I reviewed INSIGHT and could not put it down. I love a good mystery-thriller novel.
As I read the book--it really had me in suspense--I kept trying to figure out how Samantha
and Rachael were linked together. I also loved the part where her family was very protective of her. But when
she took off and flew to New York by herself--being blind-trying to find out what happened to Rachael--I was just knocked
off my feet. The twists and turns of the novel really had me going. (Also with her playing the part of Rachael
which was brave of her.) It is definitely a page turner and a must read for a book clubs--I am suggesting that my
book club read this novel. I commend you on doing such a wonderful job with the novel and I really think a movie should
be made out of it. I give INSIGHT a thumbs up and will also recommend it to my friends.

Sugar & Spice by Keith Lee Johnson
Sugar & Spice is a very exciting book that is full of suspense and drama. I read that
book in less than 24 hours because I wasn't able to put it down. It will take you on a "thrilling" journey with the F.B.I.
agents who tries to figure out who is responsible for all the murders. It has a remarkable ending that will not only shock
you, but leave you wondering could that have really happened. It is a must read for all book clubs and anyone who is a fan
of mystery novels. I am looking forward to reading more by Mr. Johnson.
