Reviews

"The twists and turns kept things interesting and always moving forward. Even events that you wouldn't expect to be related to the crime were deftly folded into the plot and given purpose. At no point did I think, 'Well, that was a nice scene, but what does it have to do with solving these murders' It all made sense. It was crafted well." —Carleen Spry, Frivolous Views

"Jody Klaire's debut novel is an exhilarating rush, a cross between the best of X Files and Orange in the New Black. Fast-paced, sharp, and very, very smart." —Marissa Cohen, She Magazine

"I'm not giving anything away but, The Empath is a taut tense thriller proving that there is two sides to every story and that everybody has their armour. How this series isn't in mainstream bookshops I don't know . . .  Bring on book two!" —The Book Lovers Library
