Book Review: Mayhem

I am reviewing a copy of Mayhem through St Martin’s Press and Netgalley:




*Due to subject matter I would not recommend this book to those under 14 years of age due to the subject matters it deals with...




The year is 1987 and it’s not all Madonna and Cherry lip gloss.  Mayhem has always known that there was something not right about her Mom, Roxy.  It may be Roxy’s constant physical pain, or maybe it’s Mayhem’s pull to the water.  No matter what it is she knows that they are different.






After Mayhem’s Stepfather finally goes to far, Roxy and Mayhem flee to the Coastal beach town of Santa Monica, California , the place that holds the answers to the question of who her Mother is as well as the mysteries about her own self.  It is there she meets the kids who live with her aunt, it opens the door to the female lineage in her family, the magic Mayhem is about to experience and that will change her life for the better.



But after getting caught up p in the search for the man who has been kidnapping girls from the beach, her life takes another dangerous turn, she is forced to face the price  of  vigilante justice.  She finds herself having to ask if revenge is worth the cost.



I give Mayhem three out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
