WHAT READERS SAY

If I could give this book more than 5* I would. I became totally invested in the characters, it was brilliant. So many twists and turns, it kept me hooked to the very end. I confess I didn't see the ending coming at all.

DONNA Goodreads reviewer

I really enjoyed Cruz’s idea of science regulating everything, including love, for the Vaelteurians and Mavis’ struggle to break with that tradition. Cruz also interlaces a good thriller with the romance, blending both with fast paced and steamy description perfectly! This one’s perfect for both sci fi and romance lovers!

JOSHUA GRANT Author, Amazon/Goodreads reviewer

A mix of sci-fi, mystery and romance; a story of love that transcends the vastness of the universe, what more can you ask for?

REIKA Blogger, Goodreads reviewer

The plot of twists are maintained throughout the book. Must read if you're a fan of romance+thriller genre.

SUMANTH VELAGA Amazon reviewer

A very intense story. Following his extreme reactions, her total confusion and then an extreme and interesting continuous plot-twist. I am so glad I continued reading to the end.

TONI SHORTSLEEVE Amazon reviewer

This is a story that touches on so many levels that appeals to different genres.

MERRY JELKS-EMMANUEL Amazon/Goodreads reviewer

The book was a series of revelations that will make you yearn to turn the next page just so you will know what happens next. It was an absolute delight to read. The plot was unexpected but well thought-out and unlike any other book I’ve ever read.

KINDLE25 Goodreads reviewer

What an awesome read. A heart wrenching thriller about love, loss and mental illness. I couldn't put it down. Have your tissues ready and prepare for the mind-blowing ending that you won't see coming.

LINDA Goodreads reviewer

Chroma Hearts by Mayumi Cruz is a gripping and thought-provoking story about fighting for love against mental illness, with a side of crime solving.

KB MENIADO Owner of bookbed.org / Blogger / Goodreads reviewer

... An entertaining enemies to lovers romance. The author brings strong characters with a fun banter and hot chemistry between Alex and Rome. It's well written, moves quickly and smoothly and had me hooked from start to finish reading.

ABOUT MAYUMI CRUZ

I’m a Filipina author. I write in a variety of genres, mixing and blending them in my plots. Twists and turns, mayhem and mystery, kisses and angst, laughter and tears make up most of my books.

At 50, I self-published my first book on Amazon. Four years, thirteen books and four anthologies later, I’m still at it.

So far, I must be doing something right because my psychological thriller, Chroma Hearts, was awarded 2019 Best Published Book, and I was recognised Third Best Published Author on the same year by Penmasters’ League Philippines. Chroma Hearts was also recently published worldwide on paperback and hardback by Ukiyoto Publishing, a traditional publisher.

I’m a true blue introvert; I write better than I talk. I’m a book and movie buff, and I have an extremely sweet tooth. I’m also a graphic design artist and I paint and draw whenever the mood strikes me.

I have degrees in Economics and Educational Management and I’m currently living in the Philippines with my husband, my three sons, and Sparky, our adorable puppy.
