Praise for Darkness of Perfection
“I loved this story – it was intense and the character development was excellent. My heart went out to Jayden, but at the same time was sad about the family life that Nicholas experienced. Had no idea how this story would end, but author Michael Schneider wrote such an emotional ending that I was in tears at her apt conclusion. So happy to hear that Michael will be writing a sequel because this story needs to continue. Definitely recommend!” ~ DiAnn
“Loving the enemy has never felt as right as it does in Michael Schneider’s sophomore novel, The Darkness of Perfection, a gripping tale of one young woman’s struggle against a powerful criminal family who see her as nothing more than one of their chattels.” ~ Andrea of Books, Baking and Other Objects of Beauty
“A complex, fast-paced, sexy thriller which will leave you begging for more. Definitely a five-star read.” ~Andrea of Books, Baking and Other Objects of Beauty
