Praise for PROMISES TO KEEP:
"Shay does an admirable job with a difficult subject, writing about school violence with sensitivity and realism and without shying away from any of the hard issues, such as the balance between the students' protection and their civil liberties." Shelley Mosley Booklist
“Kathryn Shay’s storytelling grabbed me on page one and her characters held me until the very last word.” Barbara Bretton, USA TODAY bestselling author.
“Kathryn Shay is a master of her craft. PROMISES TO KEEP will hold you on the edge of your seat with an ending you’ll remember long after you turn the last page.” USA TODAY bestselling author Catherine Anderson.
"Kathryn Shay’s first mainstream romantic suspense is a gripping story that will haunt readers with its authenticity.

If ever the label of “sure thing” were deserved by a book, PROMISES TO KEEP is such a book.” The Romance Reader

5By mizvalorieLoved the characters. Kept my interest so it was hard to put down. Loved seeing teachers that cared so much for their students.Promises to Keep
5By sbsbrinsonI really enjoyed this story. It’s somewhat thriller and ultimately love stories that go through lots of ups and downs. It’s a tribute to school violence and the educators and others who try to stop it.Promises to keep
5By yellvilleVery timely book that has compelling romances. The focus is on trying to eliminate violence in the school. It is complex enough to stay interesting and carefully edited (what a pleasure).Promises To Keep
5By Sug36llMost of your story is eerily accurate! I was affected by Columbine & remember it constantly just as they & their parents. It was tragic. Also, please don't use my name for safety reasons that I can't reveal.Promises to Keep
5By PJSPhotogirlWow! Another great story by Ms. Shay. Her books always grab me from the beginning & keep me reading till I get to the end as soon as possible, but I never want the stories to end because she makes you believe in & fall in love with the characters. Ms. Shay's books never disappoint.
