Critic reviews

Winner of the 2021 Indies Today Best Horror Novel Award

All stars

This audiobook is a joy from start to finish. Whilst it has some parallels with Dracula tales, it is definitely more fantasy than horror. C.L. Holmes writes beautifully, with a descriptive elegance that creates clear pictures in the mind of the reader – or in this case, the listener. The characters are well-crafted and their interactions are entertaining and often humorous. The narrator, Andy Stevenson, has again shown how adept he is at fashioning each character’s voice to portray their unique personality and to maintain them with consistency throughout.

Those of you who love the Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings series are likely to enjoy this series too as it builds into epic proportions!

An epic in the making
