Derailed

by Suzanne Thomas

When Mena's life goes off the rails, will she do the same?

Mena Frisby is a people-pleaser with a critical internal monologue. Incapable of standing up for herself, she has a particular talent for seething silently.

Mena thinks she is in control of her life. But… she’s under siege at work, taken advantage of at home and forced to endure a daily train commute with some very annoying people.

When things start to go wrong, Mena discovers that she has a choice.

Stay as she is, or become the person her inner voice wants her to be?

And at what cost?

A debut novel, Derailed is a frank and often funny exploration of real relationships.

About the author

Most of my life has been spent around animals, which is why I probably work in a veterinary office. Next to animals, my main passion is reading. I read tons and tons of books. I have so many favorite authors that there isn’t enough room on this page to list them. I have always written stories, but something about them didn’t ring true with me. When I read my first erotic book, on my Kindle, I was hooked. This was what I wanted to write.
I hope you enjoyed my books and continue with me on my journey of excitement and adventure. Not to mention hot, steamy, passionate sex. Oh La La.

A great read - loved Mena and Annie 😁

[Alice Lloyd · Rating 4 out of 5]

The end felt a little disappointing, flat and underwhelming and a little dragged out (the last chapter). However prior to this the book had very relatable themes underpinning the story, for example anxiety and watching the protagonist's growth and journey and seeing their inner thought processes really made this overall an enjoyable read. It was predictable at times, but in an enjoyable way due to the relatability of the character's challenges.
