Shrouded in mystery and magic, The Promise of Deception is set in fog-shrouded London at the turn of the 20th Century. Tensions between the Irish and English are at a peak. Just 30 years have passed since Jack the Ripper’s unsolved crimes puzzled Scotland Yard. Jessica Sly’s debut novel was […]
Looking back, I was amazed when I realized Deborah Grace White only published her first book last year! The quality of her writing far surpasses that of many authors who have been writing much longer. Wren and Basil’s story captivated me from the very beginning. I vividly pictured the moment […]

Dragons. Mages. Unseen enemies. Powers that have been heretofore unexplored. This entire series abounds with mystery and surprises. This was my favorite book of the trilogy and had my favorite characters, Dally and Connell. Dally has a way of communicating with the wolfhounds that her master, the Mayor raises. She […]
