J.D. Netto

Reviews
The Broken Miracle
The Echoes of Fallen Stars
Immortal Crowns (#1)
"Netto’s prose is urgent and bold, particularly in its more carnal moments... fans of the genre will thoroughly enjoy."
"With its plot twists, well-paced action, sweet romance and a cliffhanger ending, Immortal Crowns is an excellent start to a series and I cannot wait to continue the Bellwound/Arnon saga."
Gods and Mortals (#2)
"However, his latest series, The Echoes of Fallen Stars, is a creation that every fantasy lover must have in their collection. This epic weaves a rich tapestry of gods and mortals, sinners and saviors, and is already creating a buzz ahead of the latest installment's release on the 26th of August. Titled "Gods and Mortals," the new book promises to transport readers back to the realm where gods are sinners, and mortals are pawns in a celestial game. "
