Pieces of Ivy is featured on Carson Cove. Check it out!
Here’s an excerpt:Uncomfortable, in all the right ways, Pieces of Ivy is the first book in the Vicki Starr thriller series. This is not your typical crime thriller—Ivy introduces a shocking paranormal bent. The brilliance is how this supernatural element is weaved into play without consuming the story.
And while the lead characters share salient glimpses into what tragedies created who they are, beyond whom they are trying to portray to the world—with enough withheld to keep us hungry for the continuing saga—Ivy’s secondary characters jump out in full 3D; making even their momentary scenes memorable.
Themes of trust and judgment, of self-definition and reactions to life’s preamble, play out in Pieces of Ivy; as does our society’s diametrically opposed obsessions with beauty and sex, and the visceral hate that it musters. And in the fictional town of New Brighton, and of her citizenry, Mr. Covin has created an intriguing setting that you wouldn’t rush to visit.
