This book touched on a sore subject for me and was worried reading it would cause me some distress but in the end I fell in love and felt a powerful kick of happiness even though the story is just that....a story. It was enough to let someone like me dream again with some hope for a possible future.

This is the first Christian Fiction book I've read and believe me this book has captivating story and facinating characters that you care about what happens to them.  You feel so many emotions reading this novel, compassion, conviction, sympathy, rage, sorrow...it was quite a ride!!  It doesn't have a sermony feel to it but being a Christian myself it makes you wonder if you would make the same decisions as Hadassah or the other characters for that matter. Captivating series that I am sure I will not be disappointed in An Echo in the Darkness! Highly recommend!!!

Discovering something as precious as a well written book is exactly like finding a precious jewel!!! Yes, indeed, such is this brilliantly created novel that held me spellbound from beginning to end!!! This is the second book I just finished reading from this absolutely phenomenal author... too bad I haven't discovered her when her books were published, but then, no more regrets, because Im so grateful for the precious hours experiencing with the drama, intrigue and suspense in this book!!!
Oh yes, full of intrigue and mysterious situations, heartwrenching moments that seemed endless, but still I kept on reading, breathlessly feeling myself behind everyones backs, listening with a mixture of hatred and doubts!!! Lies and deceit are evidently scary!!!
Aimee and James were childhood sweethearts and time has come for the union of two families ... but time stood still when a funeral took place instead of a wedding!!!
This is the beginning of Aimees personal ordeal - with an extremely incomparable magnitude beyond belief!!! I used up quite a handful of Kleenex - and much later, not only a handful but a box for James!!! Until now my heart is aching, bleeding for this two innocent victims of extreme betrayal and intrigue. Family values has always been misplaced in the Donato family! Their brutal dealings are comparable to an organized crime - well, after all they are Italians- with the exception of James whose personal values won him Aimees heart, loyalty and admiration!
Its quite difficult to imagine how their story unfolds, the discovery of betrayal from James family, finding him alive left Aimee in an indescribable and inconsolable situation... here my tears kept on falling... pausing to breathe for awhile... I felt like dying for Aimee as well as for James!!! My heart is full of hatred and extreme sadness!!!
Learning about dissociative fugue, and its painful effect upon James made me ache for his unexpected situation. I could not take it anymore, and I needed to stop reading, but then, my curious thought for redemption was uppermost in my mind.
A gripping drama beyond my expectations ... Aimee finally giving up that the new James would never be coming home with her, after all he has obligations in Mexico and more especially that he still could not remember his past!!! She felt sad and disappointed but acceptance was unavoidable. Her heart now belongs to Ian whose steadfast love and support kept their trip to Mexico a reality that needing one another was inevitable. For Aimee, James case appeared hopeless ... for the time being???!!!

I began this book and was immediately captured like no other book. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! Oh the twists and turns in this story will captivate you and you will want to complete it in one setting like I did. Not a real cliffhanger here, but there is a continuation on what will happen next and I CANNOT WAIT! This writing is seamless and simply AMAZING!!!

Picked up this book to read the intro late one night and then continue it on the weekend but got so caught up in it that the next time I looked at the clock it was 3am (4hours later)!!!  Needless to say I finished it the next day.  What a great story!!!  The characters were very familiar and intriguing.  The stories are so captivating it keeps you tuning the pages just to see what happens next.  As an avid book worm I must say it has been a while since a book has kept my attention the way this book has.  I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series!!!

I could NOT put this book down!  This is not a genre that I am naturally drawn to, but the story is so intriguing and the adventures so compelling that I could not stop reading once I started.  Angie uses words in such a way that you feel like you could be watching a movie instead of merely reading words on a page.

The integrity and simple, yet bold faith of her characters challenged me to consider the depth of my faith and my willingness to "fight the good fight".

I would highly recommend this book to young and old (I am 57).  You will not be disappointed.  I'M HUNGRY FOR BOOK 2!!!

I can't even form words right now.  Aleatha Romig is clearly in a class by herself. This conclusion, this duet, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and I was both apprehensive and curious as to what would happen next. Every single step of the way is filled with intrigue, trepidation, excitement and despair. And I wouldn't have missed it for the world!

Watching as Jacob and Sara find a way to save the followers of the Light all the while wondering if they could have a future together just about killed me. The way the author seamlessly weaves alternate POV's, together with such an intricate story-line is borderline genius. I was riveted and found it hard to look away.

I strongly encourage you to read both books and discover a journey like no other. You won't be able to put it down and you'll be thinking about it for days and months afterwards. To be able to blend a plot filled with mystery together with a burgeoning love story is nothing short of amazing. Certain to be in my top 10 of 2016.

5 huge stars!!

I have to tell ya straight up, I loved this story. I was captivated from the start and did not put it down until the very last word. Talk about a hop, skip and a jump. This one gets your blood pumping and your instincts turned to high. Lori really did a remarkable job showing how strong a community can be when everyone pulled together. Her characters were well developed and realistic. The scenes detailed descriptions were totally spot on engrossing and believable. It was fascinating watching the scenes unfold and the characters personalities transform. Not to mention the chemistry between the main two characters. WOW! If you want a great read that keeps your attention on the pages and frozen to your seat, you've found it. I highly recommend this read. Thanks Lori for sharing such a phenomenal read.

I received an ARC copy for this story.

From the beginning this book captivates your attention! The detail in which the story is told is so truly genuine and very relatable. I was not able to place the book down, I was intrigued with the story of Roberto. I would love to see this story come alive in the form of a movie. I hope there is a more to come from this author: fresh and innovative ... A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE !!!!

I can't remember the last book I read that kept me so riveted! This book reels you in from the very beginning and you won't want to put it down! I read it on a Kindle Paper White, which allowed me to grab it off my nightstand when I'd wake up in the middle of the night, and immerse myself in the story without needing artificial light which would wake my husband. When I finished Book One, at about 2:00 am, I was DESPERATE to be able to continue the story in Book Two. I immediately turned on the WiFi on my Kindle, went to the Amazon Kindle store, and got I Spy, I Saw Her Die Book Two. Not only is the story so compelling, but it's also very scary to read how the premise of the story, cyber spying, is very much a real threat in our society today. This is a MUST read! I will warn you, though, that your eyes will burn and you'll feel exhausted, because you will NOT want to put it down!!! Thank you so much Ian Irvine for such a great read!!!!

What an incredible reading experience!  For the past two days, I was in Dani's world, her life, her regrets, her fears.  She tries to fill in the blanks, to bring to memory the few hours of the night before - the night her husband vanished.  Her thoughts explore her soul, as she wants to know but, at the same time, dreads knowing.

The author has the tremendous ability to thoroughly engage the reader.  I cannot recall being so drawn into a book so deeply - that I actually experienced it so completely and totally.

Suspense darkened the pages and wouldn't let go.  This was a totally satisfying book, and in every way exceptional.  Once you start reading, you'll be captivated as I was - 5 stars worth.

The Last T'EN; as it is known and published as in Australia, is a spellbinding, exceptional read from an incredibly creative  author by the name of Cory Daniells. Her imagination and ability to exact such vivid likeness within the reader's own mind is astounding! I found myself drawn to her novel from the  visual aspect; by it's cover, without having ever seen before, nor heard of, and unbeknownst to me as to why; until I picked it up and began to read. From the first paragraph I was intrigued, inspired and easily draughted into the world of a creation so unexpectedly vivid in its' clarity, that I was free to read and be drawn in without having to forcibly try to envision the story and the surrounds contained within. It simply unfolded before my very eyes; and I enjoyed the first book of the T'EN Trilogy immensely! If truth be told, I have almost read the entire novel in record time and am slowly making my way through the last chapter, due to the fact that I am reluctant to reach the end; as I gain such great pleasure from your work and dread coming to the final close of this first work of the T'EN Trilogy; with the realisation that I have yet to find the continuation of your next two parts to this incandescent Trilogy. Well done, Cory! I look forward to the following two books to The Last T'EN; your wonderfully creative, phantasmic reading experience you have generously sought to share with your readers. Thank-you.

From start to finish, "The Elves of Cintra" will captivate you, take you on a whirlwind literary ride of immense proportions, and leave you hungry for the final instalment! I couldn't put this book down and had to restrain myself from devouring it in one sitting. I purposefully took my time to read it in order to extend the pleasure I was gaining from it. Mr. Terry Brooks is a true Master Storyteller!

Although Hawk features very little in the novel, as the last one will be focused mostly on him , the revelations regarding him are surprising, to say the least. In fact, they are downright stupendous!

The gripping storyline though is that of Angel's journey to and experience with the Elves. I like Logan Tom's storyline, too, but I couldn't wait to get back to what was happening with Angel, Kirisin, Eirisha and the Ellcrys. Be warned though: the surprises and unexpected twists, once they start coming, will pummel you with relentless force!

I suggest you buy "The Gypsy Morph" long before you come to the end of "The Elves of Cintra", for the minute you have finished the book, you will want to read the next one. Guaranteed!
