From the Author:
I wrote this series for all people who enjoy a myriad of "feels" when being entertained. I personally love to feel intrigued, excited, fearful, shocked, joyful and even more reactions from one single book or film. I hope that you will enjoy a roller coaster of emotions while voyaging through my books, as my top priority is to make my audience experience a new and unique novel series that sticks with them long after finishing the books. Happy Thrills, everyone!!Best,Donnalyn

Wow this book! This book was so different because of the different perspectives and...I was sucked in. Yes, it was suspenseful, and yes, it had me at the edge of my seat. Kelly, Tori, Richard, and Chloe made such a badass team." -Dora E./Bookstagram blogger
