"Reviewed By Melinda Hills for Readers’ Favorite
Left with only a partial understanding of her identity after an interrupted mind wipe, Sarah Card is whisked away from her home and parents and crashes onto an unfamiliar city street. The Last Alley: House of Cards Book 1 by Michelle and Trishelle Erickson takes you along on Sarah’s quest to save herself from Lurkers and find the Tapestry, the haven where she was supposed to land. Sarah immediately makes friends as other cards – magic users and magic born – join her in a battle to survive an attack by Lurkers, evil spirits that want to suck the magic out of anyone they can find. With a human to help, the group finds its way to safety and is introduced to Taps, a magical woman who is the keeper of the realm. They attend classes at a special school where Sarah can learn about who and what she is – a special card with an important destiny. As the magic continues to disappear and evil forces get closer to Tapestry, will Sarah be able to find out what she needs to know in time to help save the House of Cards?
The Last Alley: House of Cards Book 1 immerses you in a world that is magical yet exists side by side with the ‘real’ world. A wide variety of unique and interesting characters play clearly defined roles in this quick-paced story that is wonderfully entertaining. There is plenty of action, suspense, emotion and cooperation as Sarah and her friends are confronted with dangers that threaten their world. Michelle and Trishelle Erickson have created a fascinating world that holds your interest and promises more to come.
I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to subsequent volumes! The characters are well developed and interesting and the action keeps you turning the pages. Well done!"
Can I say: "Oh yeah! Oh Yeah!" (High five to Mom) "We did it, we did it!" (Insert funny dance moves)
