5 Star Review for DRAMA MUSCLE from Crysta'ls Many Reviewers

“This is a wonderful addition to the series! I fell in love with Nicky in the first book and he just gets better. Filled with humor and action. Noah evolves in this story, his character grows into a more mature yet still adorable sidekick to Nicky. They are perfect together, in detective work and in family situations. I hope that there are more to follow.” Thank you Crystals Many Reviewers for the 5-star review of DRAMA MUSCLE, the second Nicky and Noah mystery from Lethe Press after DRAMA QUEEN (Divine Magazine’s Choice for Best Mystery of 2015!) http://www.crystalsmanyreviewers.com/...
