Anna Lee Huber has written a fascinating mystery readers
won't be able to put down. The storyline is dark and
foreboding giving a mysterious quality to both the
characters and the setting. Huber uses vivid details to
bring the Dalmays' estate, Banbogle Caste, and Larkspur
Retreat to life. Readers will want to live in the Dalmays'
estate, explore Banbogle Castle, and avoid Larkspur Retreat
at all costs. MORTAL ARTS is filled with plot twists that
will keep readers guessing the antagonist's identity
throughout the story. William's story will pull at readers'
heartstrings, and Kiera's determination to help him will
have readers' rooting for her from the very beginning.
Secondary characters such as Miss Remmington, Michael,
Constable Paxton, and Mac bring diverse personalities, and
witty dialogue to MORTAL ARTS. Sebastian Gage is a
surprisingly clever character, and his moody personality
makes him a great detective. The villain of MORTAL ARTS is
one of the creepiest I've ever read about, and is the stuff
of nightmares, causing me to become absorbed even more in
the shadowy world Huber has created. MORTAL ARTS is a must
read, and is one of those rare books that will both shock
and please readers.
