Three teens, one week on an Alaskan cruise, and an endless trail of lies…

“This story was extremely well-developed… A great balance of mystery and intrigue with a truly fabulous cast of characters.” – San Francisco Book Review

“The authentic characters, snappy writing, and compelling plots make it an ideal selection for any high schooler.” – Manhattan Book Review

“From its elements of intrigue to its daily exposés and challenges, Triplicity is an engrossing chronicle that is recommended for mystery and thriller enthusiasts as well as those who enjoy strong, proactive, often rebellious teen protagonists more than capable of taking matters into their own hands. It should also be noted that although the main characters are teens, Triplicity should not be limited to young adult audiences. The depth of characterization, flavors of romance, adult confidences, and alternating viewpoints keep this story lively and involving for all ages.” – Midwest Book Review

“There is something quite compulsive about this book.” – Goodreads Reviewer
