edit data

DL Hammons wrote his first piece of fiction decades ago to impress a girl (he was moderately successful) and never looked back.

Growing up as a military brat, DL moved around quite a bit as a kid. After graduating from LSU and raising a family in several southern states, he now makes his home in Central Arkansas, where he has spent the last dozen years perfecting his voice, splitting his writing time between YA and Adult Mystery/Suspense. Besides being an author, DL claims that the most interesting thing about him is that he lacks a sense of smell. Other passions include (but are not limited to) his family (including his two mini-Australian Sheppards), music, movies, video gaming, and cool weather camping.

Actual star rating 3.5 Enjoyable read, however, it was a bit predictable for me, and the POV changes during action scenes were disorienting.

“we are all like those balloons, an inner part that is the real us and an outer layer that we allow everyone else to see. Most of the time we can get a good read on people because their outer layer is mostly transparent, allowing us to see what’s inside. But there are people who possess an outer layer that is less transparent, and sometimes even mirrored, so you only see—” “—what they want you to see,” Delta finished.”
