The whole thing was like an Edgar Allen Poe poem. Lovely and creepy." -Reading Teen, Blogger "It has been interesting watching this series morph from what I though was a Paranormal Romance to more of a Psychological Thriller. It is in a genre all its own. Estevan Vega is truly a gifted writer." -What's Beyond Forks, Blogger
