Critic reviews

“…never dull…a neat twist on the concepts of the fountain of youth and reincarnation.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“A fast-paced, intriguing, richly written puzzle box of a book. Every twist and turn left me breathless. That first paragraph grabbed me and wouldn't let me go.” (Aaron Michael Ritchey, award-winning author of The Sages of the Underpass and The Cunning Man series.)

"This is a captivating tale about witches and demons and a battle as old as time. It is a story of love, loss, and being captured by purpose. The main character is likable and brave, and her growth as she discovers the truth about her past and her power over the future makes a story well worth reading. I highly recommend it!” (Cheree Alsop, best-selling author of The Silver Series)

Magic, mystery, drama, it's all here!

Excellent writing. This book takes a good amount of typical fantasy tropes and flips them on their head in such a satisfying way. Story had me hooked! Romance drips a bit heavy at some points for this reader, but a fantastic book nonetheless.

This was so good!

Such an interesting take on the Fountain of Youth mythos. Narrator was wonderful! Dark and twisty at times. And that ending!! I’m looking forward to book two!

Look out Harry Potter, there is a new book series in town!

First we had Harry Potter, then the Hunger Games, now we have From a Youth, A Fountain did Flow!

Road trip from Az to Ca gave us the opportunity to listen to our first audiobook and this was the perfect fit. We were bummed when we only got 1/2 way through and had to stop listening until our return trip home!
Scarlet Singer and her unexpected new friends take you on a wild ride of witches, spells, portals and demons! Excellent imagery and descriptions really pull the reader in and holds them in the grip of suspense. Why is this happening to Scarlet? What is a Fountain? Why her? Will she be ok? Will she pick Marcus or Zig?
Talk about cliff hangers?! Miranda better be hard at work on book 2 as I am not sure I can wait too long for my next fix!
Do yourself and others a favor by putting a spell on them until they too read From a Youth a Fountain did Flow!
