Reviews

"The short story "Passing" was my favourite story from the vampire anthology The Eternal Kiss, so I was delighted to learn that "Passing" was going to be expanded from a little peek into a world to a full series." - Catherine Haines, On the Nightstand

"In this short story/prequel to Crusade, you can expect to see the beginnings of the romance between Jen and the gorgeous Antonio and the beginnings of a wonderful world you'd die to be part of. If I hadn't already read (and absolutely loved) Crusade, then Passing certainly did it's job at convincing me to pick it up!" - Wendy V, Cupcake and a Latte

"As the novella/lead in to their new Crusade series, Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie have given us a fleeting yet very intriguing look at what is to come. The brief glimpse we see of each character is enough to ignite immense curiosity." - Marissa, Novels on the Run
