5 out of 5 stars
"Grabs you by the collar from page one and doesn't let go."
"Dark, smart, and impossible to predict, this is a psychological thriller that lingers long after the final page. The characters are layered and flawed in ways that make them feel unsettlingly real-you'll find yourself rooting for them even when you're not sure you should. Just when things start to make sense, the story throws another curveball." by Becky Kay
WHY does Herbert, a successful entrepreneur, never leave his house?
WHO is the mysterious redheaded woman who leads rebel group Les Chiennes?
And WHY is reporter Amelia losing herself in a corporate scandal?
Three lives collide in a high-stakes game of power and survival, where every twist of fate reveals new layers of deception and deceit.
With sharp dialogue and a relentless pace, Blame The Dogs keeps you tearing through its pages, each chapter more suspenseful and gripping than the last. It delves into the complexities of the justice system, identity, and ultimately, redemption.
At its heart, Blame The Dogs is an edgy, psychological thriller shining a new perspective on problems in our society, asking questions about #metoo, fraud, corruption, and the many ways narcissism impacts our daily lives-as well as our hearts.
Dear Reader:
September 11th, 2001, changed the world. As a young woman of fourteen living in the Midwest USA, I was able to understand the gravity of the situation, yet I still hadn't developed the maturity to cope with it. On October 11th, I picked up a pen and never looked back.
Lavender Raindrops is my very first novel written to completion. It took three hectic years to wrap everything up, creating an expansive cast of characters and plot twists. The rollercoaster ride following Jenna throughout her life as she explores devastating loss and the beginning of new life is chaotic, emotional, fantastical, and often irrational. Yet, in a way, it mirrors my journey as a budding author exploring and honing my craft.
Lavender Raindrops is not my best work. I shelved the project many times before committing it to my collection. While it may not be my best, it is an essential piece in my quest toward authorship. Perhaps even with all of its bumps and bruises, it will inspire someone else to take the plunge with their creativity and join the ranks as a "real" author.
Enjoy!
