Review

*Goodreads Review* Author and new series that just catches your attention and draws you in!

"A little bit of old speech mixed with gypsies and, a fantasy twist! This author and new series just catches your attention and draws you in, will be one of the next best sellers..."
*Goodreads Review* Well written and executed beginning to a world of women seeking freedom.

"She tried to ensnare a nobleman's son, which backfired raining destruction on her tribe. Waking in a world not her own after being cursed was not what she wanted. Good story telling."

*Amazon.in Review* Fantastic Read! "Excellent reading. It transports you to a different world. Absolutely addictive and thrilling, this book is going to stay with you forever."

    I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this novella. This is a great start to a new series. And I can't wait to read the next book.
    This started as forbidden love and a tragedy that changes the out come of their lives. I was captivated from the beginning and couldn't wait to see where the story was going.
    It has everything you want in a magical world.. I loved it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gypsy's honor with a touch of love
    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020

    The legend story Curse of the Lianshi is a mix of romance, tragedy, and fantasy. When Francesca, Gypsy woman is declared as an undesirable match for nobleman Jean Claude, it will start a bloody tragedy. After her loss, Francesca will turn in Lianshi, an immortal girl who takes things in her hands. She is a woman warrior, a leader of her new tribe, and her pain is now her motivation. An excellent writing style that hits heart of the reader, I sympathized with injustice.

    It started off great with an eye catching story. Then it got very confusing. There were so many different characters and tribes and enemies, I couldn't keep track of who was who.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A riveting origin story!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2021
    I was surprised at just how quickly I was able to get through this. Barring it being a novella, the writing is fast-paced, engaging, and forward-moving. The story tells about how the main character, Francesca, undergoes a drastically huge change in her life. A reckless decision born of infatuation and passion snowballs into events that forever will change the course of her life, as well as many others in the future it seems. The world is very rich in both atmospheric and historical detail, and the revelation behind Francesca’s ‘change’ was an interesting one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful read
    Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021
    A very well-written book as words weave actions and you can visualize the magic and mystery with characters in thoughts. My poetic mind was put in a trance and I felt like having a live audience to love spells and blood curses! This book is a page-turner and hard to put down. Don’t miss it!
