Ratings and reviews

Reading this book was a bit confusing at times as it seems no one took the time to edit the book, many words missing. Other than that it was interesting.

in my quest of reading everything, I found in this book original, and very hard to put down once I started. it's easy to relate to the characters, and picture the story as it's being unfolded. i thank the author for the chance to peek into this story and will surely be looking for more!

Very disappointed ok story line but not until the end of the book does any kind of action start then the book ends

About the author

K.C. Neal lives in Idaho with her maltipoo, Oscar. In previous iterations of her professional life, she worked as a bench chemist, a lab equipment tester, a biotech researcher, and a medical writer. Strangely, this sequence has not led to her dream job: drummer in a rock band. But her current gig is pretty sweet.
