Reviews
“Love. Love. Love. This book was everything. Written so you could vividly imagine everything that was happening. You will not be disappointed. I’m patiently waiting for another book. Monika, you killed it with this one.”
Five-star Amazon review
The third book, The Evolution of Nikki Blue has captured my entire heart!! Nikki's strength and mentality is tested in her latest trials. From the first page of book 1 to the last page of book 3, I was truly engaged emotionally.
Amazon Review
“Monika is courageous. Hearing her speak touches your heart and gives you permission to be fearless at a time when being different is very unpopular.”
