"I will be shocked if Apple+ doesn't come knocking to create a new tv show out of this series." ~ N. N. Light
“Wow, what a journey! This book (Songline) is beautifully written and thoroughly engaging. I really would like to read the entire series. You are definitely going to have success with it and it will make an awesome TV series/movie. Thanks for an excellent read (and I'm definitely well beyond the YA group)." Scribendi Editor EM328
THRILLERS
REDDITION
"Blenkush's well-written thriller successfully mines a well-worn mystery trope: '"the more you know, the less you like it."' ...an excellent legal thriller... readers will be guessing the end until the book's satisfying conclusion." ~ Kirkus Reviews
"Reddition is an intriguing tale of murder, family and political gain. It is a labyrinth of mysterious characters and unexpected plot twists that will take readers on a wild ride." Independent Book Reviewers.
"Reddition reads like a thriller, with more substance than you might expect from this genre. The novel has all the excitement, murders and occasional gunfights its readers anticipate. Still, there are some very interesting thematic undertones. At the heart of the story, is the question of how far a man, particularly a lawyer, will go to find the truth. To what extent should a sense of morality be chosen over ambition and personal safety?" Indiereader Reviews
STACY'S STORY
"...the pages fly by. Blenkush's second thriller holds the reader in its terrifying, suspenseful grip from the first day the couple sets up their campsite all the way to the explosive climax. With Stacy, Blenkush has created a memorable protagonist who's appealingly courageous and strong-willed." ~ Kirkus Reviews
"Powerful and emotionally overwhelming. I cried at the end. An incredible story. I highly recommend it." ~ Melissa Brown Levine, Independent Professional Book Reviewers
“John Blenkush’s novel Stacy’s Story is a harrowing depiction of one woman’s journey through hell on Earth. Stacy must push through the confusion and hurt to find if her love for life is enough to keep her going. What if it is not? Stacy’s story brings to light many questions that are not for the faint of heart but also emphasizes that perhaps our hearts are not as faint as we may initially believe them to be.” ~ Red City Reviews
"Gripping from start to end. Full of real life emotion. Makes you wonder how you would survive these circumstances! Did not want to put down until I finished!" ~ Margaret T
"Thought this book was amazing. I am not into dark stories about kidnap etc but as soon as I started to read I just couldn't stop. Very sad, heroic but with a very bright ending. Brilliant, and would recommend to others." ~ A.Niriain
