Critic Reviews

“'Zena Shapters debut novel will hold you tight from start to finish. With characters as convoluted as the faultless plot, Towards White expands the mind, and the minds eye, as you track the journey of life, death, love and deception. Suspense that takes you to the brink, then pushes you over. The world building was perfection. Highly recommended!-Kim Falconer, author of The Blood in the Beginning, an Ava Sykes Novel.”
