Lori R. Lopez (Goodreads Author)

This novel was a difficult one for me to review. I had a hard time getting into it (I would have cut the prologue) but once I actually got into the story, it had me intrigued. I must also admit that I am not well acquainted with YA-geared horror and it took me some time to get accustomed to the colloquial prose. With that said, this novel is a bold, highly creative, and ambitious endeavor that comes together quite nicely. Ms. Lopez has a unique style well worth checking out, with a wonderful sen...more

I've already reviewed something by horror writer Lori R. Lopez before, the wispy story collection Chocolate-Covered Eyes, and mentioned at that point that I was looking forward to seeing something a little longer and heftier from her; and now here it is, an "Author's Draft" version (think "Director's Cut"...more

Lori R. Lopez is a most unequivocally peculiar author, quite unlike any you are apt to encounter — and if you do, it is bound to be an imposter — because her heart beats to its own irregular rhythm. The “pulse of Originality” flows through her veins, whether writing Fiction or Nonfiction, Verse or Prose. She is never dull. She’s just a little unsane.

“One’s options in this world are as vast as the horizon, which is technically a circle and thus infinitely broad. Yet we must choose each step we take with utmost caution, for the footprints we leave behind are as important as the path we will follow. They’re part of the same journey — our story.”
