What is your opinion?

The last boy the sea kept

"A most unusual ghost story, full of tension as the details of the pact with the sea are gradually revealed. An absorbing read, fully aligning with my own distaste for religions that try to control forms of human love that do not fit their own dogma. A phrase you use when Cillian and Oisin are preparing for the final scenes, sticks with me: "climbing towards the edge of the world together". With advanced age and chemotherapy combining to make the act impossible, I still have all the memories of expressed love to keep me human. Thank you for sharing your story with us."

Fantastic

"What a fantastic gripping story, and what an amazing concept, dark but so imaginative and interesting, I could not put my phone down (except to go to the loo 😅) until I'd finished it. Brilliant."
