Happy Book Birthday, I Am Justice!

My kick-ass book is here and running around in the world creating trouble!!! Woohoo! I am so freakin’ excited!! Plus I found out late last night that Amazon picked I Am Justice as a Best Books of the Month!! ???? ?Great reviews like those from Publishers Wkly, Romantic Times, and Kirkus Reviews. It’s a Bookpage Top Pick and now this!! I’m blown away!!

I’m so thrilled with the reception for this novel. And at the risk of getting all braggy, BookList–published by the American Library Association for over 100 years–just released this amazing review:

“Muñoz Stewart gives us a high-octane adventure with her new series, Band of Sisters. Justice was sold to human traffickers as a child and saw her sister murdered by them. After the Parish family rescued her, she vowed that no woman would have to go through the humiliation and violence she did. The wealthy Parish family’s businesses and private school are covers for their real organization: a secret sisterhood of assassins, hackers, and scientists all rescued by the matriarch, Mukta, and all intent on combating crimes against women. With their resources, Justice finds the men who “owned” her in Jordan, and she’s ready for blood. Pretending to join the refugee work of soldier-turned-humanitarian Sandesh, she enters the country, but her quest isn’t the only thing that heats up in Jordan. Muñoz Stewart discusses such sensitive topics as human trafficking, sexual violence, and sexism, which are rarely examined in romantic suspense, while the diverse members of the Parish family and their mission to protect women everywhere give these topics a little more hope than usual.”

The last line of the review is exactly what I set out to do. Talk about the hard stuff, but give hope and encouragement. ❤
