".
. . excellent fantasy . . . There is plenty of action, irony,
and emotion in this tale of two kinds of people: religious zealots
and paranormals. This is a richly crafted book. We look forward
to reviewing the rest of the series and rated this book a score
of five hearts."
~ Bob Spear, Heartland Reviews
"This
is a terrific epic fantasy with an enjoyable final twist that
readers will sort of see coming, but will be surprised anyway. The
story line is fast-paced and filled with action as the ethnic
cleansing seems heading into Armageddon unless Rhiannon and
Gwydion can stop the obsessed Warleader from his final solution. Sub-genre
fans will enjoy Holly Taylor’s fine tale once the genocidal
countdown to a country-wide High Noon begins."
