Remix is my third novel; it's the story of Caz Tallis, who is startled one quiet Sunday morning to find a stranger asleep on her roof terrace...
I enjoy reading intelligent, pacey books with humour, and that's what I try to write. I believe it's a crime to bore the reader.
My day job (using my real name, Lexi Dick) is designing and making jewellery and silver; I've made pieces for Lady Thatcher, the Athenaeum and Her Majesty the Queen.
First in what I hope is a new series, set in an intriguing postapocalyptic world of city-states. Great world building and the story had an almost Dickensian/Victorian mood. Looking forward to sequels.
I haven’t read many dystopian novels but I was impressed with this. The characters were engaging and realistic – even the “bad boy” with a metal implant in his eye! There was just enough romance to keep me interested. They were clearly made for each other. I hope there’ll be a sequel.
I’ve read a couple of book by this author. And I love them. They are both my got to reread books. This one and ice diaries. It’s a slow burn romance with action. Love Xavier and cadence. I recommend this book highly and ice diaries too.
