Reader Reviews

In your world…

… they say many make-believe beings come out at night: werewolves, vampires, and monsters from underneath the bed. But where I come from, something ancient, beautiful, even terrible comes out when day and night are weakest, called the Thinning. You may say that’s the stuff of faerie tales, and you’d be right. Now I’m old, but when I was young, all of history converged for one exciting moment: the day the two worlds met me, Jonathan Jackson. And like me, they were never the same again.

“What an adventure! The intriguing story line and characters captivated my attention throughout the book. I can’t wait for book two.”

Josh E.

“I don't usually read books for pleasure, especially fictional books. Who has time to do that these days? This book was recommended to me and after starting it, I never put it down. It brought out the inner child in me. It has everything a man's heart longs for; an adventure to live, a battle to fight, and a beauty to rescue. Read this book if you want your heart to come alive.”

“In short, this book is a pleasure to read. Mr. Lindquist's unique storytelling style and meter skillfully blends ideas both fresh and familiar into a story of trial, growth, and adventure which I am confident will captivate, instruct, and inspire any young reader. Again, this book is splendid, and I cannot recommend it enough.”

“I really enjoyed this book! The story flows so smoothly and is so engaging that it was hard for me to put my kindle down once I opened the book. While this is a fantasy, the fun conversations between friends and between family resonate with my real daily life. Even for me who is not a native speaker of English, the language is easy to follow. I highly recommend this book to teenagers!”
