Beauty and the Boss
“This was a story of love and passion but also of surprises and secrets. I loved it!”—Kitty Kat’s Book Review Blog
“The story gripped me from the first page, both the relationship between the two main characters, as well as the drama of the issues that threaten to bring down the business. …Vali’s writing style is lovely—it’s clean, sharp, no wasted words, and it flows beautifully as a result. Highly recommended!”—Rainbow Book Reviews
The Devil’s Due
“This is an enthralling, nail biting and ultra fast moving addition to the Devil series. …The Devil’s Due is so fast paced you seriously have to concentrate, but once again Ali Vali has produced a brilliant story arc, solid character development, incomparable bad-ass women in traditionally male roles, leading both the goodies, baddies and cross-breeds. This episode closes off some of the loose ends, but sets us up for even more drama in the stories to come. This is a stand-alone, but I would seriously recommend starting this series at the beginning. The overarching story arc is so good, the interrelationships so complex, that while it might make a good read, you will simply be missing too much back history and nuance of personal interplay to get the most from it.”—Lesbian Reading Room
“A Night Owl Reviews Top Pick: Cain Casey is the kind of person you aspire to be even though some consider her a criminal.

The Devil’s Due is a book I highly recommend and well worth the wait we all suffered through. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out.”—Night Owl Reviews
Beneath the Waves
“The premise of an ancient but much advanced Atlantean race under the sea was brilliantly constructed, with an all female world and an ability to procreate without men. It was skillfully written and the imagination that went into it was fantastic. …The author managed to insert a real fear and menace into the story and had me totally engrossed. The love story between Vivien and Kai was slow burning but beautifully pitched. …I loved this book and it gave so much more than I expected. A wonderful passionate love story with a great mystery.”—Inked Rainbow Reads
