'I very quickly fell in love with Claire McFall's Ferryman... It's a beautiful story, which sinks you deeper and deeper into the characters, the world and the suspense.'

'It is a thrilling read that is emotionally captivating, is intense, uplifting and ultimately tragic all at the same time... Powerful, slightly tranquil, delicate and almost needs its own genre to describe it.'

'very intriguing'
-- Youth Services Book Review

'Claire McFall has brought to life a thought-provoking story about life and death with a fresh perspective on the afterlife that is brilliant and unexpected. Ferryman is a unique take on Greek mythology with vivid descriptions, a sweet love story, and a stunning journey. The romance between Dylan and Tristan is sincere and complicated as they travel through dangerous terrain and fight deadly wraiths. They have a fun banter and an easy chemistry, giving each other a chance at a new beginning. Tristan is more than a guide and protector, he's a calming force Dylan holds onto in her afterlife, while Dylan makes Tristan feel alive for the first time. Ferryman is a riveting love story with a fun spin on mythology and a unique approach to the afterlife.'
