Reviews

There were times when I was almost too scared to turn the page . . . Well written and brilliantly paced . . . As it says on the cover: "No one is safe" * Parenting Without Tears *
Helen writes so perfectly, that you just cant not read. She knows precisely how to play on all your inner fears, and then some * Bookwitch *
Urban Legends was an exciting end to the trilogy. There was heart-stopping action, surprises that shocked me . . . plenty of creepy abandoned buildings and plenty of atmosphere * Flutteringbutterflies.com *
Grant's pacing in Urban Legends is impeccable . . . just a perfect end to the series . . . I cant recommend Urban Legends and its predecessors highly enough * A Fantastical Librarian *
Make[s] the kind of breathtaking journey I wanted to begin again the moment I'd finished * Awfully Big Reviews *
