Reviews of Cupid

Cupid is a very well-written, suspenseful thriller with as many surprises as Christmas morning. The clever author will keep you — and the detective protagonist — guessing about the identity of the killer until well into the book. One of the most intriguing aspects of the novel is the cast of helpful, unusual characters who supports the detective in her search for justice. It's also nice to see an intelligent, determined female main character who never gives up, even when she becomes the killer's target. This difficult time of our lives is the perfect time to sit down with a good mystery, and this compelling thriller will not disappoint.

Cupid is a riveting, page turning thriller. Plan to set aside a few hours to read as it’s hard to put down. I found myself cheering for Maddy in her pursuit of Cupid. Hang on for a wild ride and a nail-biting finish. I would love to see this book as part of a series.

Kept me in suspense throughout the book! Not until the author wanted me to know who Cupid was, did I figure it out. I love a good mystery read, and this proved to be a great one. I finished it in just a few days! I’ll be looking for more from Netti.

Cupid is far from your classical sweetheart story. This is a fast-paced thriller exposing a heinous hunter who becomes the hunted. A real page turner by an emerging author ... John Netti.

Oh, my goodness, I couldn’t put this book down. I became absorbed into the characters personalities, past and present blend for an exciting read. Looking forward to the future series of John’s stories.

Janet

Great book from a first-time author. It's easy to lose yourself in the story. The captivating characters draw you into the suspense. I can't wait for the sequel!

Terri

I couldn't put it down. Cupid is a classic cop chasing the criminal drama, except who is really chasing who? Fresh insights, lots of plot twists, and great characters make this book a must-read!
