"A beautifully crafted, riveting tale ... Martin covers timeless themes of friendship and the strength of love along with teen angst, mental illness, homelessness, runaway youths and exploitation, drugs and prostitution ... Many YA novels delve into similar themes, but few do it so beautifully." -The Prairies Book Review

"Martin seals the Vox Oculis trilogy with an explosive final installment that leaves readers hanging by a thread until the very end." -The BookLife Prize

"This fast-paced sci-fi thriller is crafted with wit and ingenuity ... emotionally riveting and intriguing." -The San Francisco Book Review
