Reviews

""A well-written story with great twists and turns. Loveday's well-developed, complex, and flawed characters offer an interesting view of the nuances of college life-the good and the bad. A worthy read."" Jeff Shaw, author of the Lieutenant Trufant thriller series, and Echo Six Si-Fi-series. ""Campus of Shadows is a gripping story that held me captive from the first page to the last. College freshman David Everest has an unusual learning disability that pales in comparison to the sinister forces that threaten to derail his plans for a bright future. This vivid portrayal of the dark side of campus life kept me turning pages late into the night-a must read for all college students and their parents."" S.L. Menear, award-winning author of the Samantha Starr Thrillers and the Jettine Jorgensen Mysteries ""Loveday delves into the slippery slope of addiction masterfully capturing the emotions and terror one feels along the way."" Texas Stready, author of Deep the Heart of Texas - a story of addiction. ""Jo Loveday's excellent book, Campus of Shadows, describes an earth-bound person's (a person who died, but remained here as a spirit) ""possession"" of the body of a living student. The book has well-developed characters, an interesting plot, and great dialogue. I highly recommend."" Edith Fiore, Ph. D.(retired), author of The Unquiet Dead ""From the first haunting sentence, Campus of Shadows grips you with the quiet unraveling of a college freshman's mind and it doesn't let go until the last unforgettable line. I loved this book. It belongs on everyone's bookshelf."" Jeffrey Phillips, author of The Past That Kills and the Jesse Stoker Mystery Series.
