REVIEWS
Of Blood and Shadows introduces us to the world of the Donati, a group of people with individual and exceptional powers, and their enemy the Striga in a conflict which spans the world. Whilst the story is not short of adventure and jeopardy at its heart it is a tale of a multi-generational family that faces an exceptional set of circumstances and stays together.
Whilst a fantasy novel, the story setting stays very clearly in the present day exploring the possibilities of current and future technologies. The style reminded me of Deborah Harkness and Diana Gabaldon while this is an author who is definitely ploughing her own field. I look forward to the sequel. – Mary CyranFor the first novel this is amazing! The story of the various groups of normal and paranormals is integrate and compelling. Action, love, danger and family are all entwinned. Looking forward to the sequel. – Sue
