No Way Out – a Review

No Way Out will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. This is a story about love and trust. It is a story about drug addiction and how it can destroy your life. It is a story about a woman who refuses to let her disability stop her from being the best that she can be.

If you woke up in a room with bricked-up windows and a boarded-up door where escape looked to be impossible, how would you react? Would you just give up?

Molly wakes up in just such an unthinkable situation, and her disability makes escape seem even more impossible. But how did she end up here in the first place?

Then we go back to how it all happened. By the way, I love it when a book opens up with the main character in dire circumstances and then backtracks to let you know how they ended up in such an impossible situation.

Molly has worked before as an insurance fraud investigator. But her former fiancé has destroyed her sense of self-worth. She goes home and settles for a job as a receptionist at Enchanted Realty. But her boring days are about to end. One day an armed man comes into the office and kills Molly’s friend Gloria, but Molly is kept from being killed by a mysterious stranger, who turns out to be PI Miguel Alvarez.

Molly has no desire to investigate Gloria’s murder until she finds a mysterious text on her phone that Gloria sent her the morning of the day she died. The things she discovers has her investigating a sex cult, some missing money, and a jaded love. Is there anyone Molly can trust?

Once you start this book, be prepared to not put it down again until you reach the end. I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. If you would like to read this fast-paced, unputdownable book for yourself, I’ve provided an Amazon link for you below.
