I stayed up until 2 AM last night/this morning finishing this book. It ended far too soon!

Chills and Thrills Aplenty! Great Read.
Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal Adventure
The prologue definitely had me hooked. Who can resist the lure of Sir Lancelot? Not I.

I've not read anything by CK Dawn before, but this was brilliant! I loved the entire premise, the "what-if" from days gone by of King Arthur's court and knights in shining armor! This mirrors some of the "conspiracy theories" about secret societies such as the Illuminate and the Free Masons, and I love how the characters seem so down-to-earth, not at all fanciful but regular people (who, for example like coffee) doing a job that, to them, is their "regular" job.
