What the Readers Are Saying
I didn’t expect to be more than adequately entertained for a bit given the description, the title, and the artwork. I was floored to find myself getting g into this story and enjoying it! This author has a real gift. She needs to lay off certain phrases such as “she/he smirked” and find more descriptors and facial expressions but I understand that. But this series has real, real potential and the author’s imagination is true. I hope she keeps on challenging herself and goes for the gold because this could become amazing!!” – Angela, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★

This book is a lot of fun, there is magic and artifacts, wizards and witches and more. It follows the adventures of Lilly and Sebastian, they are almost opposites in their personalities, but they are so fun together. Their personalities sometimes clash, but it also felt that due to their opposites they worked well together.” – Lola, Amazon reviewer ★★★★

I really enjoyed this book. It had complex characters that slowly revealed the nuances of their characters. It had touches of romance that hinted at more to come without everyone immediately stripping off their clothes (yay!) It had ghosts and bad guys getting taken care of and a plot that made me want to keep reading to find out what happened next, I also enjoyed that it was written for an adult to enjoy versus the teen/young/paranormal genre. Well done!” – Liz, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★
