Not my first choice of reading as I usually don't read about angels and vampires, etc.. But, I realize that I should and am glad that I took the time to read this novella. A very good story, congratulations for your first venture as an author.

I have to agree with the other reviewer, it was a little hard to follow. Maybe more description of the characters would help readers get to know what is happening to them better. But overall it is a nice storyline.

Fantasy worlds are not really my thing to read, but I enjoyed reading this to see if in fact she would meet up with her destiny. I highly recommended this book for those of you that like fantasy.

Excellent use of short chapters to keep the readers wanting to turn that next page. Great story and easy to read. You won't want to stop until it finished.
- Promise Kept

I went into this book with my view that psychics are frauds, even though my wife believes in them. This book did keep me reading though and even though i may not have changed my mind on this topic, it did offer some thoughts to be entertained.

This was a quick, easy read that makes you stop and think, if I could only step off for a day, what would happen? You won't want to miss reading this story of Neville's. Great entertainment!

Not being my interest of reading, I will not tear it apart. I did think though that the sex came way to early in the story for what the characters were to represent to each other. Of course, maybe it was supposed to be more erotica than supernatural. For those that are into the dark magic it will be a good read.
- In Leah's Wake
on June 30, 2011
"In Leah's Wake" is a great depiction of what several teens are going through now-a-days. I see it happening all over the State I live in. Reading this would help a lot of them to understand they are not alone and that help is within reach. Great story, hope Terri can amaze us with her next selection.

Even though my age is advanced, I must say that I still enjoy cartoons and this was one that I could easily add to my viewing/reading enjoyment. Great job keeping us entertained.

Never being a fan of Harry Potter, didn't keep me from reading this book. I found it to be quite an easy read and you should enjoy it as well.
