Reviews of Otherside: The Serenity

“I loved the magic system [the author] built. So unique, and the idea that a thought or world can mold reality is really fun! The ending was beautifully bittersweet.” -Kelly E.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Customer Review: “I enjoyed reading this book. Kept me wondering what was coming next. I look forward to more books from this author.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Customer Review: “This story could have been just another ‘afterlife’ fantasy, but the author took it in unexpected directions. I was engaged with the main character from the beginning to the end. I love the surprise turn of events near the end. Very well written; the story line never flagged, but the pace kept moving forward to the end. Highly recommend this book!”
