"A series worthy of recognition."

"I can say without a shadow of a doubt that nothing truly compares to the BOYSTOWN series by Jake Biondi. Not Queer as Folk, not Eastsiders, not Dante's Cove or The Lair. None of them can equal the drama contained in each season of the BOYSTOWN novels."
Todd H. Latoski, Amazon.com
"Jake Biondi is one of the most masterful writers of fiction of our time.”
Roger Ward, Amazon.com
"Jake Biondi has a way of writing a story that sucks you in from the first word on the page to the last word on the last one. I would put his writing abilities against any screenwriter of any soap opera that’s on TV today and still call him the best. His characters are extremely engaging, his story lines are superb, and the cliffhangers will leave you breathless and waiting in eager anticipation to see what happens next. This series is not just a good read, it’s an amazing read and one that I would highly recommend."
