About the author

I've been writing since I was about 10 years old, if not before. My grandmother taught me how to love a good book and I will always be grateful for that. I live in Maine with my husband, our dog Pumpkin and our cat, Shadow. I'm working on my next book currently.

Reviews

[Brittney Dunphy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is Karla Jordan's third novel and by far her best work. Her books are quick reads and would be a reasonable choice for any adult reader.

There are some grammatical errors and inaccurate statements that can be easily disproved by a Google search.

Overall, it was a good pallet cleanser of a book. I'm looking forward to seeing how Karla continues to improve as she continues to write.
