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.

From the Gator's Mouth

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.

Promise Kept
on June 30, 2011
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.

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.
