"Sacrifice" by S.J. Bolton
It is very exciting to find debut novels that promise riches to come.
I use different names for each genre and subgenre.
I really enjoyed it.
I wonder though WHY did this author use a pseudonym? We can speculate that they have changed genres and want a fresh perspective from their readers, or perhaps they just want to generate some 'hype' to sell more books.
I picked this title for the intriguing sounding blurb, before I realized it was a pseudonym. It sounded like a character driven plot, which are my favorite kind...
What are your views on pseudonyms? (and this one in particular)
Welcome! You'll find many fellow readers, librarians, and a large number of authors here.
