Critic Reviews:

“The fast pace of the plot and the mysterious atmosphere the author layers throughout the story help create the necessary tension and action that drives both Surina and Hannah forward in their journey. What stood out, though, was the character development that this narrative took forward . . . the story ends on another big cliffhanger that will drive readers to read book three easily.”
