“It was honestly so fun to read, and you made it so funny as well. I loved the humor and how easy it was to read because of the tone and voice of the story. It was like someone telling a story out loud—I could hear you tell it. Some parts made me laugh out loud! It had so much personality! It kept me guessing, and I loved the mystery and danger. I love that it’s a real legend and you used real places!”

“What a fun read! Starts off as a snowball, and quickly builds full of excitement and intrigue until it’s a full-blown avalanche! Love this writer, he keeps me glued to the book. Never a dull moment!
Better be more coming……and soon!”

“This book was fun to read. It was clean and free of suggestive phrasing. It had mysteries inside of mysteries. Twists and turns and all that I like in a good story. The Characters were fun and not too predictable. When I got to the last 10 chapters, I had to stay up until 1:45 am to finish it. It’s recommended for young readers. I am a grandma, I enjoyed it, and I plan to pass it on to my grandchildren.”
