âFast-paced, keeps the attention... great, suspenseful plot that ties in well with the first book but spins everything off in a different direction, and pulls in a lot of cool mythology while at the same time getting a great "alien" vibe in.âNikki Bennett, author of Under the SkinâImaginative concepts, and well-written ⌠this trilogy should appeal to readers looking for an unusual thriller. Four stars out of four.âCM MagazineâDutton is in his element crafting together a sci-fi adventure with a good blend of sincerity and humour that, without such a fine balance, can be the downfall of any YA fiction.âBroken Pencil MagazineStorylineSix months ago, Kari Marrinerâs life was torn apart.
