New Review for Prime Time

I just got a new review for my e-book "Prime Time" yesterday. And wow. I was blown away. It received Five Hearts from The Romance Studio. So thank you, Maura, for taking the time to read my story and for your kind comments:

Review from The Romance Studio:

Somewhere in the future the moon is settled by humans but, like too often happens, it has reverted to a two caste system. The Porters are workers doing whatever they’re told for little pay or benefits. The Techies are the educated, the people with power, control and all the perks. Deena is a popular Porter with enhanced senses. Jake is a Techie. The two join forces to stop the corruption and use of a powerful drug used to control anyone the villains choose.

Vicky Burkholder has built an excellent tale of romance and suspense. Deena, Jake, twin brother Sean, Tam and their friends the ghosts are exceptional characters with honor and courage in the face of some serious threats.. I think Ms. Burkholder has used some great descriptors in her wording to make the bubble they live in and the vents Deena travels through easy to visualize as we read.

I really like the way the author builds the story step by step until we’re in the middle of a conspiracy much more complex than just using humans to experiment with a drug to control them. The whole caste system is explored when some people like Jake and Sean from the Techie security finally find out what’s going on in their world and have some courage to help change it. Even when the unfair abuse affects them they don’t run away.

The computer Zeus is a hoot, reacting much like a human when people mess with his circuits. The ghosts show their skills and value in a world that would have just shot them off into deep space if they’d been found. This is really an easily read book that builds to a peak and literally explodes in the finale.

Overall rating: 5 Hearts
