"The final part of the Dark Hearts Trilogy, this is every bit as good as it's precursors. Having already read the first two books, I felt I knew the characters well and was confident I could predict the outcome; how wrong I was!"
"I devour Maria's books although I try to make them last for as long as possible, but fail. If they were a gazillion pages long they wouldn't be long enough!"
