 Reviews

"The type of novel that is likely to attract an adaptation from Netflix" -Vincent Dublado, Readers' Favorite

“A heart-stopping thriller… A very interesting and impactful story. And very intense.” ENRIQUE BIÉNZOBAS

“We find ourselves with two perfectly-outlined, decisive characters […] the kind of couple that makes literature, and upon whom rests some of the greatest stories ever written.” (NI UN DÍA SIN LIBRO).

“The author, with impeccable narration, manages to maintain the rhythm of the story, and as it continues it becomes more difficult to tear oneself away from its dizzying progression.” EDUARDO H. VISQUERT (ALGUNOS LIBROS BUENOS).

“Manuel Dorado knows how to keep the reader’s attention for 500 pages.” MIQUEL BARCELÓ LETRAS PERDIDAS)

“Straightforward prose. Unexpected twists. A studied rhythm.” RITA PIEDRAFITA (PALABRAS EN CADENA)

“The story does not stay on the page. It jumps into the reader’s mind and appeals to their ethical values.” IZASKUN ALBÉNIZ (FILIAS’ HOME).

“It grips the reader from the first few pages and does not let go until the book has ended, leaving the reader wishing it had lasted a little longer.” ANTONIO F. RODRÍGUEZ (LA ANTGUA BIBLOS).

“An ending like this, with rhythm, with nervousness, with release, with tension… of not being able to put the book down. It contains a question and an antagonist I like more than the protagonist.” (MI RINCÓN PRIVADO).

“The atmosphere is so well established, with such detailed and vivid images, that it was like watching a film… I love when an unknown, self-published author surprises me with such an accomplished book.” (CONVERSANDO ENTRE LIBROS).
