Review: Mysterious goings-on in Swansea
Rating: 4 out of 5

Note: I read the manuscript before it was published.The Whispers of the Sprite struck me as an unusual story. I enjoyed reading about the main character, Ania, and her attempt to break away from her controlling mother by going to college in Swansea, Wales. I found the atmosphere of danger and mystery which gathers around Ania right from the beginning to be an interesting contrast to her sort of mundane student life. It's the story of a very normal girl who's caught up in events she doesn't understand. It's told in first-person, present tense, and so it's very immediate. Be warned, there is some sex and violence in here; I think it makes the book a more compelling read. And the romance with Gabriel is very hot...I didn't expect it to be so carnal!I thought the author did a great job considering she's not a native-born English speaker.
