Industry Reviews

"...brilliant mashup of modern magic set in a speculative world..." --Linda Rappaport, author, Blessica's Dream
"...taut and descriptive...the images poetic and mystical as Colacchio shows us rituals, twists and turns, betrayal and danger..." --John Kelly, author The Rose of Jericho
"...this thrilling and original fantasy crackles with magic, adventure, and 80's nostalgia..." --Lenore Borja, author of The Last Huntress (Mirror Realm Series Book I)
