Reviews of An Angel Among Us:
Fabulous! By Sarah Reviews on March 11, 2017 - 5 out of 5 stars
Format: Kindle Edition
Author Janice Spina is a prolific and eclectic writer, whose creativity knows no bounds and whose books entertain readers of all age groups. Having had the pleasure of reading many of Author Spina’s earlier works, I looked forward to reading her newest creation and am happy to report that her first-ever short story compilation is ever so gratifying.
“An Angel Among Us” is fabulous. The characters that populate the short stories are from all walks of life, real and well-developed. Their touching stories resonate, as the protagonists confront and face up to life’s many challenges. Loss, regret, love and hope are ingredients you’ll find in abundance in this stirring and heart-string tugging book. Highly recommended!

Love Beyond Death, June 6, 2016

More implied violence & sexual content. Very tastefully written. I was a Beta Reader & LOVED this. The The love of a person for his family transcends death especially when his family is in danger. Gave me goose bumps. Awesome read.

The ever-talented Janice Spina does it again. Like in her other books, whether written for young children, teens or adults, "How Far is Heaven" hits the mark. You'll find it all in this entertaining book; suspense, emotions, good values, and a satisfying ending that fills you with anticipation for Spina's next creation. Highly recommended.

A captivating story you must have!
By Deanie Humphrys-Dunne on July 28, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
"How Far is Heaven" is a spectacular story of a young family, Parker, his wife, Priscilla and their children, Robbie and Deanna. Parker and Priscilla were deeply in love and enjoying a wonderful life together until Parker mysteriously disappears without a trace. The story is captivating. I didn't ant to put it down. You can feel the emotions of the story so deeply that it brought me to tears. You'll be astounded by the connection between Parker and Priscilla that even death can't sever. There's no doubt you'll love the story as much as I did. It' magical. Award-winning author, Janice Spina, should be extremely proud of her abundant talents. She wove the story perfectly. I highly recommend it. * I was given a gift copy to review.

THE DARK SIDE OF LIFE, November 13, 2014
This review is from: Hunting Mariah (Kindle Edition)
Do you want to walk inside the mind of a serial killer? What makes him tick? What makes him lust for blood? HUNTING MARIAH is a chilling and action filled tale from the dark side of life. This is a far cry from Janice Spina's other books - from children's books to sinister murderer. Being a writer of mysteries I liked the pacing. The characters and wondering why. Who did it is not the question. Blood and guts, twisted, you will long for justice - but does it come?

This review is from: Hunting Mariah (Kindle Edition)
Jump right into this intense crime, mystery, thriller set in a suburb of New York as author J. E. Spina introduces the reader to the thought process of a serial killer.
“His senses were tingling with the sight, smell, and feel of blood. The silky texture of it and its coppery smell and even the intoxicating taste of it. Just the smell alone could cause desire to rush through his body causing a compelling urge to kill. He felt a thrill at the prospect of taking a life.”
Meet Mariah Michelle Hampton and Dr. Roberts as he begins the slow meticulous process of bringing her memories back while in a safe place at the Dr. Darin J. Roberts Memorial Hospital in Lindan, New York. Many people care about and are looking out for Mariah whether she fully realizes it or not.
There are so many unanswered questions like who was the mystery man that dropped Mariah off at the hospital? How did he know her taste in clothing and detail to sizes when he dropped items off for her? What happened to her and why is it that she can remember some of her childhood memories, but not the last few weeks?
Travel with Mariah on a psychic journey to recover her memories and live with the consequences surrounding her trauma and life with a maniac that might still be at large and want to finish what he started.
Cold Coffee Press endorses Hunting Mariah - by J. E. Spina as the beginning of a great crime fiction series. This book was given to us in a PDF for review and the review was completed on January 5, 2015.

This review is from: Hunting Mariah (Kindle Edition)
This is an interesting story that I found hard to put down. A story of innocence robbed while maintaining the strength found in families and the support they provide while overcoming obstacles. The author takes you on the journey of Mariah as she regains her memory after encountering devastating trauma to her psyche. As the story line develops the reader is taken into ever darker places of a mentally disturbed individual seeking revenge of a life gone wrong. The story touches on the most fundamental human instincts - the fears that reach into our inner beings.
