What They're Saying
Critics Review
Brilliant and bananas … we love it. * MAGIC RADIO Book Club *Joyful, silly and funny. * THE HERALD *Two Word Review - Read it! 5 Word Review - What Are You Waiting For?… my favourite of the series, not only does it manage to be funnier than the others it also gets a whole lot darker. * THE READER’S ROOM *As completely and wonderfully bonkers as the previous two books in this series … a rollercoaster of a ride … kooky and fantastical, a riotous experience, one not to be missed. As The Times put it “a tennis match of witty banter.” * WRITING.IE *Full of dark comedy that will leave you chuckling under your breath … it is always lovely to catch up with the gang in Manchester, watch them get on to new shenanigans and deal with some more supernatural stuff. * NERD DAILY *This is a series that I would happily read more of. * SFCROWSNEST *Another great entry in this series. McDonnell does some impressive world building and deploys a range of types of humour, including some great one liners … But at the heart of this series is McDonnell’s great compassion for the crew of The Stranger Times. On top of plenty of ongoing mysteries, this is the not-so-secret ingredient that will keep readers coming back for more. * THE BLURB *Truly epic … one of the best series I have ever read. * WHISPERING STORIES *
