Sinossi
AMERICAN PSYCHO meets BASIC INSTINCT meets SEX & THE CITY
S C CUNNINGHAM writes sexy thrillers full of twists, turns and
intrigue, goosebumps one minute, laughter the next. Her style is compared to
that of Martina Cole, Karen Rose, Jilly Cooper. Her favoured writers are
Cornwall, Connelly, Patterson, Child, Cole, Corbin, Christie.
CUNNINGHAM has worked in the celebrity driven worlds she writes about, mixed with rock stars, royalty, footballers and
maverick moguls, and safely crossed the path of a brutal serial attacker. Her
diverse life and quick witted honesty afford her novels a level of authority and
sincerity rare in fiction. With a skilled mix of fuelled tension, dark humour
and pulsating sex scenes, she has it all; fear, laughter, arousal and thought
provoking questions, leaving the reader wanting more.
Naughty, nice and nasty - I loved it!
I read this book as I was lucky enough to meet the author! She's utterly gorgeous and charming with sparkly eyes and a giggle that fills the room. Who'd have known she could write about such dark and sinister people? I was warned that the opening chapter is pretty horrifying - but it does prepare you for some of the horrors to come, at least! Set in London, there are characters that we can all recognise, some of whom I fell in love with. Other characters are less likeable - but only because they'd been written well! An added bonus is that the characters are developed well throughout the book by the author. I changed my opinion of one or two - but the writing allowed this to feel natural - and didn't jar as it has in some other books I've read! Gay or straight the characters are sexy - and their liaisons completely believable and add to the plot! And the twist at the end took me completely by surprise... Perhaps not for the fainthearted but so, if you dare, pick up a copy or download it and ENJOY! xx

'Cunningham has crafted an epic in proportion novel here. Her characters are sultry and as real as they can get. I recommend this book very highly.'
Glen C, Amazon, 5 Stars, Great novel about sex. Dynamic Characters, USA
'Penance List is a compelling novel. Even though the read is 470 pages, I found myself snatching it up every chance I could, wanting to see what David would do next. The book is dark, naughty...sometimes downright nasty. Cunningham's first novel will hold your attention to the very end'.

'Penance List is a mind-bending instant classic. Be on the lookout for more from this immensely talented rising literary star.'

'A really good read preferably in daylight! One minute horrified the next laughing out loud, I finished the book covered in goose bumps'.
Amazon, UK
'Have to say the book is fabulous ... I'm pretending it's not my cup of tea as supposedly a girlie read but genuinely brilliant!'
Richard, Monte Carlo, Monaco
'My God you shocked my shoes off. Excellent work! '

'Boy, if anyone can write about sex this lady can! It's a complete turn on from start to finish, no writer's ever done that for me before!! You're a very brave lady Ms Cunningham, and I love what you've done: you've somehow given us all the things we want to read about in one. It makes you shiver, it makes you laugh out loud, it intrigues you, it arouses you.

'Bravo! Cunningham artfully weaves a compelling tapestry of murder, mayhem, and Martinis in her latest work, ''The Penance List." Delicious and salacious, this novel offers a new twist on the modern romance and the classic psychological thriller. It is a riveting tale filled with colorful characters, suspenseful sequences, and titillating twists. A fabulous read for those who dare!'

'I raise a glass, I'd love to meet anyone who writes like this. Blown away to the point of speechless. Shocking, vivid and bloody well written!! '
