Maria Raye liked Nicola Roche-Harris's review of Foundations of Vengeance (Foundations Trilogy #2): "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Foundations of Vengeance by Maria Raye takes the groundwork laid in book one and completely deepens it, this is where the story sharpens, darkens and truly takes hold.

Maria Raye liked Jill S's review of Foundations of Guilt (Foundations Trilogy #1): "4.5 ⭐️ This book was so good. It did take me a little bit to get fully committed to, but once I did I ate it up. I can't wait to see where the next one takes the story. I love Milas character, the others on the other hand are still up in the air. Levi" Read more of this review »
