Quislings [Kindle Edition]

Poppet (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

From the author of Darkroom and Dusan...

A harmless game of Spirit of the Glass changes their lives. Immersed head first into the ancient Mayan world, tattoos transform, prayers are caught by the greedy, and the rattlesnake comes to stake its claim.

Zohar issued a death threat on Halloween and now it's a race against time before they all die. Usha has to open the heart of heaven in time to save the rest of them, but the key is too cryptic. Rituals ancient and new clash in a bid for supremacy.

A Chinaman, an Italian, a Slovenian, and an American, walk into a bar - it sounds like a joke, right? Quislings are no joke.

I think Poppet is one of the neatest independent authors around. I reviewed Siethe, previously. Let me warn everyone. Poppet doesn't write for kids nor for the faint of heart, so don't pick up her books looking for sunshine and lollipops!

As with all of Poppet's writing, the characterization here is not lacking. She creates dark and mysterious personalities placed in extraordinary circumstances. Setting the book in the midst of Mayan cultural ramblings and modern crises is an especially neat treat for me. It's a rich and powerful tapestry of setting and atmosphere.

I liked this book so much, that I'm guarding what I say so I give nothing away. Experience it for yourself. You'll love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly Suspenseful, January 8, 2012

Quislings grabbed me from the start, and I fell in love with Usha. The little Italian girl with a brave heart wormed her way into mine. I rooted for her, prayed for her, and rejoiced with her. The tale begins with an innocent game of Spirit in the Glass--but the spirit that comes to call is not a friendly one. Three friends are suddenly drawn into a battle trying to understand the gods above them and the world around them. Usha discovers she must find a way to op[en the heart of heaven. The way is unclear and she is unable to determine the path, or answer the question "why me?"

The story pulls you along, drawing you into a world of mythology and legend. Tattoos come to life, gods speak, the temples become a gateway to more than just worship and the outcome will take your breath away.

Another great horror by a prolific and talented author. I can't wait to see what is next from her.

I read this in one sitting and was riveted. Poppet's books are known to keep me up all night and this was no exception. Quislings has non stop action,deliciously scary but so readable! As always, the romance scenes are sensual,erotic yet tastefully written. I'm always amazed by how well done her settings for her books are done and this is no exception.It might be a winter night here,but Quislings put me back on the beach in Mexico. All the background info on Mayan history is very interesting and must have taken a monumental amount of research. I don't like to give away plot,so I won't,but this is an excellent read. I would have paid bestseller price for any of her books. They are all very different and unusual,way above the same old tired redone plots. Treat yourself to something special.
