REBLOG: Signal Boost: On the Brat List: Keta Diablo

Where the Rain is Made - Keta Diablo

FROM ME:  Please post comments back on source post shown at bottom, thanks.  I suspect a cry for attention rather than real upset because the review from three years ago actually said that writing wasn't bad but that reviewer just could not connect with the novel—which causes author to call reviewer/site a cyber bully.

 

REBLOG:  Author Keta Diablo had a Twitter meltdown today where she vociferously denounced the Book Smugglers as "cyber bullies" over this DNF review from three years ago

@booksmugglers I don't ally myself w/ STGB I ally myself with facts from my own experience w your site. Your reviews smack of insincerity
 
ketadiablo ‏@ketadiablo 1h
