"I really enjoyed this
book. This would be a good book for boys and girls to read, but I think
the boys would really like this book. The author, Casey Sean Harmon, has
a very good imagination and is also artistic with his words. I can't
wait for the next book in the series."

"My
friend and former battle buddy wrote this amazing book. My son and I
have read only one chapter and let me tell you I hate reading books and
when I sat down and read the first chapter to my son we both didn't want
to stop but I had to due to a busy day ahead of us and if I didn't stop
then we would have never stopped!"

through out the book. I was hooked from the first chapter, now I can't

for kids!"

"Upon
starting this book I found it to be a magical adventure of bravery,

"Everafter" makes Reader's Favorite 5 star review!
I would like to thank Mina Rivera from Reader's Favorite for reviewing my upcoming book, "The Everafter Chronicles: Reign of the Night Creatures." This is her review:
Casey Sean Harmon's "The Everafter Chronicles: Reign of the Night Creatures" has the feel of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia with the story revolving around three siblings and their dog who were pulled to another world and immersed in a magical adventure. It is a world where the fight between good and evil is ever present; a world called 'Everafter' where evil can be defeated by the presence of light. But how can evil be fought when, at night, the moon is nowhere to be found? Can these children save 'Everafter'?
I love Harmon's writing style. It is simple, concise, and organized. The way he develops his story and his characters is seamless. I know that if I have kids, this book will be one of those that I'd read over and over again, simply because Casey Sean Harmon has been able to effectively teach courage, compassion, generosity, trust, and most especially love. The way Harmon ended 'Reign of the Night Creatures' reminds the reader to value not just friends, but also family. Casey Sean Harmon is also able to teach the reader the value of community and teamwork; that we are not alone in solving the problems of the world and that the people we meet are instrumental in our success.
