Today marks one month until Loophole’s publishing date, November 30!
To commemorate this milestone, here is the first professional review for the book, which just came in this morning from Sublime Book Review: (I’ll share the link when they publish it on their own page; I was just too impatient to wait 😛 )
4.75/5 stars
“Alannah lives in a society similar to our present-day one, yet with a significant difference. In her world, an element called Visage exists. It affects people’s appearance according to their behavior. The nicer you are, the more beautiful you will be. If you commit crimes, lie, or break promises, you will develop ugly splotches on your face. The concept inevitably creates misuse and corruption, and Alannah’s penchant for finding loopholes leads her and her friends into the thick of it.
“Loophole is an exciting action adventure with a touch of the supernatural sprinkled throughout. The author pulls the reader into the story with a great hook and continues to weave an intriguing and humorous tale. Demonstrating excellent writing skills and a vivid imagination, Alex Hugie kept me zigzagging between amusement and edge-of-your-seat action. As did the protagonist, I had a difficult time knowing who to trust and who was involved in the dastardly happenings in Colorado Springs. Filled with quirky, well-described characters and an amazing setting, this novel was hard to put down and would appeal to a wide range of readers of all ages. I’m on the lookout for more from this author.”
