About the author

M. M. Cox is a journalist and professional blogger who just recently published the Teen Mobster Series with Bluewood Publishing. If you’ve ever wanted to try laughing while biting your fingernails, you should read her books. Cox has lived in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Colorado Springs, Boston, and Washington D.C. and run races in different cities. If you ask her why she writes, she’ll tell you that she attended her first writer’s conference at the age of 13 and dreamed of sharing her own stories ever since.

Cox currently resides in Oklahoma City with her husband and children. Yes, she’s had to crouch down in a storm shelter during a tornado. No, she hasn’t seen a witch and her flying monkeys. Apparently those are only in Kansas. But there's a first time for everything...

Reviews

[Court Hanner · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this book was a great read with an absorbing narrative. I like the characters and the series has great potential!

A fun read. M.M. Cox nails the intrigue and keeps the reader turning the pages. The characters are the best part of this book. The main character is relatable and his new family is entertaining. I'd almost want to share a nice Italian meal with Vigliotti family, but I'd be careful not to disappoint--wouldn't want to end up sleeping with the fishes.

What a fun read! I got this from a friend and couldn't put it down. I wanted more from it, but I think that's a good thing. Was able to pick up the next two and the first in the author's next series at the local bookstore, so we'll see where they go. But it's a good start--and a not vulgar. Nice.
