| Loved this! A bit of Jasper Fforde, a bit of X-Files, and a lot of droll action and tongue-in-cheek dialogue as we follow the heroine, Myfanwy Thomas, through her adventures. Thoroughly enjoyable, and highly recommended. | |

Thank you for accepting my friend request! I am so excited for your next book!! It feels like I have been waiting forever!! Down to the home stretch!! :)Have a great weekend!
Thanks for accepting my friend request Deb. I'll probably be one of your scarcer friends here ^.^ Hardly any time for reading these days, but I do try. I have a few books marked on here already, however. lol. The ever growing list. x
Thanks for accepting my friendship! I'm reading A Discovery of Witches and I'm enchanted! It's so beautifully written and Diana is smart and strong and sassy and doesn't play damsel in distress which I love and Matthew is dreamy, intelligent and downright delicious! I love all the history and science mixed with the supernatural elements, it's all of my favorite things together, real accurate history and the paranormal! Thank you for writing such a beautiful story, I'm devouring it like Diana devours her books and Matthew devours Diana... I mean science... ;)
Thanks for accepting the friend request. I love A Discovery of Witches - its one of my favourite books! Sooooo excited about Shadow of Night!!!

Thank you for the add!A friend recommended Discovery of Witches to me, and I love your writing. I just received a M.A. in History, and have also been interested in fiction writing, so I really look up to you as a writer.
I can't wait for Shadow of Night!
Thank you for such a wonderful book! It had been collecting dust on my shelf for months since I'd purchased it. Then suddenly it seemed to call me on the eve of Halloween. I sat down after work and thought well maybe just a few chapters. As it happened I closed it, completed, the next afternoon without having slept.
It was refreshing and a nice change to read about vampires and witches that had substance beyond their supernatural abilities. I can't wait for the follow up books.
Pamela wrote: "Thank You for add :) I simply love your book (have read it three times already) and all the Friday treats you give us. Can't wait for next year!"
Hopefully those Friday treats will keep us all going until SHADOW comes out! :)
