The term “novel” means exactly that; something original, something new. And, each novel should be exactly that.
Precisely what Julia Madeleine’s novel, NO ONE TO HEAR YOU SCREAM is. An original work.
For starters, it takes us inside the mind of a brutal criminal. Madeleine isn’t the first novelist to do so, but unlike many who attempt to convey criminals to their readers, hers rings true. As a former criminal myself, I’m perhaps more sensitive to how writers portray outlaws, an More...

Here's an author that I will definitely be returning to! Great story, interesting characters and enough violence to keep me happy.
Madeleine takes you on a trip to a beautiful house in the remote countryside - the most beautiful spot imaginable and in this amazing setting she creates the home to die for (hehe...there's a pun there folks). If you love browsing through House and Home magazine then you'll pretty much have seen the type of house she creates. What more could anyone ask for? More...

Rory Madden wants his custom built home back and he will stop at nothing to get it! After being arrested in a drug sting Rory loses his home to foreclosure. It wasn't like he didn't have the money to make the mortgage, it was that he was locked up and couldn't get to it, so he tells his lawyer where the money is hidden and instead the lawyer tells him the money is gone. Rory knows the lawyer stole his money, and when he is released from jail on a technicality, he decides he is going to get his m

Justine Jameson has her share of problems. She's a teenage single mother of an infant baby, recently moved back in with her father and stepmother after the failure of her relationship with the baby's father. Her parents' relationship is hanging by a thread, as is her father's business.
And that's not the worst of it. Justine hears things; voices in her head warning her of a horrible fate awaiting her child, warning her she is incapable of caring for a baby, making her fear for her ver More...

In every dream home a heartache.
Seventeen year old Justine is a single parent who is going through major post-natal depression and is, it seems, as batty as a cave full of Guano. She lives with her father, whose business is going down the Swanee, and his wife, who has a dark secret and whose daughter only recently died.
So, the dysfunctional family move out into the countryside, for a fresh start in an idyllic country house, which they happen to get remarkably More...

A mind blowing engaging thriller keeping you on the edge, page after page.
No One To Hear You SCREAM is a thriller that will leave you breathless, yet longing for another chapter. The story does not take long to unravel, from the start you can feel Rory Madden, a hot kick ass British, and one of the main characters, has deep dark secrets and will let no one stand in his way of what he wants. What it turns out he does want is a mix of revenge and satisfaction for losing his picturesque More...

Amazing characterization, twisting plots and constant action will keep readers riveted to the pages of No One to Hear You Scream!
No One to Hear You Scream is a story of blackened innocent. Questions, doubts, revenge and lies. The "gray people" totally sent shivers down my spine as goose flesh prickled, the passion sent tingles and the murders ripped my heart into tatters. I have to honestly say that Julia Madeleine wove a perfect story to send my emotions on a roller coast More...

I was fortunate enough to pick up a copy of Julia’s novel, and I was really impressed. In an interview she admits that the basic premise was based on reality: she and her husband bought a country house in foreclosure only to be vandalized by the former owner, still angry at losing his house.
In her own words: “When it started to escalate we called the police to report the vandalism and they were the ones who told us they believed it was the former owner. Apparently he was well known to More...

So far I've been pretty lucky with first-reads. This is only my second book I've received from it, but I have loved both. I wouldn't have discovered this without first-reads, so I'm glad I received a copy.
I was quickly sucked into the story, although it took a while to build up intensity it still kept me captivated. I had mixed feelings towards the antagonist, whom at times I liked and sympathized towards, but then at other times I hated him and would be happy when he was dead and gone. More...

A book that's hard to put down. Right from page one to the last page you are pulled into murder and mystery. A book you NEED to read "just one more page" before going to bed. Awesome reading, well written. Highly recommend.
