I read the sample on Amazon, and I was not so impressed by the writing. It feels a little clumsy. I'm not surprised to hear that the character's back stories and descriptions are not consistent. Thank you for reviewing!

It seems like this book has potential once it is edited professionally. The storyline and plot sound interesting. Unfortunately, with the theme of pedophiles throughout the contents and the explicit sex, I will pass on reading this novel. Thank you for the excellent review.

At first I was captivated by the suspense in this book and I was ready to give it a try but I realized that the errors and inconsistencies will really put me off.Professional proofreading will go a long way for this book because it has an engaging suspense.Thanks for your review.

The book sounds interesting because it is based on real life experiences and family life.

This book sounds like its all over the place. I tend to get very annoyed with these types of errors, the kids genders changing, and how many children they say the mother has. It does also sound very convoluted. I don't think I'll be reading this book, so thanks for reading it and letting us know how it went. :)

Your review is nice, I loved it. I would love to read more about the mystery that's hanging around Maria's life. It sounds like a very interesting read but on the other hand, the errors mentioned are too glaring to be ignored.

This story sounds a bit confusing and inconsistent. I chose not to read about things like pedophilia and sex recruiters. Even if it held interest, I wouldn't read this book until the errors were addressed.

This is a fictional novel that reads more like a memoir... I'll sample it to see if some of the central themes will appeal to me. Nice review
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

It is off-putting that the book has that much errors. The confusion about the names and genders of the children is a weird one. The fact that it leaves one hanging with unanswered questions is also a turn off. I would love to read it once it has been edited rightly. Great review by the way.

This book seems a bit confusing to me. The plot seems to have lots of twists and turns and the page numbering issue would be quite off-putting to me. I am going to pass on this one. Great review, though! 🙂
