Who would have thought
" Book was recommended by a friend. Not knowing what to expect, started reading and immediately got hooked. The author kept me interested in what was happening. Suspense, intrigue, and mystery all in one. That ending wasn't what I was expecting. Great book. "
" I really enjoyed reading this book. It kept me in suspense from the first page to the end. Ms. Mostella really developed each character, built the plot, kept you in suspense, allowing you to think you knew the ending and then, bam, right at the end, it's like who would have thought? You will not know the ending until you read the entire book. A good read. Well worth the time. "
Consequences of crime, greed, & love
" Loved how the story developed from start to finish. The ending was so amazing. It is definitely not your typical suspense story, which makes it even more unique. I really enjoyed reading it. "
" This book has everything I want in a thriller: relatable, compelling characters, suspense that builds as the plot unfolds, and an ending that kept me guessing to the last page. I’m excited about reading the next book in this exciting series! "
Why Now
" This book was a complete pleasure to read. It engaged me enough that I stayed up until 2:00 am one night reading it—way past my bedtime and totally worth being a little groggy the next day. I loved how the characters interacted, the dialogue, and the suspense. It was also fun to speculate about how it would end, though my assumption proved wrong—but that’s part of the book’s charm. Why read a mystery/thriller if you can easily figure out the ending? Kudos and thanks to Ms. Mostella for the way she wrapped up this stand-out series! "
" This book had me hooked, I couldn’t wait to get to the end. I was extremely satisfied with the ending of this series. I would recommend the series if you want to fall in love with the main character. "
