Praise for Taylen Carver’s fantasy:
Plenty of exciting twists and turns.
Feel the tingling of danger, the aha's of escaping death, and the excitement of magic
I loved this and will continue on with the series.
A very satisfying first book for a new series
blends the paranormal and the thriller/suspense you expect in a who done it crime story
Love the heroine
The story is filled with many interesting characters, and I'm sure throughout the series we will learn more about them and their new Sheriff and I can't wait to read all about them.
The author packs this short story with plenty of action and suspense.
Do yourself a big favor and be sure to read the entire series.
The only drawback - I want to read more of this fantastical world-building, and I want to read it now.
Okay, the author really got me on this one… this one surprised the heck out of me
this world and the characters in it are fascinating and I want more, more, more.
I love all the surprises Falconer and it's residents give us, good or bad
this one was much longer, allowing me to sink deeper into the story and dream longer
I will eagerly buy anything that this author produces as I like his writing style
I absolutely love the world Taylen Carver created- so unique!
