Shadow Sight Reviews

"I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys sarcastic wit, supernatural beings, a good mystery
and one kick butt heroine."
-Paranormal Romance Guild

"E.J. Stevens did a great job creating a unique Urban Fantasy world with the start of her Ivy Granger, Psychic Detective series."
-Parajunkee's View

"If you’re a fan of mythology or paranormal books, you would enjoy Shadow Sight.
There is an element of romance that begins to develop towards the end (which keeps you wondering what will happen in the next book) to satisfy the paranormal romance fans. But if you’d rather read a mythology-based mystery told from the point of view of a quirky, often sarcastic, main character, then you definitely need to read this book!"
-Flashlight Reader

"Instantly captivating and an absolute must read for adults, E.J's Shadow Sight, the very first in her series, is a must buy and one book readers need to read ASAP! Readers will love E.J's signature humorous writing, her kick-butt protagonist, and one heck of an unpredictable story."
-A Cupcake and a Latte

"I absolutely love the creepies in this book.
If you like strange creatures and quirky-oddball descriptions this is for you."
-Dizzy Izzy Book Reviews

"I love the world of Harborsmouth. It is full of interesting and intriguing supernatural beings who live amongst humans...Also, Stevens has again managed to create characters that I loved. She has this knack for making quirky, endearing characters. Ivy, Jinx, Kaye, Marvin, and Hob are perhaps more addicting than the characters from the Spirit Guide series."
-Reading Lark

"Ivy Granger is a great heroine and Shadows Sight is a book that promises a new series full of all the things I love: Magic, a flawed but tough as nails heroine, with a quirky and loveable bestfriend/sidekick, a Sexy and Magical love interest, all the most interesting and frightening creatures of lore, and some hilarious dialogue...and did I mention Magic? Seriously Why isn't this book on more readers radars?! GET THIS BOOK, the price is great and the fact that there will be more books in this series is such a treat."
-The Artful Dodger

"I quickly found myself enjoying this novel and being caught up in the story...I loved the character Ivy. She has a way of making me laugh out loud."

"The main character of the book, Ivy, has something that we all enjoy, she's a feisty girl.

"I really like this series. The characters are likable and the romance between Ivy and Ceff is straightforward (well for a fae and Kelpie!.)"
-EerieGirl218

"While Ms. Stevens is known for mixing humor with serious subjects with well-rounded characters...Burning Bright has all that but is an edgier, darker story, with hints of more the same to come.  You’ll note there are none of my niggles in this review, there wasn’t a thing I would ask to be changed.  I was well pleased, a little exhausted and just a tad surprised when I finished the book.
A story well told, what more could a reader ask for?"
