    Book number one of a two book paranormal fantasy series.-a I read the
    well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback
    published by the Nancy Yost Literary Agency in 2025.-a I am reading it
    again already, very unusual for me.-a I am eagerly awaiting the release
    of book number two in the series.-a By the reception on Amazon, many
    other people are impatiently waiting also.

    Ten years ago, the first twelve gates, the breaches, opened on Earth.
    After a couple of months, all of the gates erupted with monsters who
    killed thousands of humans.-a After the army destroyed all of the killer monsters at great cost, many people were discovered to have paranormal talents.-a Talents for mining in the breaches, talents for shielding, and talents for fighting.

    Adaline Moore, Ada, was a worker bee who suddenly became a Talent after
    the breaches started opening.-a A talent for finding ore in the breaches.
    -aShe has been into hundreds of gates but the latest gate is different.

    The authors have a website at:
    -a-a https://ilona-andrews.com/

    My rating:-a 6 stars out of 5 stars-a (yes, six stars !)
    Amazon rating:-a 4.9 out of 5 stars (4,546 reviews)

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention 3 months ago. I got it for Christmas and just finished it. Excellent.

    As you mention, the authors said there would be one more -- and they
    made it sound like there would be exactly one more. I know they have
    made a big commitment to the Maggie the Undying series[1], but I'm
    hoping they can continue this one as well.

    Did you catch the connection to the Innkeeper Series in the latter third
    of this one?

    Tony
    [1] Which I am also looking forward to, of course.

    I love crossovers ! I used to buy the Marvel pairup comics first back
    in the 1960s when I could afford the 25 cents.
