First Canadian reviews for Switch appear

[Grant McKenzie]

Advance Reading Copies of SWITCH are starting to make the rounds to book bloggers and media reviewers. The first review to go viral is just terrific and I couldn't be more pleased. I'm truly hoping that Canada embraces it and I can't wait to be able to walk into an actual book store and see my wee debut sitting on the shelf and, more importantly, in readers' hands.

Here's a blurb from Nicola's excellent review: "All I can start out with is a big WOW! ... What an incredible story that in truth could happen to anyone ... An amazingly intense read. This is one that hits home, uncomfortably close. How far would you go to save your family’s lives? Read this one!"
Full review is also available on Chapters and Amazon.ca

Blogger Shirley Rempel says: "If you want to read a thriller that will take you on more twists and turns than a roller coaster, you must read Grant McKenzie's debut novel, Switch. This book had me wondering what was going to come next, with every turn of a page. A very intense, fast-paced, high-emotion and intense psychological thriller that you will not put down until the last page. . . . With a writing style that is crisp and reminiscent of crime writers like Patterson and Grisham, along with a great group of characters, this is a fantastic debut novel" Review here.

Mark Leslie, writer, editor, blogger and bookseller from Hamilton, Ontario says: "With a 'regular guy caught in a terrible nightmare' scenario, reminiscent of some of the recent novels of Linwood Barclay, McKenzie has crafted a brilliantly paced thriller certain to be enjoyed and quickly consumed by thriller lovers everywhere."

Teena Dawson of the Teena in Toronto blog says: "Hard to put it down! The chapters are short and snappy ... and I kept saying, "I'll just read one more chapter ... one more chapter". The pace is quick and frantic and kept my attention. I wanted to know who was behind it and why." You can read the full review here.
