My Reviews

A great follow-up to Courting Rendition and in my opinion even better. The tension is there right up to the end. Will they won't they?

I really enjoy Maggie's second book and found it quite gripping. I felt Maggie's writing style has developed impressively and made this an easy book to read, but not too light.

The story was convincing - the mix of the familiar and recognisable from contemporary society combined with the nightmarish vision of an American dominated UK was all too easy to imagine.

The relationship between the protagonist and Karl, a member of the … See more
