What is your literary wisdom IQ? Five stars!

The website Literary Wisdom recently posted a review of The Angel of Highgate and it was an absolute five star corker!

Now and then you run into a review who absolutely "gets" what the book is about and that is the case in this instance book reviewer Lauren (a Scots lassie) was sucked into the book from the very opening.

In fact, she was so taken with the novel we ended up doing an author interview together that you read directly after her review:

A "Fun and intense book": Web Site SF Reader Reviews The Angel of Highgate

SF Reader review Jack Primus gave The Angel of Highgate a solid 4 1/2 star review. His only reservations were the lack of solid supernatural underpinnings to the novel. It is an observation I soundly agree with, for I wrote the novel to be open-ended (especially the ending) so that a reader could decided for his or her self whether the supernatural elements were real or imagined by the protagonist, the louche Lord Geoffrey Thraxton.

Mister Primus' excellent review can be in full at:

Rising Shadows' Review of The Revenant of Thraxton Hall

Even though the Revenant of Thraxton Hall has been out for more than a year now, it is still managing to generate terrific reviews, including this one from the largest sic-fi and fantasy site, Rising Shadows. The reviewer, Sirgil of Rhiminee, had recently reviewed my latest now, The Angel of Highgate and pronounced it "one of the best Victorian novels of the year."

The reviewer expressed interest in seeing what else i had written, and then shortly after this killer review of the Revenant appeared on their site.  It's a long and well-thought out review, which makes it all the more sweet for me.

You can read their terrific review here:

Another fun review from the BFS's Phil Lunt. Phil reviewed the first book in the series, The Revenant of Thraxton Hall, and is a fan of the repartee between Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde:

Last year I received a stellar review of The Revenan of Thraxton Hall from the quicky and wonderful web site, Fiction Reboot.

So this year I was a little nervous as to how the second book in the Paranormal Casebooks would be received--especially as I knew that it was being reviewed by a different reviewer.

Luckly, I need not have worried, as it received an even better review than the first book, thanks to the perspicacious reviewer with a very cool name: Hanna Clutterbuck-Cook!  Thanks, Hanna!
