Professional Reviews
Joseph M. Nassise, Author RIVERWATCH
Gigi Phillips debuts with a dark and compelling tale that proves there is power in words, particularly those used in a promise. DEALMAKER is seductive and insidious, much like the evil within its pages. Guaranteed to please even the dedicated horror fan, DEALMAKER is a definite do-not-miss!
Graham Hamer, Author PAPERCHASE
In DEALMAKER, Gigi Phillips proves herself to be Queen of Chill. With a wonderfully adept postmodern style and distinctly different narrative, her total mastery of the language will grip your heart and your soul from the very first page. In a style that is clear and uncluttered, the author displays her gift for writing and her equally precious gift for understanding how to touch people's minds. This is the power of Gigi Phillips' pen. It is a power she should wield with caution as she tells a tale of terror that spans six decades and touches the lives of numerous families. DEALMAKER is a book to be handled with care, with great care, in the full light of day. Lock it in a cupboard at night. Do not be tempted to unleash the demons when they are at their most powerful.
Molly Martin, Author THE INSPECTOR'S WIFE, Reviewer
The narrative is filled with drama, the unreal and a good measure of downright terror. Enthralling tale, highly recommended. NOT for the faint of heart nor to be read on a dark and stormy night when you are home alone.

| "DEALMAKER is a masterful work that artfully blends chilling suspense with rich nostalgia. The characters are truly palpable and beautifully fleshed out. Gigi Phillips' ability to create subtle and blatant literary images is both astounding and unforgettable. Her metaphoric mastery of the macabre is as uncanny as the Dealmaker, itself! A must-read for fans of the dark and enigmatic!" |
