Review
"...Hill mesmerizes with the horrific details of rape, self-blame and the will to live. Tracy's tale speaks for all victims who have been brutalized and fought back. It also speaks for those who suffered and died without ever seeing their attacker brought to justice. A compelling tale of pain, courage and hope. Kudos to Brenda Hill for having penned one of the finest suspense novels this reader has come across in a decade. Angry, yet compassionate, edgy, and yet, eloquent, Ten Times Guilty is a beautifully written tale of hope, suffering, and ultimately, of courage. The novel grabs the reader from the start, forcing her to experience a full spectrum of emotions as she accompanies a young woman on her journey through hell, and emerges with her on the other side. Like a master craftsman building a magnificent structure, Brenda Hill lays the foundation early on for a manuscript that sparkles, from the 'basement to the roof.' I am truly proud to have Ten Times Guilty in my personal library, sharing shelf space with the likes of Patricia Cornwell and Faye Kellerman. One can only hope this novel will be the first of many by this amazing author. In short, if you have not yet done so, do yourself a favor and buy this book." Today! --Faith V.

"As amazing as her recently released Beyond the Quiet, Brenda Hill continues to awe and inspire her readers. Her heroic female characters are impossible not to fall head over heels in love with. Brenda Hill has a knack for creating vivid characters that touch her readers to their very souls. As much as I loved reading this courageous story, a part of me couldn't help but wish it would end just so that Tracy's pain would end. I don't think I have ever hoped for a happy ending as much as I did with this book. Not only could the characters be portrayed in real life, but Brenda Hill creates real life situations that can or have happened to women. As a survivor of sexual assault, I found this story refreshingly honest regarding the actual emotions that women go through when they are violated. This tells me that Brenda did her research. This book reiterated the fact that women can find strength from places they never knew existed both within themselves and from the outside world. This is a great reading tool for women to help keep their spirits alive when they feel like giving up the fight and letting their perpetrators win. I would recommend this book to any woman who isn't afraid to laugh, cry, and share in the joys and sorrows of Brenda Hills characters as they fight to regain their lives and seek justice". --Ashley Merrill, Front Street Reviews
