran representation—it added authenticity and depth to the story. And as someone from Berkshire County, MA, I really enjoyed the local references. If you’re looking for a book that’s both gripping and easy to read, this one is a great choice. Highly recommend!”
