Deranged: Maddy Reynold's Baptism by Fire (Maddy's Pledge Book 1) Kindle Edition

by John Netti (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars (22)

“A complex web of interconnected events, similar to Gone Girl or A Time to Kill keeps readers engaged. Deranged may be Netti's eeriest thriller yet.” –Timothy Gene Sojka, the author of #1 Thrillers Payback Jack and Politikill

Maddy Reynolds fulfills a commitment she made to her father at his graveside when she was twelve. “I’ll become a detective just like you, Dad. I promise.” She doesn’t realize her father’s murderer will one day return for her. When she finally lands a detective job in an Upstate New York town, young girls show up dead. The kids are just an appetizer for the serial killer, Cupid. Maddy is the main course.

As she struggles to unravel the mystery of the latest missing child, she discovers Cupid’s identity and starts on a collision course with the maniac. The clock ticks away precious time as she tries to save the girl’s life.

DERANGED is the prequel in the Maddy Reynold’s series. The title of the series is MADDY’S PLEDGE. Books two through four are THE GLADES, THE LEDGER, and PIECES.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reader review of Deranged by John Netti
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2025
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    After reading Deranged I can’t wait to continue the Maddy’s Pledge series.
    The story introduces a compelling heroine in Maddy, who faces a duel challenge of raising her daughter while holding down an extremely dangerous job as a criminal investigator .
    Balancing motherhood with a career steeped in risk gives the novel an emotional depth that elevates it beyond a standard thriller .
    Maddy is tough ,smart and relentlessly focused, qualities that carry her through a series of harrowing experiences that keep the tension high and the pages turning.
    The author has a gift for making the reader feel connected to her— Maddy comes across not just as a character but as someone familiar,like a sister,a daughter or a close friend.
    This is a fast-paced cinematic thriller that feels tailor-made for television and leaves you eager to follow Maddy on the rest of her journey.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the weak.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    Detective Maddy Reynolds is hunting down a serial killer targeting young girls. The main storyline is really interesting and kept me hooked, especially as a mom of twin 10-year-olds. Anything involving kids just hits differently and makes the stakes feel very real. Maddy’s drive to protect the innocent really stood out to me even at the expense of her daughter Amber. That said, some of the side storylines felt confusing and kind of poorly timed (the relationship between her and her ex, her relationship with Allison and the out of the box way the story came together.). These side storylines pulled me out of the momentum instead of adding to it. Even with that, it’s well written, heavy, and definitely hard to put down.

    I received an ARC for free and I am leaving this review willingly.

    John Netti gives us a great character in Maddy Reynolds. We go with Maddy on her journey to find evil and we find it. Masterful storytelling by Netti who weaves a yarn that takes us through many twists and turns and makes us believe that we’re right there as it happens and just when we think we know everything that we need to know we find out that we don’t. Wonderful, scary, and provocative fiction. Did I say SCARY? … First rate!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced, intense, and disturbing
    Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    Fast-paced, intense, disturbing on so many levels, but impossible to put down until the end. There are so many threads in this story that Mr. Netti has expertly woven together. Don't even try to figure out what's going on; you'll only make your brain hurt. Just sit back, take in the information Mr. Netti provides, and enjoy this deeply disturbing look into the darkest corners of the human psyche. I highly recommend it for fans of psychological thrillers. I received a review copy from the author via BookSirens, and this review reflects my honest and voluntary opinion.

    Really good book! It has a lots of twists and turns. It is definitely a page turner and moves at a fast pace. It's unimagineable what a serial killer will do to such young innocent kids. I just couldnt' wait to finish the book. There was a surprise at the end that you don't see coming. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    An excellent book that I hope turns into a series. Following on a promise to her dad, Maddie becomes a detective. Her first case - a missing child- starts as a light case, but things turn bad quickly. She was found a few days later at a construction site. With little to go on, the department focuses on the one person who might be a suspect. Lots of twists, turns, and unexpected revelations. A great mystery. I couldn't put it down. Thanks to BookSirens for the ARC of this book.
