"A glaring truth woven into this fantastic novel"

– Award winning author, Sonja Grace

"What would you be willing to do to make it? How far would you be willing to do to climb to the top? Those are the questions 'Top 40 Honeypot' asks and answers. Set during the Golden Age of Top 40, the book looks at a time and place when radio was king, morals were loose and young women were often offered up as sacrificial lambs for ravenous wolves. The fast-paced page-turner takes a cold, hard and unstinting look at how ambition, greed, cowardice and lust made for a dark witches' brew that belied the sunny surface of the Seventies Hit Parade."

– Christopher Loring Knowles, author of "He Will Live Up in the Sky."

"With all that's going on in the Diddy trial, Ms. Merran's fast-past thriller TOP 40 HONEYPOT is a relevant, timely & insightful read. I don't finish many novels, bet hers held my interest to the end. The 1970's, it would've been this summer's beach read bestseller."

– Tom Siebert, former Madison Avenue executive and award winning journalist and film critic

"The story is told so well I felt I was back in time, living the protagonist's life along with him. It was a time of excitement, parties, a great job, great friends, great sex and love. But then the question, "How much betrayal and exploitation can you endure before success is replaced with emptiness?"

– William R. Mistele, author of "The Hermetic Tree of Life: A Guide to the Inner and Outer Worlds," and "Stories of Magic and Enchantment."

"Entertainment horror reaches its pinnacle in Merran's decadent narrative! The rabbit hole runs deep int he glamorous sphere of 1970s radio programming Merran skillfully blends the macabre minds of music industry elites with the normalcy of the everyday in an immersive and insightful commentary on the duplicity of human consciousness. I couldn't look away!"

– Elyria Swann, award-winner author of "How to Become a Mermaid: Embodying the elemental Energy of Water."

"Merran's debut novel is a riveting thriller exploring the depths and depravity of the 1970's radio industry. The aftermath of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll has left two classes in the industry: predators and prey. 'Top 40 Honeypot' follows one man's struggle to find which camp he fits into. Merran's crisp prose casually recounts the horrors to which he is exposed to maximum effect. The occult underbelly at the black heart of "Honeypot" is something to behold. Speaking as a parapolitical researcher with decades of experience in the field, Merran's description of elite black magic is as plausible as any I've encountered."

– S. William Snider, author of "The Secret History of Psywar, Conspiritainment and the Shattering of Reality."

"That was creepy. Made me think of what a truckstop softporn paperback would be like."

– Randy, a reviewer on GoodReads.
