" The Sins of Mrs. Ema, by Mirela Kanini, is an introspective and dramatic romance story, but also a wide-ranging vibrant character study. "
"The Sins of Mrs. Ema was so interesting. I didn’t want to put it down. I needed to know what happens. It makes you think about love and what it really means. Is it stability and being taken care of or is it that raw emotion that you can’t control. And being with someone when you know it’s wrong. It’s a great book!"
"Gripping, vivid, suspenseful. I was hooked, it’s a page turner with its shocking end. It’s a story of survival and true love but on unusual dictated circumstances. The author did a great job making us fall in love with some of the characters. This book will stay in my mind for a long time…"
"This book was fantastic. A real page-turner. While it may not give explicit answers to the questions above, it certainly helps you get closer. Kanini does a great job capturing the emotions of the characters. The way they acted was so realistic that I think I learned a little bit more about what it means to be human. I usually stick to non-fiction, but this book has convinced me to add a more fiction to my stack of books to read. I will definitely be following this author and hope she has more books coming in the future."
"The Trafficker is an unforgettable novel that stays with the reader long after the last page. Mirela Kanini weaves suspense with raw emotional truth, crafting a story that reveals both the healing force of love and the heavy burden of secrets—on those who keep them and on those who live in their shadow. It is a moving exploration of vulnerability, moral dilemmas, and the human search for redemption. The Trafficker is a book not to be missed."
"I could feel the love, passion, and devotion throughout the book. Mirela Kanini did an excellent job providing the best imagery possible that you can easily paint the picture in your mind. There were many parts that brought tears to my eyes because this relationship is a clear reflection of true love and is ratification that anyone can find love and love should be with someone who will give you the world just for being you. The deception, drama, and conflict present in this book was majorly addicting and I could not stop reading."
