“Heart-pounding action is met with equally strong humor… Joy and fear blend together nicely, with Ava’s dark humor complementing the harsh situations she and Kelso find themselves in.

“…created one of the absolute darkest, eeriest, and most formidable antagonists that I have ever heard of, in fiction or real life.

“Wood serves up heroes, action, and unrelenting danger like few dark fantasy adventure writers writing today. He is quick with humor that is threaded throughout the story in just the right amounts, has a talent for unfolding action, but always puts a lot of heart and pathos into his characters.

“Wood’s incredibly evil (and that’s no exaggeration) character, the Spider, has another layer of darkness added to her character this time around, which is something that I hardly thought possible.
