TESTIMONIALS FOR

NIGHT'S GIFT

This is an interview that was done with "Steve Goodall" at the Station Coffee House & Gallery, just before the launch of "Night's Gift." I walked into the Coffee House and noticed a man reading my book. "Is that a good book," I innocently asked ... Steve's reply ... I started "Night's Gift" on Friday and could not put it down. Its fantastic, I really like it. I enjoy vampire stories and this one's good! I was drawn to the book when Linda (the owner of the Coffee House) pointed it out - and, by the picture on the cover, as well. I live in the neighborhood of the house that is on the cover. I'd recommend "Night's Gift" to my friends; I have a few who would read it!

  I just finished my copy and cannot wait for book two! Night's Gift is a page-turner - very descriptive. I felt as though I could be Virginia. Awesome, Mary!  June Cainey

Mary, I loved the book, especially all the references to Brantford. Could not put it down, although, I did have to take breaks to eat and drink! Even after finishing it, I am still in awe - your writing is magnificent!  Sylvia DiCesare

Fabulous story, Mary. I couldn't put it down! Yikes, and to think that for four years I walked past that house on my way to work every day, in the early morning sunshine, never knowing what terrible things had happened there during the night! Rosemarie Stewart

Mary, I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed your book; it was a constant draw to continue reading, and so easy to visualize the action, from start to finish. You certainly have an exceptional talent and imagination. How soon do you anticipate the arrival of your next book? Audrey O'Regan

Although I didn't like how Virginia submits to her fate so easily in the beginning, she comes back fighting strong as she learns the engaging tale of the vampire's story. I did enjoy most of all the author's wonderful history lesson on how the vampires came to be and the resulting affects through history that are recognizable to the reader. (Enjoyed how I could recognize the places mentioned here in Brantford - that was cool) I really enjoyed the ending!! But, I won't go on and ruin it for anyone! Janna Maranda

 Heather passed me your book, "Night's Gift" ... Now, where is the sequal? I think you write beautifully, and the flow is easy - really enjoyed it.  Aline Verbunt

 This is an awesome read - can't wait till I see the entire trilogy on the shelves! What a goldmine you have. Night's Gift should be on the New York Times Bestseller list! Yes - its that good! Jane Gagnon

I just wanted to stop by and say I thoroughly enjoyed Night's Gift. I stayed up til the wee hours of the morning reading it...the character backgrounds you gave on Basarab and his family had me hooked with every page I read...I felt like I was there! The ending has left me yearning for more and I was never expecting that as the outcome! I am so looking forward to the next one of the trilogy, along with a possible autograph...your new found fan...TrishCavich p.s. Thank you for writing such a great book!

"Night's Gift" is a page turner. By the second page I was hooked and couldn't put it down. Mary's lifelike characters were so intriguing that as the book ended I could only wish for more! Eleanor Bahry

At first I hesitated to buy the book, but once I started reading it, it was fantastic!!!! I loved the whole survival game of it! I pretty much LOVED the book. There is not one bad thing about it! I also loved the history of the vampires in it. It is truly a good book!! Brooke Nauta (we met at Coles in Welland) P.S. when the new book comes out, can you please email me? I will be looking forward to what happens. Thanks a lot!!!

"Night's Gift" is an exceptional read. An avid reader who has read "Twilight" and the original "Dracula," I really loved the alternative twist you have given an age-old story about vampires. Connection with the characters was very well developed. Excellent read; I cannot wait to experience a follow-up story. Tammy Reaker

I was just a Coles in Simcoe this past Friday and Deb had told me about your book "Night's Gift." I could NOT put it down. I was wondering when the next one will be out? You are an excellent writer with a great imagination. I enjoy the "Vampire Diaries" as well as the "Twilight" series, and your book has become one of my favorites, with me wanting more of Virginia's life! Please let me know when the next one will be out! I can't wait! Margie Austin, Simcoe, Ontario

Just finished the book "Night's Gift." Felt like I was in the story. Very descriptive and colorful, written with much enthusiasm - and it all takes place in our hometown of Brantford. Well done, Mary. Liz Ironside

Just recently finished "Night's Gift," which I purchased at the book signing at Coles, Five Point's Mall, Oshawa. I thought it was a  fabulous read and I was definitely hooked on the character development. I'm anxiously awaiting "Night's Children." Keep up the excellent work, Mary. Lizzie Riga

I enjoyed reading "Night's Gift." You wrote it in such a way that I learned about the folklore of vampires, as well as finding it to be a mystery that I couldn't put down. I wanted to know if Virginia was ever going to escape. Thank you for your talent, as well as for sharing it with us. Cary Franklin

I finished your book within 2 days! It was truly amazing. It's not very often that you come across these kinds of vampire stories. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Christina Tucci

I enjoyed "Night's Gift" very much ... I got so caught up in the story, it was hard to put the book down! I am so looking forward to "Night's Children" - do you have any idea at this time when it will be available? Thank you so much for a good read! Suzanne Legere

"Night's Gift" earned a 4 out of 5 star rating from an AMAZON review by Bexx ... this is a great book for anyone who likes vampire stories. This page turner keeps you wondering what is going to happen until the end of the book!

I loved the book! Cannot wait for the next! Please let me know when it is released! Lynne

I met you in the Chapters in Guelph and bought a copy of your book, "Night's Gift." I absolutely loved it! I couldn't put it down! Truly, you have a storytellers gift. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel. Thank you for you book! Joan Friendship-Gray

Loved your book - it was easy reading and I enjoyed it very much. I have already passed it on to my friends to read, in turn they have read it and have also enjoyed it. I look forward to your next book - thank you once again - keep writing. Marie Vervaet

I read your book, "Night's Gift," and thought it was really good. I could hardly put it down; its a really well-written story. I'm sure she'll have lots of problems to survive what will come in her future. You were able to captivate my interest and hold it. I even thought about it after I'd finished reading it - of how Virginia could escape from the count and the others of his kind. I'm looking forward to your next book, "Night's Children." How have you been doing with it? Donna Fischbacher
