After spending years working in the corporate world, William J. Pomeroy finally decided to pursue a lifelong passion for writing. They currently reside in a quiet suburb where they spend most of their time outlining new stories, reading extensively, and occasionally attempting to bake.
Honestly one of the better books I've read lately. I loved how the story unfolded. It kept me guessing without being too confusing. Will be looking for more from this author.

It was okay. It had some good moments, but the overall plot felt a bit disjointed in the second half. Just right down the middle.
