Reviews For Skorpion’s Death
The events of a complicated plot are neatly strung on a taut thread of tension. It's Cody's mind and voice, however, that steal this book.
Just the right mix of surprises, violence, bloodshed, terror and erotica.
Brierley's engrossing first person narrative becomes addictive. He engages all the senses with tactile descriptions of exotic locations and harrowing images of physical action. The suspense becomes palpable.
A stunner in more ways than one.
Cody is a breath of fresh air. She has style and guts. Mr Brierley is a fine writer and Cody is well worth getting to know.
