I Was a Teenage Book Geek, 29 Sept 2010 "Crescendo is action packed and creepy, and just awesome! ...Crescendo is quite simply amazing!" Once Upon a Bookcase, 28 Sept 2010 "The author's scary, violent, soul-thirsty angels prove both disturbing and fascinating...Fitzpatrick excels at juxtaposing the paranormal elements of the frightening world of angels and Nephilim with that of the inner life of a teenage girl...The twisty narrative contains many surprises that will keep readers guessing until the very last page."

Wondrous Reads, 11 Oct 2010 "...the feeling of a complete and vibrant world that lurks just out of sight, waiting to be discovered.
