when you read a book you get to the end and read it all over again because its great. This is not one of those books. I read it again because I hadn’t a clue what happened in its short span.

This is a reasonably good YA fantasy and with other books in the series following this one, it is worth checking them out.

a very enjoyable book with some excellent characters.

I’m not its target audience and it might appeal more to young readers than me.

...the writing crackles and the story is gripping...

The stories themselves are well-written with some interesting ideas, and range from the funny to the poignant.

The story itself is wonderfully creepy, and I was hooked from the first moment.

This could be a great book for the right reader, but unfortunately that reader is not me.

Would I have spent money on it if it wasn’t free on Amazon? Probably not, and for a fiction author I think it would be wasted.

I wish there were more stories like this, a sci-fi story with real emphasis on the science.

It gets a 4 – and I am actually looking up Book Two despite not being the target audience…

I simply did not fall in love with the story.

if you are into the horror of Stephen King and Shaun Hutson rather than Poe and Lovecraft give this a look, you’ll love it.

When I have to fight the formatting to actually follow the text, quality of writing and target audience become secondary concerns.

It’s clearly written, easy to follow and above all understandable.

Formatting? I didn’t notice. I was too busy reading the story.
