REVIEW 5.0 out of 5.0 Stars: In a world gone nuts for YA books and movies, it's refreshing to find a book written for adults. Pantanella manages to have characters with mature motivations and adult content, without falling into the trap of writing soft porn. What's more, he presents characters with a wide array of perspectives; the youth and niavete of the hero makes the sadistic joy of the villains all the more real. This is a classic story of good versus evil where the sides are far more similar than they are different. And the storyline keeps you turning the pages with its fast pace. The author occasionally gets a bit wordy in his descriptions, but builds a deeply engrossing world. And at the end of each book, you are left hungry for the next. ~ Cross R.
