What a Nice Review for A Darker Moon!

Minding Spot reviews A Darker Moon and there's a chance to win a free e-book version of the novel!


Minding Spot says, A Darker Moon is
"a new twist on the Adam and Cain story, but it's a fresh and interesting take ... very thought-provoking. Watts has a knack of writing just the right words that I was entranced, pages flying by, I was so immersed in the story.  So, if you're looking for a new author to try, or you like mythological fantasy, pick up A Darker Moon! It's well worth every cent!"
