Media Reviews

"Starred Review. Witty, realistically foulmouthed dialogue and the suspenseful, well-laid mystery will keep pages turning, as will the budding romance between Flynn and Kaz. Readers won't be able to put it down." - Kirkus

"Starred Review. This truly hair-raising, stand-out mystery thriller from debut author Roehrig will keep readers guessing, even until the end." - Booklist

My favorite book
This is my favorite book, the best book I have ever read. The main character Flynn is very relatable and the relationship that develops between him and Kaz was adorable! The mystery is very interesting and written so well, I would recommend to anyone who wants a good mystery, along with a little bit of gayness.
