REVIEWS

PAUL HALEWOOD

It was amazing! It kept pulling me in different directions. The story has everything...WW2 actions, time travel, an evil villain, romance, sadness, and a wonderful ending.

DEBBIE RIGBY

A real page turner. The storyline drags you in from the very first chapter. I couldn't put it down. I found myself empathising with Jack in the decisions he was forced to make.

ANGELA HEWITT

The characters were great, and well written. I found it really gripping, especially towards the end. I loved it!

BEN CASSIDY

This was right up my street. I enjoyed reading it, and to be honest I got through it so much faster than I usually do with novels which means it must have gripped me!
