A well-written, intriguing, and fast-paced psychological thriller that revolves around secret societies, murder, terrorist attacks with a dash of romance, crime and many more makes for a great read. Certainly, lovers of this genre will enjoy reading it. Thanks for your review.

I've never been a fan of psychological thrillers, but a book that accurately portrays mental illness is hard to find. And I love a good, intense read.

I read a sample of the book and was not overly excited about it until I read the review. If you can get through the detailed backstory of the beginning, it sounds like a good story of suspense. Great review.

It's good to know that this book is well-written with a surprising ending. Right now I'm not in the mood for reading a psychological thriller, but look forward to it when I am. Great review!

This sound interesting already with science fiction, mental issue, romance, crime and mystery intertwine in a plot. I will love to read. Great review.

Yes, cannibals exist. Ritualists exist. You won't believe what happens in the dark and behind closed doors...sometimes you may think those fighting for privacy are only concerned about their naked bodies. Great work.

Psychological thriller, alright. It sounds like horror too. I'll read this on a day that I'm feeling particularly adventurous.

A hair raising, well-crafted psychological thriller that encompasses satanic rituals, murder, missing twins, secret societies, and state-orchestrated terrorist attacks. Readers will also be treated to science fiction, romance, crime, and mystery. A worthy read for fans of the genre.

Despite the raving review, you lost me at "satanic rituals." I can stomach the other aspects, but I vehemently steer clear of anything that has satanic involvement, be it books, movies or games. I'm sure it would appeal to its target audience, though. Thanks for sharing the details.

The mention of "...satanic rituals, murder, missing twins, secret societies, and state-orchestrated terrorist attacks." suggests to me that there is a lot going on in this book. I wish the author would eliminate the subplot like you have suggested, this would make me love the read the book more. Thanks for the review.

Ritah, you make Pity the Devil's Wife sound terrific. But, your warning of graphic descriptions of violence tells me to leave this book out of my reading list! I'm rather sensitive to violence and/or (a main character's) death.

Therefore, I'll wait and see if someone makes this book into a movie. If that happens, I can fast-forward through the bad stuff!
