"From the ordinary comes the extraordinary... an emotional, tender love story about possibilities." - HEA Special for USA TODAY
"The sign of a good YA/NA novel is when those of us who are somewhat more than YA/NA can also appreciate the story.... At times funny, dark, terrifying... we are taken on a startling and romantic romp with heroine Declan...and hero Alexander, to discover a world she could never have imagined, and a love he could never have envisioned. Very well done." - Paranormal Romance Fans for Life ★★★★★Â
