Falling Leaves

Reviews / Votes

????? Building on the strength of his fantastic Bitter Sixteen trilogy, author Stefan Mohamed returns with an adult read that skilfully blends the fantastical with the everyday - making for an exhilarating and moving tale that cleverly combines supernatural happenings with human themes of loss, growth and love. A brilliant read. -- Luke Marlowe * The Bookbag * Falling Leaves is certainly an intriguing read. I enjoyed the sense of foreboding surrounding Vanessa's troubling nightmares and visions alongside the reappearance of Mark. And in order to make sense of Mark's appearance, Vanessa is forced to revisit memories from her past, including the grief she suffered when he disappeared. With Mark back by her side, and with the help of her aunt, Vanessa embarks on a difficult journey to find the truth, to make sense of their situation, and to uncover past secrets. * The Owl on the Bookshelf * ???? Once the scene had been set this became a fast moving and engaging adventure that will appeal to those who enjoyed the author's Bitter Sixteen trilogy. The exploration of the effects interactions have on others, and of the damage caused by dogmatic beliefs added interest - serious issues are explored in a story that never appears to take itself too seriously. The style and zest of the prose make this an entertaining, dynamic read. * Neverimitate *
