READER REVIEWS:

"Elves and dark wolves and humans – oh, my! This story centers itself in a forest - no, that’s not quite right – in two forests, one in the human world and one in Emeralusia, land of the elves….

Ms. Blackwelder has gone to great depths to create Emeralusia, its creatures and its history...The characters are great….I’d recommend this for YA!" -Magnolia @Goodreads

"A must read for anyone who loves a good story, and the idea that true love conquers all." -Shawn @Goodreads


"I must say I could not put them (Gate of Lake Forest/Prisoners of Pride) down. I read the first book in one night; I know my students would love to hear more about your books.”-Charla VandeBerg (Raymond B. Stewart Middle)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but could have been better June 7, 2012

By DianaSakioti

Format:Kindle Edition

I liked the book well enough but I can't say it really captured me that much. The writting technique was very good and the story seemed pretty strong but I felt that it could have been much better. The relationship between Michael and Evelyn seemed very sweet and I loved Wind as a character. Overall I would recommend this book to those having fascination with the supernatural and craving for romance mixed with action

I had a hard time staying INTERESTED in this book, after 4 chapters I quit reading it because it seemed like it was the same over & over again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Really? May 15, 2012

By Sara Dalian

Format:Kindle Edition

I have just started this story. In print terms I guess I am only a few pages into the story, but already I feel the forced writing, the awkwardness behind the prose and I wonder if this is to be yet another book I have to force myself to finish. I'm giving it a 3 star rating in the hopes that something will get better before long.
