“The Spirit Child seems a mystical work, flavored with Alaskan frontierism, Native American mysticism, and a lot of human interest…I want to know these people. It is a healing piece of work, far beyond just a good read.” – A. Ross
I’ve read all of Ms Holt books and find all of them an excellent read. The Spirit Child did not disappoint my expectation, in fact it exceeded my view of Ms Holt as a writer. There are some writers who only write well on romance, mysteries or comedy, but after reading The Spirit Child, Ms Holt ranks in the versatile writer category. Ms Holt has the skills to write all types of genres and tells the stories really well. The editing on the book is great, not a single typo. Job superbly well done on this area. If you like the movie Narnia, then you’ll definitely want to read this book.” -E.T.C. on Amazon
“First off, my favorite genre of books is Fantasy. That being said, in my opinion Alison can hold her head up proudly with her contribution. I loved this book! I loved the characters and how the story unfolded. Miss Holt has a way of keeping the readers attention with every page. I thoroughly enjoyed this first volume to her new series and can’t wait for the second one to be available. I don’t want to give any of the story away but if you love Fantasy books, this one is well worth your time. Thank you Alison for yet another great book!” -Sher on Amazon
“Did I miss it? Where was the lesbian stuff in this story? I was shocked to read the reviews and see that some folks were upset about the “lesbian ” part. Any way ,I loved this story.The idea of spirit guides and a rebellious child who will be able to save everyone,if she survives,2 capable women,no 3,I forgot Nashotah are a pleasure to read about. Now we have to wait for the next book. Since I’ve enjoyed reading all of Alison Holts books,I’m going to wait patiently for each new addition. Thanks,Pat” rose789bud “rihbones” on Amazon

“I read this book in three VERY late nights. Ms. Holt is an excellent storyteller whose works span genres. This is her first novel in the Fantasy realm and is spot-on. The writing is crisp, clean, and to the point.Set in a world similar to the Middle Ages, there is a strong influence of Native American tribal culture and spiritualism implicit throughout. The danger is real and immediate. The humanity is three-dimensional, as is the personal growth of the main characters. The personal pain and torment of the both the Duchess and the Spirit Child has depth, from which they have the opportunity to grow. Spirit Guides are personal, both spiritual and real. They are woven in ways that are not necessarily obvious. Both Human and Spirit Guide have to grow and learn from each other. They each must protect and be protected. From that, the story grows.I highly recommend this book. I am very glad that this is only Book One. There is so much story to tell. I cannot wait for the next book!” -BrooklynBoy1314 on Barnes and Noble
