Mersaidee is a gifted writer. This is a remarkably imaginative work. She has tasked herself with creating a hidden world within our known world.
Her vulnerable protagonist confronts the most daunting and adverse circumstances imaginable but remains unbroken. Viola's voice is compelling
throughout the book. We are always rooting for her.

Reviews
Viola Ted embodies the truth-telling characteristics of many of Karen Slaughter's domestic noir thrillers that I love. The suspense in Viola Ted kept me turning those pages with its gut-punch, fast-paced, raw, emotional storytelling, revealing the lengths people will go through to keep their secrets hidden. I connected with her beginning story. Bring on book two, please!
