Thank you to the book bloggers, authors and readers who joined in my blog tour and made it such a great celebration. I wish I had more books to giveaway.

What people are saying… Season of Shadow and Light

With every book release an author holds their breath.

Reviews like these let them exhale.

Like this one from Helen Sibbrett, Australian Romance Readers Association…

And more…

“Season of Shadow and Light is a book I never would have picked up had I seen it on a bookshelf, and I would have been poorer for not reading it.”

Duffy The Writer

“Redolent with an Aussie culture and language fast disappearing beneath the flattening of cosmopolitan life, Season of Shadow and Light confirms McLeod is fast becoming an important chronicler of Australian life.”

Rowena Holloway – author

“As always with Jenn’s novels, Season of Shadow and Light is tightly plotted and perfectly paced, abounding with twists that will lead you first in one direction but will soon have you changing focus as she skilfully ratchets up the intrigue and keeps you guessing right up until its cracker of an ending.”

Marcia – Book Muster Down Under

“Season Of Shadow And Light is Jenn J. McLeod’s third novel and for me, she just keeps getting better with each release… From start to finish I was sucked into Paige’s world and her quest for the truth about her family.”

1girl2manybooks

“Not one to mince her words, McLeod tells this story in a no-holds-barred manner that leaves the reader with absolutely no doubt as to the importance of the story, it’s characters, and the lessons we can all learn from having read it.”

AusRomToday

“A beautiful Australian narrative full of larger than life characters, wild and glorious countryside, horses, romance, secrets, love, connections , family and a fantastic message about acceptance – there is a little something in this book for all to enjoy.”

Read, Writing & Riesling Book Blog

“Season of Shadow and Light is a complex story filled with secrets which make for some intense mystery that kept me guessing, some of those guesses made room for some hairy situations had they come to pass. It is a story of family, of trust, of betrayal and most of all of healing. I loved it from the very first page to the very last.”

Michelle ~ Beauty & Lace

“Featuring a cast of strong female characters this novel examines the concept of nature versus nurture and questions under what circumstances is it acceptable to break a promise.”

Kathryn White – author
