“I went into THE HOPE TRIGGER expecting a straightforward action thriller, but what I got was something far more layered and memorable.”

“The Hope Trigger is an absolute masterclass in genre-blending. Deborah Riley-Magnus takes what starts as a gripping, high-stakes paramilitary rescue mission and brilliantly turns it on its head.”
Amazon, 5 stars
“Well researched with a surprising good knowledge of military techniques and a believable insight into the workings of an elite soldier's mind.
Worth your while to read.”

“A good beach read! Reminded me of a David Baldacci novel with a little Margaret Atwood. A mystical soul-search with a little action and suspense.”
Goodreads, 5 stars
“The Hope Trigger pulled me in with its intriguing premise and kept me interested with the way it combines high-stakes action, psychological tension, paranormal mystery, and an unexpected emotional connection.”
Amazon, 5 stars
“Max's Journey of the Soul I really enjoyed this book. It's action-adventure with something more; Max confronting his past to save not only Hope, but his own soul. The story itself is deep; gives you plenty to think about and ponder. I highly recommend it.”
Goodreads, 5 stars
“The most interesting part of The Hope Trigger isn't just the danger surrounding Max and Hope, but the way Max has to confront his own past. The story explores trust, vulnerability, and what happens when someone who is used to saving others realizes that he also has things he needs to face himself.”
