5 Stars: I adored reading this book. The characters aren't wafer thin, they have depth and history. The Darkling Wind was a wonderful read, with wonderfully written scenes which pulled you in and made you believe it was truly happening... A great love vs evil story... I'd recommend this book to anyone, young or old. It's a feel good story you won't be able to put down. -Smashwords Review
4 Stars: This is a very well-written, good-versus-evil story that will capture a young reader's imagination. The main character has to deal with both emotional and physical challenges that I expect will make the reader pause and wonder how they would react in those circumstances. I look forward to hearing my daughter's comments after she's finished the story. -Smashwords Review
5 Stars: Highly Enjoyable Read!I HIGHLY recommend this read! I very rarely go online to write reviews... It's certainly a very different story type, nothing typical... much more interesting than the Synopsis makes it sound. Please do give it a chance. -Nook Review
5 Stars: ...A first rate writer... that rare ability to combine original and intriguing characters, locations and plot into a work of pure perfection.- Goodreads Review
Ben always thought his grandfather's bedtime stories about darklings were fairytales. The sinister creatures were supposed to be make-believe. That was before they invaded his town. Now, half the people in town have gone missing and the rest are trying to kill him. The only person who knew the truth about the darklings was his grandfather, but he seems to have vanished.
With the help of his best friend Sara, Ben must unlock the secrets to this mysterious invasion and find a way to banish the darklings before they destroy the entire town and kill everyone he loves. What Ben doesn't realize is that he's the last in a long line of magical warriors known as Lightbringers, and it's his destiny to stop the darklings... or die trying.
