NOMINEE: 2013 RONE AWARDS - Best Paranormal indtale.com 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards Quarter Finalist Review: 'This is a wonderful excerpt and apart from a few very minor issues with POV shifts, the major problem I had wasn't with content but with wondering why this hasn't been picked up by a publisher yet. This seems to be gearing up for the type of read that PNR lovers will crave, so I'll be surprised if this doesn't go far in the competition. 5 Star Featured Review: ".a unique story that will make the reader angry, sad, happy, and tearful, all while anxiously turning the pages. It also teaches one to believe in the human spirit, and the power of redemption. Ms. Lucas has written a fun, witty, and yet emotionally rich and captivating story!"
