Review of advance copy received from Author
Haze has it all corruption, suspense and romance and Emma is caught up in it all as she tries to uncover what the PureGreenAire Corporation is trying to cover up. It reads like a movie and had me all caught up in it. The story is descriptive and I felt like I was right there in the midst of the drama as the story unfolds. You can’t help but connect with Emma in this thrilling story.
