As the old Coterie Clock ticks the time away, they rush to save each other, dig up a centuries-old cadet corpse, and shine the lantern into the past to bring back someone they care for before he runs out of time once and for all. " It puts off Cain and Abel vibes when it comes to the brothers. Enamored with the story and characters. Couldn't put this down and had to be reminded a couple times by my husband to eat. Can't wait to read the next installment." Haley S. , NetGalley Reviewer "This was a strange but pleasant adventure book. A quick and gripping read with rather unique world building. I definitely recommend this book to all fantasy enthusiasts!" Stacy D., NetGalley Reviewer "The 'adventure story' feels like a darker, more dangerous Alice in Wonderland replete with magic forests, steam punk themes, and Civil War relics. The 'journey through hell' is more of a psychological thriller, where the hero is imprisoned almost within his own mind, and must work through the tricks and mind games subjected on him by the antagonist, who is his own demonic brother. I found the writing style to be very refreshing. One moment could feel like a quaint romantic Disney movie, the next could be a macabre Tim Burton." Ecthelion, NetGalley Reviewer "Beware & Behold didn't fall into that dark hole that is known as the second book imposter syndrome. This one was even better than the first and I know that the third book will be even better. I'm not sure how you could get better than this one. This one was a lot of fun, darker than the first, and Becca grew up a bit from the last book. I'm so excited for book three and now I must dream about where that one will take me." Stay Fetters, Goodreads Reviewer Beneath the roots of weeping willows, The dead lie shackled in their graves, Above the tombstones their voices bellow, Shattered glass of long forgotten days.
