MEDIA REVIEWS
“A Killer Secret” Reviews:
Jeff Berney can craft a suspense story.
I found it difficult to put the book down.
Filled with descriptions that made the story and its characters come to life…
An addictive, devour-in-one-sitting thriller.
A hefty dose of darkness, mystery and intrigue create an engrossing psychological suspense…
“The Fall of Faith” Reviews:
Dark, twisted humor punctuates a weirdly gratifying story.
The author works beauty into tragedy with his lyrical prose and thought-provoking themes…
Metaphors and insights permeate this unexpected tale.
Anything but the usual genre read. Berney leads readers into entirely unpredictable realms…
A book about love, hidden pains, faith, and friendship.
I commend the author’s writing, which carried me through the book and made it exciting…
Dark and addictive…
Berney delivers a fine blend of thriller, beguiling romance, mayhem, and human drama in his latest novel…
Berney brings a unique sensibility to the story.
This small-town crime thriller presents an interesting premise with a sardonic tone, discomforting encounters, and a fresh twist…
Writer’s Digest
This book is exemplary.
It’s part romance, part urban fantasy, part alternate reality, part thriller, but it’s mostly an engrossing story that will keep the pages turning.
All main characters (including antagonists) are unique and fully fleshed out with compelling, layered motivations and traits. They are a real strength to the story.
