MY REVIEW

Mia Sheridan, the Author of “THE FIX” has written an impressive, intriguing and captivating Psychological Romantic Thriller. WOW! This is a book that is a “Mover” and a “Shaker”! I had trouble putting this down. The Genres for this novel are : Mystery, Suspense, Psychological Thriller, New Adult Thriller, and Romantic. In this well written novel, Mia Sheridan vividly describes the scenery, the plot, the narrative, and the dark and dramatic characters. There are twists and turns, surprises, edgy suspense, betrayals, danger, murders and startling suspects. The Female Protagonist of the story,Cami Cortland survives a tragic home invasion where her mother and sister are both killed. Years later Cami answers the phone, and a disguised robotic voice asks her if she would like a “DO-OVER”? Included are photos of a young boy that is imprisoned that looks familiar. She is warned not to contact the police. The only person, who can help her is also from the past and was involved in this situation. She requests help from Rex Lowe, now a computer expert that has military training.

I appreciate how Mia Sheridan weaves this story from the past, how it dangerously impacts the present, and makes one wonder about the future. This is a unique thriller that had me chewing on my nails, and jumping on any sound that I heard. .This is a thought-provoking novel with good and evil, that I highly recommend to other readers.
