“I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. I thought it was well paced, and interesting. The characters seemed real and believable and the plot kept me hanging on waiting for the climax, that you just knew was coming. A good read - I will look out for more from Mary-Anne Scott.”

“Readers will be impressed by the believable characters that carry out the story of Snakes and Ladders; they each seem so unique yet so easy to imagine. Finn, Mia, Eddie and all the others are the sort of characters that readers will root for, despise, pity and love. Snakes and Ladders is written with a subtle but clever sense of humourIf you want a read that you will enjoy reading over and over again, try Snakes and Ladders – you won’t be disappointed.”
