Magical 5 Star Reviews for The Morrow Secrets on Amazon and Goodreads!
Here are some excerpts:
Can’t Wait For The Next Sequel!!!!!!!!!! … I could not stop reading it when I started, it should be made into a film, it would be great!
Thoroughly enjoyable, Drew me in from the beginning. Was unable to put it down as I wanted to see what was going to happen next.
A wonderful Gothic delight for all readers!
Book of the Year!!
Gothic Fun …I could not put the book down, I highly recommend people reading this!!!!…
Spectacular Fantasy - I could not put this book down, it was very consumable. It is Gorgmenghast meets Harry Potter, with a female heroine! McNally conjurs a beguiling world of marvellous characters and interesting lands. I recommend this book to any parents of preteens or young teens as a great addition to a christmas stocking. I bought the Kindle version and read it on my morning train ride, then walking down the street and I would find excuses to leave my desk to keep reading. I am excited to read what happens to Talitha next.
…A rip-roaring page-turner. Destined to be a modern classic from a brilliant new author. Can’t wait for the next instalment!…
…Susan McNally led me into a world of mystery and intrigue . The Characters came to life both in Susan’s description and the wonderful illustration’s. I couldn’t put the book down . Each Chapter led me into a unique adventure , and my only complaint was that it finished ! hurry up with the next book , I feel like someone has pressed the paused button on this adventure, which I want to fast forward at double speed !!..
Delightful Epic Fantasy/Alternate World for YA and Older - Author Susan McNally has an incredible imagination and has populated this alternate world with wonderful characters, not just the human ones, but all of the other species and creatures involved. Aimed at YA readers, older adult readers will enjoy it just as much, and I predict and recommend a wide audience…
…What a great story! The plot leading you on a dark and dangerous adventure full of intrigue, betrayal and magic…
A ROLLICKING READ FULL OF WIT AND WONDER!!!, A most magical and wonderful fantasy- while geared towards the YA crowd-The Morrow Secrets makes for a splendid read for all ages! I was entranced from the very first page- the imaginary prowess of Susan McNally is to be greatly admired!
…The attention to detail is amazing, as well-imagined and developed as anything in the Harry Potter series…
…Highly recommended for many reasons- wonderful writings style, unique characters and most certainly the first in what promises to be a most remarkable new Fantasy series!! Bravo Susan McNally!!…
Gripping Adventure Story! ….I loved this story from beginning to end! …Can’t wait for the second book!

A Dark Treat! - You know you’re onto a good book when you start reading …and find it’s been 4 hours since you did anything except read and you have work in the morning. This book is a hugely important addition to that genre and I honestly can’t wait to see what comes next in what looks set to be an epic series.

A Thrilling & Gripping Read!
Brilliant - I liked this a lot! It’s set in a strange land – a bit gothic – with lots of weird creatures for the main characters to meet and overcome. Susan McNally’s a really good writer and the story’s full of fantasy, including a twist at the end which I did not see coming. The pictures are good too – they matched up with how I was imagining the characters. A really exciting read!
A Fantastic Gothic Story! 21 July 2012
I loved this story from the very beginning to the cliff hanging end. Great characters, a rambling spooky house and a plot with many twists and turns in a make believe world. Wonderful to have a strong heroine who fearlessly embarks on a gripping adventure, braving the unknown lands of Breedoor to unearth the dark family secrets. On the way she encounters many terrifying challenges and strange creatures. A great gothic tale that will appeal to older children and adults who enjoy fantasy and make believe.
Officially stolen from my brother! A cracking read. When I found my little brother reading this and had a look I had to get my own copy. Really well written and readable for the kids whilst still keeping me hanging on every word. Highly recommended!
A fantastic fable ...The novel scares, excites and challenges the reader and there are as many twists and turns in the novel as there are in the dark house, Winderling Spires. I can’t wait for the next episode.
compelling and gripping Beautifully written with great attention to all the details which enable the reader to easily and completely imagine the house, its inhabitants and the world of the adventure that ensues. I found it compelling and gripping – and I’m an adult. Great fantasy adventure, wonderfully imaginative and a great plot. Like the Potter books this is an excellent read for children but also for adults. I can’t wait for the next one in the trilogy.
A thrilling read - A thrilling and original read, easily as good or better than other children’s novels of its genre. Would highly recommend for children (particularly girls) aged 9 to 13. Perfect those craving a magical read in place of Harry Potter. Can’t wait for the next read.

Halloween Delight! The Morrow Secrets – 13 5* Reviews
New 5* Review on Amazon
I read The Morrow Secrets for the first time last month, thinking that it would be a little time pass read on my daily commute to work. I couldn’t have been more mistaken. I spent hours reading this at every possible opportunity I could find until I finished. It really needed to be several chapters longer; it was entertaining to no end.
It was extremely refreshing to read about the trials and challenges a young girl, like Tallitha, faces throughout the story, and how she stands up to them and overcomes these anomalies – finding the answers to her questions with wit and clever perception.
The story is overflowing with such imaginative description that you almost feel like you are physically inside of Winderling Spires, watching secret after secret unravel in front of you – it’s just that gripping!
Susan McNally has a terrific sense of timing, which she perfectly utilises to enhance the twist and turns of this remarkable, thrilling mystery – it’s hard to believe she’s a new author! I advise everyone, adults included, to take a chance on this book because I can guarantee that it will not disappoint. I failed to put this book down, even at work – I was cheekily trying to read it under my desk at one point! It will no doubt leave you in a similar state of suspense.
Though a story for teenagers, The Morrow Secrets is nothing short of a mystery marvel! The second book, The Shadow of the Swarm is soon to be released and I, for one, cannot wait and have already pre-ordered it!
