“A woman fighting her traumatic past… a fast‑paced page‑turner.” —4‑star NetGalley review

First Edition Praise:

“Skinless is an eloquent crime novel… sentences vacillate between beauty and despair… Charmay’s street poetry highlights the city’s colors and sensations in lush, sensual language… and her raw will to live.” — Foreword Reviews (Benjamin Welton)

“It is possible that the only consistent feature across humanity is that we are all, every one of us, a bundle of inconsistencies… Charmay is willing to be whatever she has to be to survive… as she works to overcome her past and wring hope from the drug‑drenched, sex‑soaked streets of 1990s New York City.” — Clarion Reviews (D. Ballantyne)

“A sharp deviation from what you would expect in a typical crime novel.” — Goodreads (Advance Reader)

“A unique writing style takes you directly inside the narrator’s mind and heart… twisting and turning right up to the final, suspenseful ending… images and life lessons stay with you long after.” — Barbara Hodge, Foreword

“Noir‑ish feel… had me hooked right away.” — Antwon Floyd Sr., Author

“Raw, real, and relentlessly compelling.” — Goodreads

“Lyrical, gritty, unforgettable.” — Goodreads (Advance Reader)

“A thrilling and realistic story about living on the edge in New York City in the 1990s.” — McLoughlin PR Indie Books

“Maggie Moor’s style of prose has a lyrical and poetic flow… a stream of consciousness… with the New York City grit of Jim Carroll.” — Goodreads

“Written in the first person… grabs you inside the protagonist’s mind… different and original… a story of survival.” — Vincent Wallis, Author

“These are real words, real scenes… sometimes in staccato… other times in the fluid fidelity of a slow rock opera.” — Goodreads
