Crystal D. Budy has a Master's degree in psychology and utilizes her knowledge to develop flawed, layered characters and enjoys writing books full of mystery, romance, and snarky brats.

She lives just outside Cleveland, Ohio with her husband of nearly twenty years and their clingy black cat.

An avid reader and writer since she was old enough to pick up a pen, she enjoys writing (and reading) about romance and mystery, particularly when they're combined.

She looks forward to sharing stories of love, laughter, mystery, and kinky spice (sometimes all at the same time!) with you, and hopes you'll enjoy her quirky characters as much as she does.

This book was so good. Such an excellent ending to this series. It was a beautiful deep dive into the way family, particularly fathers, can screw someone up, and the different ways that can manifest in the child as they grow.

Quotes by Crystal D. Budy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Nothing is fair. Life is shit and it doesn't get any better. But there are things in life that will make it bearable; tolerable. There are things that will make all of the BS worth it. You've just gotta open yourself up to it. It's not always easy, and the scars will never go away...but maybe, just maybe, you can learn to live with them.”
Crystal D. Budy, Echo of Silence
