I thoroughly enjoyed The Shattered Radiant by Luca Ottonello. Here's my honest, spoiler-free review of this imaginative fantasy adventure.

I love finding a book that completely takes me out of myself and immerses me in another world. For me, that kind of pure escapism requires three things: memorable characters, a compelling story, and a writer with the talent to bring it all to life.

This is the first techno-thriller I’ve read—but as a long-time fan of thrillers, I wanted to give it a try, and I’m glad I did. THE HAWK ENIGMA is a fast-paced, high-stakes story with compelling characters and plenty of action. In short, it’s an adrenaline rush from start to finish.

Fran has now started The Hope Series, with "Wherever You Will Go" being the first
