Review quote
"Texas Gothic is really fantastic read ... This is definitely going on my re-read pile though and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel. I'd recommend this to any YA paranormal fan who likes smart heroines, a good mystery and a hero to swoon over" -- Sarah Gibson Feeling Fictional "Perfect for a teenager looking for a read, this gripping gothic tale is a winner" -- Jo Milne South Wales Argus
