early praise for persuasion

I am so thankful that we’ve had many readers diving into early copies of Persuasion and sharing their thoughts with us! As with Compulsion, I’m sharing some of those initial thoughts here.

Thank you so much for sharing our excitement about bringing this book to readers! (Can I say that without sounding like a complete dork? Probably not, but what the heck!)

“So much love for this series! Book 2 is very different from Compulsion, but still completely engrossing. Martina Boone does an amazing job of exploring more of the characters introduced in the first book–especially Cassie and Seven. We also learn more about the curse and its conditions, as well as the history of Watson Island. It has more of an eerie feel than the first book, and the stakes are definitely even higher in the sequel. And of course, there’s plenty of the stalwart and sassy Eight Beaufort. *swoon* I can’t wait for book 3!” ~ Lelia Nebeker, Book Buyer, One More Page Bookstore

“Magic abounds in this paranormal romance, but it is Barrie’s strength and determination, even when she faces impossible choices, that is the most compelling. If you’re looking for a beautifully written, deliciously atmospheric novel that captivates you from the first page then Persuasion is for you. I highly recommend it.” ~ Erin Cashman, author of THE EXCEPTIONALS

“Martina Boone does an extraordinary job weaving together history, magic, mystery, and modern times. She unspools questions like the Fire Carrier unspools his ball of flames across the river. Readers will swoon over Eight and Barrie and pray that they’ll make it as a couple.” ~ Liza, WhoRuBlog

“Well-researched folklore, myth, superstition, and regional beliefs are woven through the Heirs of Watson Island story of family curses and paranormal ‘gifts’. The melt-your-heart romance scenes I adored in Compulsion are a little more titillating in Persuasion! This is also a story about friendship and family, understanding and trust; steeped in history, with a big helping of mystery.” ~ Linda, La La in the Library

“The thrilling mystery and suspense left me on edge. I needed to know more, but didn’t want the drama and mystery to come to an end. I appreciate the author’s well researched and well described folklore, southern myths, and traditions in the series. The magic described took me through a roller coaster of emotions. It truly is a book that touches all the senses and crosses through many book genres.” ~ Alicia, Book Lovin’ Alicia

“Martina Boone writes with sensual description of sights, smells, and temperatures. I can picture the white peacock perched on Aunt Pru’s ancient Mercedes. I can feel the heat from the scorching southern climate. I can taste the Mississippi mud brownies.” ~ Jennifer, JenniferBardsley.net
