Semi-finalist – Pursuit of Shadows

“Gorgeously vivid descriptions of the settings established around us add new fine layers to the immersion that continues getting deeper and deeper. The plot and twists are developed in such a way to drop hints for you to possibly pick up on, and keep the pages flying by at a rapid pace. Splashes of mirthful snark and chill-inducing prose make this a thrilling, stand-out read that is far too difficult to put down.”

Semi-finalist – A Keeper’s Tale

“So when I was reading through the synopsis of this book as I prepped for my batch of December SPFBO books, I was immediately excited. Not only because it has dragons (YES) but also because it does another thing that I usually love: subverting and twisting classic fairytale tropes to tell it’s own version of the story.

Damn if Andrews didn’t nail this one.”

Semi-finalist – A Threat of Shadows

“This opening left me feeling immediately comfortable, wrapped in a Gemmell / Eddings type cloak of expectation. This was a novel that was charming me from the get-go thanks to being atmospheric and setting the scene perfectly. It left me eager to read the next chapter and to learn more of the story and as a reader you can’t really ask for more.”

Other Reviews:

TL Branson – “Just to start, the title of this review on Amazon is “BLOWN AWAY!” because that’s truly how I feel after reading A Threat of Shadows. A friend of mine called me a tough critic, so 5 stars for Ms. Andrews is high praise. It is just that awesome people.”

“This is generally the section where I share a few things that didn’t work for me. Yea. I can’t do that here. I loved A Threat of Shadows that much. Seriously. I haven’t liked a book this much in awhile. I’ve been reading Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn for three months. I read a chapter and put it down and forget about it for awhile. But…I could not put down A Threat of Shadows. There you go Ms. Andrews. You’re better than Mistborn. LOVED IT.”

“Author JA Andrews’s story is a nice bit of vindication for any liberal-arts students tired of STEM scholars laughing at them.”
