    I had only recently learned of the 'treatment' for hysteria in that time period. Have to say that you did a wonderful job at portraying it and Constance's emotions. Very much enjoyed reading.

    Though not my usual cup of tea, this was a well-written, hot and exciting read.
  • Zombie Punter (Zombie Era, Book 1) on May 04, 2010
    star star star star
    This was a great zombie tale with a wonderful main character. The ending was a bit of a surprise, and of course, there's death and gore - it is a zombie story! If you like tales of human endurance, continuing in the face of unbeatable odds, you'll love Zombie Punter. G L Drummond
  • Hush Money (Talent Chronicles) on Aug. 19, 2010
    star star star star
    Hush Money is a good, fast paced introduction to the world of Talents. If you like YA and paranormal stuff, this looks like a good series to start reading. The characters were entertaining and well-fleshed; the action smooth and well-handled. Great read. =)

    I sat down and read it in one sitting. There is a lot to like about this story, especially the relationship that develops between Elodie and Sawyer. Mystery, action, character growth...all extremely well done. Sawyer is a perfect alpha male hero, without being an overbearing jerk. Elodie is a strong heroine, but not to the point of being annoying. She can step back and accept help, without losing an iota of her strength. Loved it. You wrote a winner, Kait Nolan!

    Fast-paced, rollicking, horrific ride. Super characterizations, a lot of unexpected twists, and just a totally absorbing read. I 'know' Zoe via Twitter. Purchased the ebook after reading the sample. You done good, Z. =)
