Shadow Runners

'If you like Sophie McKenzie's thrills and Cliff McNish's chills, you'll love this fast-paced book for kids aged 9+. Shadow Runners reminded me of one of my favourite childhood classics, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.' Caroline Lawrence, author of The Roman Mysteries.

'Kept me entertained from the first page until the last. I think young readers will definitely enjoy this story, with its excitement, mystery and a hint of romance. I'm looking forward to see where the series will take me next.' Loving Books Blog

'...was full of mystery, suspense, and just oddities that made this book such a gem. A gem I say! This is one of those books that more people need to know about and read. This is a book that kids should be clamoring for. It was charming and had these amazingly likable characters. Characters that you can look up to and go on a real journey with. I know it's only going to get better. I seriously can't wait to see what happens next.' She's Got Books On Her Mind (blog)

'An original story but founded on some classic supernatural and gothic themes. Miranda May is a compelling and complex character though not all the facets of her personality or her family life are examined in depth. There are a few good twists and turns and a few questions left unanswered giving the book a mature feel. It is scary but not overly so and should appeal to fans of horror or ghost stories as well as adventure. The Shadow that Miranda must confront provides readers with a unique villain with the right balance of horror and thoughtful provocation.' Kidsreads.com

'A fresh and often funny paranormal mystery for the middle school set.' Kirkus Review

'Shadow Breakers by Daniel Blythe is a paranormal thriller perfect for tween & teen readers 12 and up. Blythe's writing has a descriptive, cinematic quality that will keep readers' rapt attention as well as send the occasional shiver down their spine! The story wraps up well by the end of the book but leaves readers wanting to know more about each of the characters as well as a few open story lines for a sequel. This is a great choice for fans who are ready to graduate from the Percy Jackson series or enjoy Mary Downing Hahn's ghost stories.' (Mis)Adventures of a Midwestern Librarian

'I enjoyed Shadow Breakers because it was mysterious enough to keep me reading and I kept wondering what would happen next. This book has a very surprising ending. If you enjoy mysterious, thrilling, and gripping novels, you will enjoy this book. I suggest it for ages 11-13.' Gripped

'An electrifying paranormal thriller that will have readers guessing till the end!' Books Beside My Bed

'Daniel Blythe has written a fast-paced paranormal read that will have you searching in the shadows for any danger lurking nearby. With a great cast of characters, and a fabulous storyline, this book will capture the imaginations of all who dare to flip through its pages. I totally enjoyed it. It had a very unique and fresh writing style. I loved Jade's mannerisms and speech, and the witty banter between Miranda and all her friends. Each one of the characters leapt out of the pages and became real in my mind. I just had to keep reading to find out what, or who, it was lurking in the Shadows.' The Read, bugreviews.wordpress.com
