Review: TRUST ONLY ME by McGarvey Black

An employment recruiter by day and a mystery thriller writer by night. But what if the stories started coming true? That’s what happened to this author. Her dark story of a demented pyro-teen that caused buildings to explode was actually happening. What?

After self-publishing several of her books, getting an agent and a book deal was a writer’s dream come true. But it was only getting worse for Jillian.

I liked the candid diary prose of this writer. The grim and cut-throat reality of the publishing world was so spot-on. It was truly scary.

“It looked like real-life arson was helping my books catch fire.” Clever!

The story took a detour when the character went on about her family issues and how she met her husband. All that took up too much time. Let’s get back to the bombing. But if she wasn’t talking about her life story, she was harping over her unpublished manuscript, obsessing over every detail and taking everything so personally.

This was an okay read, but it definitely wasn’t as thrilling as I thought it be.
