"It has a little science fiction, a little mystery, and a little thriller aspects to it. May neatly combines elements of those genres to develop her story that stands out in its own right."

"The Venom of Vipers is a fast paced read with an interesting kick, exciting characters, and a unique story. I really enjoyed the pace and the believability of a future time and place in our possible history. In addition to being a futuristic thriller with a bizarre twist, the book is a great read that will keep you turning the pages and following the characters."

"What a fantastic sci-fi thriller from an independent author. Not only was it a good unique story but the writing was good also. I was really impressed by this book."
SHissong, reader 

"Although The Vemon of Vipers is a departure in genre from fantasy to sci-fi, it was just as gripping and compelling as the first book. ... I read it in one sitting. Highly recommended."
