What People Are Saying

I loved all the exciting elements that Ms. Ellscott weaves into each of her stories, she never fails to deliver a thrilling read. Her characters are such well-developed individuals, each with their own unique personality, quirks, and flaws- making them interesting and easy to connect with and invest in. I was right by their side, drawn into the story and experiencing everything right alongside them. Which, as I have mentioned in previous instalment reviews, would translate well onto the big screen- or make a great, long-running, television series.

~ Shadowed Obsession, Amazon Review

Mavery Ellscott is quickly becoming my favorite author. The drama, tension, twists, turns, and realism she brings to these pages with her words is truly astonishing! I have never been so impressed and on edge as I was reading his book.

~ Shadowed Agenda, Amazon Review

I was first introduced to this series in 2024, and I haven’t looked back since. If you enjoy a good suspense thriller, Mavery Ellscott is the author for you. She has come a long way since her debut book, Shadowed Obsession, I strongly recommend reading the books in order, even though each one can stand alone, as the characters cross over and you'll get to know all their quirks.
