“My first encounter with this author, and it certainly won’t be my last! The writing style is absolutely magnificent. Blending gothic elements, time travel, mystery, mayhem, and romance, the story kept me captivated from start to finish. I found myself completely engrossed and unable to put it down.”

“I really love the way Marcia Armandi writes, she pulls you into the story and you’re reading through the pages, before you know it the story is over and you’re sat there mouth agape, a little shook at how the story all unravelled. It’s pure brilliance.”
