New author, Destiny Booze, shows real writing potential in her debut novel, Altered Beginnings. The story was interesting from beginning to end, and I was genuinely surprised by some of the twists in the plot. The heroine was interesting and anything but clichéd. I also liked the hero, but I wished his character had been explored a bit more....I greatly enjoyed Altered Beginnings and am looking forward to reading Ms. Booze’s second novel, Predetermined Endings.

My 82 yr. old grandmother started reading this at 9 p.m. as she generally reads before falling asleep. She tried to sleep but the thoughts about this book and the action made her want to continue reading it. She had read it before she realized that it came to an end. That was at 2 a.m. All of us reading it here in Maine loved it and everyone has said they will look for your next book as an author they'd love to read from again.

Altered Beginnings is the first book of a fledgling new author, Destiny Booze. It’s a Mystery/Romance novel that will have you emotionally tied to the main character, Leigh Lawson, from the first pages of the book. You can’t help but hope that it all works out in the end for her but you’ll have to read the book for yourself to see how that comes about.
