In'Dtale Magazine "Serenade has a slow burn of a start, but the backstory is important...The writing is well executed, particularly the descriptive elements, something in which I feel the author truly excels. The scenes and action following the kidnapping are fantastic, with enough unexpected twists to keep the pages turning. I'd highly recommend this book to lovers of good, traditional YA with a unique plot." Readers' Favorite, 5-star review * * "It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a romantic suspense this much ... probably since my last Sandra Brown and that is saying something. ESPECIALLY for a first book from an author. Are you kidding me?!? THIS is what you're coming out of the gate with? I'll be stalking library shelves indefinitely for this author - she had me hooked after the first page.Lifetime fan. SO good." Julie Brandenburg, Little Miss Bookmark "WOW, what an awesome and refreshing read full of love, hate, surprises, mystery, loyalty and everything in between. There was always something happening at the turn of every page. This author truly has a knack for story-telling and spinning it just enough to keep you guessing and needing to read more. This is a spectacular debut read and I highly recommend it." - Jenny Bynum, Black Words White Pages "Female heroine. Check. Adventure with high stakes. Check. Strong and powerful story with intrigue and secrets. Check. I loved nearly everything about this story. It had everything I hope for and love in a YA book. The writing style and powerful way the author can showcase emotions makes me eager to read anything McKenzie will write next- fiction, nonfiction, picture books,or anything." - Rachel Barnard, Author "McKenzie is a promising author that is going to give readers a powerhouse trilogy that is sure to be successful."- Danielle Roberts, The Pluviophile Reader "This book really took me on for a ride. There was not a single dull moment and I will be waiting eagerly for the next one in this series!" - Poulami, Daydreaming Books ** ** ** ** From the Author I loved writing this book. Every single moment was an adventure for me. The setting is based on real places I've been that inspired many parts of the story line, from the majestic Banff Springs Hotel, the romantic and rugged Rocky Mountains, to the Canadian Death Race held in Grande Cache - peeps be crazy! True, real, die-for-you love, family secrets, and a strong female character coming of age while surviving the elements, was so much fun to dream up and write about. I hope you enjoy!
