Queen of Darkness Reviews

Critical reading is so important, and this gripping tale may be a very interesting vehicle. -- Carolyn Boyd * The School Librarian *
Queen of Darkness makes a legendary historical female icon fascinating and relatable. It will captivate readers who already have an interest in the Romans but as it doesn't assume any prior knowledge it can be enjoyed by everyone. -- Review * BookTrust *
Full of historical detail, 'Queen of Darkness' is an absorbing read. -- Review * North Somerset Teachers' Book Award *
