Recent Praise
"Matt and his friends must overcome evil just like the group did in Stephen King’s, It, or the young Wizard in Harry Potter. The story also is reminiscent of the Hardy Boys mysteries and the coming-of age movie Goonies with the addition of the supernatural….”- Donna Smith, The US Review of Books
