What readers are saying about Mike Attebery's books:

"Intense scenes are balanced with believable dialogue and humorous moments that you can identify with."

"More than just another sex-fueled college romp, this provocative trip down the rabbit hole is packed with clever interactions, tense scenarios, and wonderfully defined characters. A dense psychological thriller that translates the fears and anxieties of young adulthood into a modern identity-bender."

"This book is creepy and sensual, two of my favorite things. Along with being an engrossing tale of horror, the characters and setting bring the reader back to those special school years of drunken love and fun."

"Upped the ante with great character development. A potent and punchy storyline."

"He builds vivid characters, draws them into complex interactions and moves things along at a blistering pace."

"The characters can really make or break a book for me, and these each (even the supporting characters) had a complexity that kept me interested and caring what choices they made and what happened to them."
