Reviews

Sophie's thrillers are brilliant, you never know what's on the next page and you can't stop reading until you find out. --Robert Muchamore, author of the Cherub series Sophie McKenzie has her finger on the pulse of a future that is all too plausible...It just does not let up, & I found myself devouring it. --ShrinAlpa (Blogger, also children's bookseller for Waterstones Northallerton) A terrifying, fast-paced thriller that you won't be able to put down. --Teen Now, four-star review Had me completely hooked from the first to the last page --Kirsty, Overflowing Library (on Good Reads), four stars EXPLOSIVE!...It's actually like being on a high speed train, heading to an unknown and dangerous destination. You think you are going to take one route and then the author switches tracks...it almost had an eerie premonistic feel to it, in the same way George Orwell's 1984 did. A gritty, thrilling and fast paced novel. --Serendipity Reviews McKenzie's fast-paced novel...is a gripping read...Readers may find themselves binge reading to the end. --VOYA This political whodunit...boasts more than a dash of romance and plenty of action. The result is something of a cross between Pnina Moed Kass' Real Time and Robert Muchamore's CHERUB series. --Booklist Split Second is a rollercoaster of a read, full of twists and turns and betrayals --The Book Bag
