What the Critics are Saying about Laura’s novels

Betwixters is a poetic and magical journey that leaves you mesmerized in the imagery.

Vanity Fair, France

Laura C. Cantu’s new Betwixters middle-grade series is a series to watch…Book One, Once Upon A Time had me excited for the next in the series.

New York Times, Blog

Page turner I was more than pleasantly surprised when I read Ancient Rising! Great characters, plot and subplots. I read the complete version and loved how the story continued to morph into something unexpected…a bit of a genre shifter. With a little money (maybe a lot) this could be made into a great movie someday…but don’t wait until then! Kudos to Laura Cantu!

One of the best books in its genre Laura Cantu’s book, ‘Xandria Drake: Ancient Rising’ won a Goodreads award, and having just finished it, now I know why. It is a richly written tale that grabs you by the cuffs at the get-go: the author knows how to build up the suspense and give you the small screaming mimies while you’re at it, so much that by the time Xandria is thrust into a hitherto unknown world fuelled by magic, you’re actually digging in your seat for the succeeding hours of pure reading pleasure. Let me suffice it to say that I love this book immensely. It is one of those rare top-notch, high-quality, well-written books that have ever come out of Kindle’s woodwork—the writing is so polished. Laura Cantu has a way with words, a knack for integrating verisimilitude, that even the most unbelievable scenes become as believable as the person sitting next to you…you will enjoy it. Five stars for this one.
