Isle of Stars

"This story will blow you away. Jess Porto spent the entire first book, Moon Mountain, preparing for this epic sequel. The first story builds up the thrill and mystery, while the second uncloaks everything; all of the truth comes out, and it's altogether wild, scary, and exhilarating. There is intense longing built up within Morgan to find Grayson again, and that longing, combined with her own willpower, drives her forward. The complete story is incredible-it's truly hard to believe that Porto is a new author because the skill displayed here is truly outstanding. "Exceptional," "thrilling," "adrenaline-charged," and "absorbing" would all be excellent words to describe Isle of Stars. It ends on a temptingly strong cliff-hanger, and we can't wait to read the third masterpiece in this trilogy!" - Chick Lit Book Caf©

ï»"Porto skillfully defies conventional good vs. evil tropes by imbuing the invaders with shades of gray, and the subconscious realm and surrealist liminal spaces through which Morgan journeys are, as the title suggests, inventive and evocative. At its core, this inward-looking thriller is a journey of hope and self-discovery, psyche and sacrifice, a story concerned with what it's worth risking everything to save. (A character declares, "One word: humanity.") The characters make clever use of Porto's worldbuilding, and the ending satisfies, while pointing to revelations to come." - BookLife Reviews
