I found the story world to be very believable and the characters well developed - two criteria that are absolutely essential for me in any book. If you like sci fi and want something a little different, I highly recommend this story!" CarlynneT, Barnes and Noble Reviewer ★★★★★"Wow, what a complete surprise this book is! I thought it was going to be the same old, same old sci-fi book that everyone writes. NOT SO!! This will take you places you never expected and then some!" Holly, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★"Holy Hangover!!! I CANNOT wait for the next book in the series. Wow! This book had me riveted to the pages so much I couldn't even set it down at work (don't tell the boss lol). I loved this book and will read it again just to make sure I didn't miss anything. There were hints along the way for some of the twists and turns but not all of them. Dani has to have a lot of talent to go into this much detail and keep the story flowing along with all the unexpected happenings. I would definitely give this book at least 6 stars if I could." Swtmamarains, Amazon Reviewer"I've always been fond of the "syfy family drama" genre. But this one went beyond that. Does that sound gushy? Well, it's true!! 'The Quest' by Dani Hoots is the story of a girl named Arcadia, who is torn between family and loyalty to the Emperor. It was interesting to see how a innocent but brave girl came to be in a strong position. I was rooting for her from the beginning, especially since everyone wanted rid of her. When her brother shows up they both go in search of a lost planet named "Sanshli". There he hopes to destroy the Pandronan Empire and usher in a new age, but will Arcadia help! This book I'd recommend to readers who enjoy female lead characters as well as YA science fiction" Keith, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

A human, elf and Dwarf set out on a quest.This is a previously unpublished “High Low” fantasy trilogy. Fantasy stories are very popular for all ages, often in the best seller lists. For some readers this rich source of adventure is closed. This trilogy proposal is based on characters living in ‘Darkling Lands’ (map supplied!). It has the usual fantasy theme of Warriors, Magic, Elves, Dwarves and Dragons and these with characters types, readily identifiable in the fantasy context by readers, appeal to a very wide age range in this key area of fictional interest. However the content is mainly aimed at the 11 to late teen market, with reading levels at around the 8/9 year level.

It’s Delta’s sixteenth birthday. She gets a coming-of-age present, but it comes with a condition- she has to find her soul mate and prove she’s worthy of him in a week, or she will lose her adult tail and it will stay pale. Delta meets various mermen from Mr Slob to Mr Useless, and sees their faults are hers. Then she meets Jonty, and realises she wants to be a better mermaid.

With Jill Horner's significant help, Tyler finally has his base of operations set up, on her rooftop, to catch video evidence of that dastardly duo, Mr and Mrs Lien. And things even seem to be hitting off with Jill. Everything is finally working out as it should for a hero. Until, of course, Jill turns him down. What was with that? And now his childhood nemesis appears to be the next victim, and an old friend appears to be in on it, both somehow wrapped up in all of this too. Are the Liens even involved at all, or has he been barking up the wrong tree this whole time? Maybe he's the one who's been played all along, like Ender Wiggin was in Ender's Game. Or those two magicians in The Prestige did to each other. Can he even trust anyone anymore? Find out in this next exciting instalment of The Arthur Lien Abductions. Of course, if you haven't yet read Part One: The Secret or Part Two: The Mystery, you may want to do that first.
