Audiobook Girl on the Brink "highly recommended"!
I was a guest on Pamela Fagan Hutchins' radio show recently and Pamela then listened to the audiobook of "Girl on the Brink." This is what she said in her 4-star Bookbub review!"I so enjoyed reading this wonderful book by Christina Hoag for her appearance on my Wine Women & Writing radio show. It's a haunting cautionary tale of dangerous teen romance, well-written, tightly plotted, and highly recommended...by me!"
It was great to be interviewed by Pamela, who's a pretty interesting lady herself! Check out her mystery series!

new 5 star review from Skin of Tattoos
Just in on Amazon from a reader who I sold the book to personally: "I was hooked from the beginning. Very compelling, involving story. Make a great TV series, although a tough sell in overly politically correct environment. Fairly depicts all sides of immigrant life in LA." 5 stars..woohoo!
