Amazon Reviews: What Readers Are Saying

“I absolutely adore Ramona “Mony” Strong, the heart of the series. Also, dramatic action through the addition of a murder mystery that raises awareness of girl’s and women’s rights, and how it relates to Mony’s past, is effectively rendered. The well-earned ending knocks an emotional punch—tears.”

“Beneath the Bedrock is a great read by new author Julien Bradley. The book has a great storyline and is a “keep reading to see what’s happening next” kind of book. I am very much looking forward to the next part of the storyline. Highly recommend!!!”

“Between Fracture Lines continues the story of Mony, Massey, Nate, and John as they deal with old secrets coming to light and try to figure out who is behind suspicious activity aimed against their family. This book was a little confusing at times because it goes back and forth from the points of view of the four main characters but I was able to sort it out and remained interested in the story and how people were connected.”
