3- Ratings & Reviews on Amazon/Goodreads
No book ratings this month, but I did receive two nice 5-star reviews on Amazon.
Desperation Kills (1) 5-star review.
“This was an awesome read!! All the twists and turns kept me engaged and distracted on a long flight. I previously read Beneath the Roses, and really enjoyed the update in Desperation Kills. Author did a great job tying in the related stories.”- Amazon Reviewer
