I absolutely loved the book. The idea that you wrote a fantasy book is mind blowing. The combination if native american folklore and urban fantasy is amazing. Keep up the great work!!

This book is a classic. Merging the present and past in one story is particularly difficult. But the author pulled this off well.

Very interesting review. An engrossing novel with a combination of Christianity, Celtic myth and African folklore. I'm looking forward to reading this

Generally I'm not keen on urban fantasy but the review highlights the other elements that make a strong novel, so now I'm really intrigued.
Ciao :)

I'm not a fan of fantasy, so I thought I wouldn't be interested in this book. But your review makes it sound interesting and enjoyable. "What is the ultimate Good, service or sacrifice? What is the ultimate Evil, the devil you see or the devil in your mind?" I love these lines, even though I'm not sure whether they are from the book or your mind. Thank you for such an amazing review!

It is a beautiful review. I enjoyed reading the review as much as the story. It was a gripping tale.

Urban fantasy! Wow, it sounds like I will really enjoy this genre. The book also sounds thrilling from your wonderful review!
But the path I’ve chosen has always been the right one, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. :)

Thanks for the review, I have never picked up a book in this genre but after reading your review this might be my first. The whole idea of merging the present with the past and learning more about one's heritage sounds fascinating. The mythological part makes it a great book to get lost in.

Based on the review, this seems like an excellently written urban fantasy. While I'm not into the genre, it would be an interesting read for those who actually enjoy tales with folklores and mystical elements. Other positive points to the book is the worldbuilding and great character development. Thank you for the review.
