Reseñas de la Crítica

"[The] best horror novel of the year." (Booklist)

Think Oliver Twist with Monsters

This vividly dark tale is filled with enough gore to make your stomach turn. Brimming with excitement and action, it is a narrative worthy of any Indiana Jones film. Gruesome and fraught with mental illness, this story is not for the weak at heart (or stomach for that matter). Ordinarily I would have thought this kind of story not one I would want to read, however, I found myself riveted to the very end. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this very entertaining series.

why so little reviews?

I have listened to this series more times than I can count. The storyline, the writing, the PERFORMANCE!?! It's so good. I love all the characters like family. They have a piece of my heart.

Awkward Advice for an Auspicious Author

Oh...my...God. So much alliteration. We get it. You like it, but c'mon. And the verbose viscous vocabulary. Hey, here's a wetnap. I think your thesaurus threw up a little.

Great Story!

The writing style drew me in immediately. The monsters are the stuff of night mares!
