- Breve biografia
- I read words. I write words. I love words. Words have so much power, I understood this at an early age so story-telling has always been a part of my life. After college, I tried my hand at a few different careers - paralegal, customer service, sales. Yeah, I shouldn't have. Now, I'm following my passion and doing what I love. I write Young Adult urban fantasy, science fiction, and romance novels.

I won a copy of this in a giveaway. Sam’s narrative voice was good, crispy and salty with a side of ketchup. I looked at a preview before signing up for the raffle, and her voice is what drew me to read the rest. There’s a unique, quirky substitution of the names of U.S. states in place of curse words. For example, “What the Houston?” That’s either going to be endearing or annoying to you. I like it though because it made Sam distinct. Honestly, the cast all had distinct voices and personalities.
However, I hated Joe though. He was just too nasty for no reason. I feel like he was supposed to be this lovable broody, snarky guy, but I just wanted him to shut up. It’s like he hated Sam on sight. Whatever their little banter was supposed to be was just draining. Every line is an argument or a putdown.
I’ll give him some merit. This was a line, BAY-BEE:
The story can be dark at times. It’s obvious one of the characters has been self-harming themselves. Sam has a lot of emotions and pain that rears its head in violent ways, sometimes. Despite the heaviness, Volt is also fantastical with pigs, reapers, literal dolls, and other things Sam cannot comprehend. I get major Alice in Wonderland vibes from this.
I cannot speak to the mental disability representation.
I think the author is talented, so I didn’t regret reading this. I had to keep turning pages—uh, strolling to find out more. Info-dumps do not exist here, so mysteriousness around all the character’s backgrounds and traumas is ever present.… (altro)
