Wonderful! The best new fantasy series I've read in quite some time. Excellent character building, truly evil bad guys, adventure, love, forgiveness, pathos & room to expand the cast & their journeys. I find myself rubbing my hands in anticipation.. Brava, Ms. Alsop, Brava! – Lyndy E. Wright My heart soared reading this fantastic tale of love, loss, redemption, pain and hope. It is simply amazing. No words can describe the beauty of the soul reflected in these pages. – Ashely- Amazon Reviewer The author is a master at young adult action, sci-fi/fantasy. – Rachel Andersen The characters and the story are what make this great, and I like the flawed hero, Kale. - Christian McCallister This book kept me wanting more... A great page turner. - Amanda Heroes Kale, Saro, and now Reese fight for Galdoni rights, safety, and freedom to live a normal life among humans. This is also a romance like the first two. Just like our previous heroes, Reese is a better man with a woman to give him the drive to be more than he was created to be. – Busymom- Amazon Reviewer This series a Rocks. Great characters and fast fun reading. You get it all with this storyline, love, passion, anger and revenge, download them all and I promise you won't stop reading them till you're done. – Doughgirl61 ...To my delight she wove in the characters from book one and told a tale that takes a good look at problems within our society such as prejudice, abuse, and greed. The Galdoni series is wonderful for YA, dystopia, fantasy, paranormal, and romance readers as well as anyone else that likes to read a good book. – Rachel Anderson- Reviewer I starting reading this book expecting it to be another story of an angel falling for a mortal. Not the case at all! Galdoni are actually a breed created by scientists for the purpose of fighting. Not just any fighting but fighting to their death. On television. They are born and raised for that purpose only. When "Kale", finds he is freed temporarily and finds himself among the humans, he discovers there is so much more to him than fighting. He discovers his humanity, along with the ability to love. And for the first time ever.....he discovers friends. Such a well written, entertaining, thought provoking read. Showing us the ugliness that greed can create as well as the love that comes from understanding. I loved the storyline, the anti-bullying message and how Cheree shows us with her imagination that everyone deserves a second chance. – TradyD- Amazon Reviewer Galdoni Book Three: Out of Darkness is about Reece, one of the first Galdoni allowed to go to school as part of the integration program. He combats hostility, hypocrisy, and his own instincts to fight until the day Ava walks into the classroom. Reece is torn by the way he is drawn to the female Galdoni and what she believes about him. When a threat attacks the school, Reece confronts pain, fear, and heartache to ensure that Ava, the school, and the rest of the Galdoni will never again become a target.About the AuthorCheree Alsop is the mother of a beautiful, talented daughter and amazing twin sons who fill every day with joy and laughter.
