Book Blurb:
"Even if a dog goes mad, it will always be a dog."
So said a small white sign hung on a wall in Birmingham Mental Institution Ward number 3. It had a black frame, written in a hand they were all well acquainted with. The letters had faded over time. In the end, among all the calligraphy in the frame, one could detect a blurred signature. It was mine.
John Wilcox is a young idler who loathes people except for young women. His destiny brought him near Birmingham Mental Institution during an earthquake. At that time Wilcox saves Elsie, an eccentric, half-deranged teenager. John pulls out every manipulation at his disposal to convince her that he is the right person to help her recover. Grey, Alessi's father, goes on a quest for his lost daughter. She, too, like her mother, was trying to escape him. And so, began the tragic story between prey, and it's supposed predator.
Wicked Girl is a psychological crime fiction, where a sequence of accidents generates cold-blooded, and blood-curdling actions. It is a fascinating combination of romance, tension, and humor, unpredictable to the very end. Presented in a clear, straightforward way, yet its plot is packed with wit, action, and surprises grabbing the reader's attention all the way to the last word.

MY REVIEW
"Even if a dog goes mad, it will always be a dog."
Firstly I read this in one sitting. It’s a quick read and I felt as if the author sucked me in from the start.
I’m still not sure about this story. Not in how good it is but more like what the heck have I just read kinda way. You know those stories that have you thinking all the way through. With questions running through your mind and your waiting for answers. This is one of those reads.
Great read with plenty of twists and turns. Didn’t see that ending coming which is a big plus from me. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
