You can check out her full review on www.authorsbyauthors.blogspot.ca (28 May 2012) but she highlighted that, "The mythology went deeper than I had expected from reading the blurb. the Otherland, Lost Guardians, keys, familiars, secrets, etc. were so creative and so well-devised. With twists and turns to the plot, and thus having more mythology revealed, the author did a wonderful job of explaining and describing, making the complicated and new easily understandable.The surprises continued throughout, creating quite a suspenseful plot. I found myself reading faster and faster to find out what happened, all while forcing myself to hold back and take in all of the town and magical depictions."Marcus debated if he should fade into the background. In his line of work, his talent for making even another witch’s eye look past him without registering his presence was useful. He felt another power surge.“What the—The woman wasn't the magic source. Fierce, dark eyes locked on him, not in a friendly, or mortal, way. And the beast already knew Marcus was there. What the hell is a familiar doing here? Familiars couldn’t be summoned. They appeared only when gifted by a more powerful spirit in times of great danger. There hadn’t been such a creature around The Otherland for centuries. So who sent this one to the mortal world, he wondered. And why?Pushing away from the wall, Marcus wandered over to the reception desk. By habit, he moved with quiet steps, yet the young woman seemed to sense his approach and turned in his direction. She pulled the cap from her head, pushed loose wisps of hair from her forehead, and looked up at him.His breath stopped in his throat and his mouth watered. The little nymph was more than the usual pretty combination of golden blond hair and flawless fair skin. Her electric blue eyes, even smudged with fatigue, jolted his gut in a way he hadn’t felt since his teens, when his magical energy was working overtime along with his hormones.He smiled and managed to keep his stance casual as he kept one eye on the familiar and one on the woman.
