Unrequited takes you on a nonstop thrill ride." - Chrissy Peebles, author of The Ruby Ring Saga

"Mason and Shayla really grow on you as the main characters of this story. (...) As we learn more of Mason, and see Shayla change, we start to see two very different characters from when we began." - chiliztri

"It's a love story, a supernatural thriller and fantasy novel all rolled into one. Its expertly written with believable characters and genuinely care about. It actually reminds me a little of Clive Barker's "Weaveworld"." - Marc B.
