This book has me feeling everything; the tension, the fear, the betrayal, the grief, the loss. Everything that the characters felt was only heightened by the imagery. It’s a perfect read for those wanting a NA fantasy with minimal romance, but all of the tension and emotion of a full-blown romance.

DELIGHTFUL. Norcliff had absolutely everything I was looking for - a strong emotional center, romance that sweeps me off of my feet, action and adventure, and fantasy elements that swept me away. It scratched a Princess Bride itch that I've had for quite awhile, and I'm so glad I found it!

Oh, I loved this! A thrilling and captivating story with several twists I didn't see coming. I loved the strong female lead, Erin is a true badass and she is not to be meddled with.

I could hardly put this book down, and I would LOVE a physical copy.

My compliments to the writer. You're going places!

I was enamored from the beginning. The characters were all done so well and the twists were unexpected and had me shocked. 10/10 recommend.
