Raised by her mother, after her father’s abandonment, Daniella now has one unsuccessful marriage under her belt, so to speak and her current relationship with artist and drug addict Tony is a rollercoaster of emotions at best.

In the meantime, strange happenings occur at Daniella’s
ex-husband’s new animal hotel and the bizarre behavior of his current wife and
her lust for everlasting leave Daniella with an uneasy feeling. Should she express
her concern or let it go and concentrate on her own bizarre relationship with
Tony? Can Daniella hold it together and actually make something of her life or
will it to be too late? Find out in Mayra Calvani’s mind-blowing mystery and
suspense novel. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Calvani’s
expert knack of the peculiar will surprise you to the very end. Bravo!

Hi Donna--thanks for sharing Mayra's new book. Obviously, not for kids this time! :) I love books that keep you guessing until the end. That's hard to do as an author, and I admire anyone who can do it well!
ReplyDeleteVery nice review. I remember Zorro well. The characters make this a fun and interesting story.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise, Donna! I didn't even know you were reading it. Thank you so much for taking the time to write the review and for your generous comments. I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why your Amazon button didn't pick up the new cover...
Best,
Mayra
