A great, fun read for all! Whether you like Broadway, New York, faeries, or have just always wondered if something was really there when you spun your head to look, this book is for you. It is written from a place of love for all of those things, and the readers experience as well. And unlike many in this genre, a good read for you and the young ones.
I have read "urban fantasy" for years, Simon R Green, Jim Butcher, and this takes that genre and adds something missing from those fine authors, it adds hope. And it does it while still being a page turner without resorting to graphic and unnecessary violence. Mark proves that you can have suspense and epic battles without all the gore.
A great first novel and I already have the sequel and can't wait to read it!

Newbie Fantasy Reader Won Over With Fantastic Writing
I saw the author, Mr. Aldrich, on stage at Milwaukee Repertory Theater in TITANIC this fall. He was amazing in his role as Mr. Murdoch, gorgeous voice, splendid acting. I wanted to support this grand actor when I read about his published first novel. But WAIT! It's fantasy! I don't read fantasy! But I bought it anyway to support him and then decided to try it. Once I started, I didn't stop. It was compelling from the start, and I was immediately drawn in. I love the ties to Broadway and the theater as I am an avid theater goer. I also very much enjoyed the fantasy part, all the wonderful and terrible creatures, so luridly described, that pop up in this wild adventure. While I may not consider myself a reader of fantasy yet, I will be looking forward to Mr. Aldrich's second book in this series. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this book! It is a perfect summer read. The characters are likable, funny, and a bit unconventional as heroes, which I enjoyed very much! The story is engaging and I couldn’t put it down for the last third. I am loaning it to my friend, who asked to read it for her beach trip, and I am buying another copy to send to my teenage niece and nephew! Looking forward to book 2!
