From a sampling, this was an interesting story that combines both great character development with just the correct amount of mythological theme elements to make the story worth a second look. Well Done.

A narrative that's engaging and richly complex but easy to follow is worth reading. And, I like that the author did put into consideration world-building. Though am a fanatic of Science Fiction and Fantasy books, am afraid I'll pass this one. Why? Because i don't agree with some themes that are featured in the story. Great Job in your review.

The details make this sound like it has the potential to be an alright read. But I have just not come across that thing that has really piqued my interest when it comes to wanting to read this story. I am though going to add it to my want to read list and hopefully, it will not disappoint.

It's hard to decide on a book when you are reading the sample of it half asleep. I had to reread to recall what was in front of me. After reading the review, I was intrigued enough to put it on my reading list. Thank you for the wonderful review. :tiphat:

I almost didn't read past the first page as once again a book talked of bars, etc. and I was worried that this would be like yesterday's book. However, I was very wrong and an glad that I gave it a chance! The first chapter starts off slow, but if you persevere you will soon be hooked in. After the first chapter, which is needed to set the stage so don't skip it, things start moving and you won't want to quit reading. I am adding this to my future reads as I can't wait to find out what happens with Connor and how the other characters who we have met play into his story!

The first urban fantasy genre I ever came across. I don't think I ever read one yet. So, I will definitely read this and see how it turns out.

Such high praise for this novel, there is almost no option but to be immediately sold. I like fantasy, I do not mind throwing in some magic, myth or legends into the mix. This is such a wonderful review by the way, well done! Congrats to the author on #BOTD

This is a book that both teenagers and adults would really enjoy, especially because it features the story of a teen. I like the paranormal aspect of the book. Congrats on BOTD.

I'm huge fan of the fantasy genre. This is Urban fantasy have never read any of it. The book is a delightful combination of "Christian tradition, Celtic myth, and Native American folklore," so I am interested as well as curious about the story plot. Thank you for insightful review 👍🏻💐💐

I like the well-developed world building relating to the supernatural elements in this book. It's quite intriguing the way Conor Archer is part of a legend thus making the story compelling. Thanks for a wonderful review.
