About the author

Blythe Baker is a thirty-something bottle redhead from the South Central part of the country. When she’s not slinging words and creating new worlds and characters, she’s acting as chauffeur to her children and head groomer to her household of beloved pets.

Blythe enjoys long walks with her dog on sweaty days, grubbing in her flower garden, cooking, and ruthlessly de-cluttering her overcrowded home. She also likes binge-watching mystery shows on TV and burying herself in books about murder.

Reviews

[Les Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short but very engrossing read. Recommend.

[Suzanne Duffelmeyer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too much rumination on

I have found that this book was very frustrating to read. Character spending an inordinate amount of time repeating and ruminating about herself. I think that it makes it less enjoyable and difficult to read.
