        Review Excerpts For "With Black & White Comes The Grey—Book 1":

"...This story is character and plot driven with plenty of atmosphere and dark tones to aid in those chills as they run down your spine. Enmeshed with the pulse-racing action is also moments of subtle romance, not too much to steer away your attention, but enough to warrant a few tender scenes.

Part romance, part suspense, With Black and White Comes the Grey gives a fresh facelift to the tired formula of horror. Each page unfolds another element the characters must face as they slip into a hauntingly beautiful supernatural chaos. The most unrelenting part of it all is that you have to wait for the sequel. You can rest assured; I'll be picking up a copy and delving back into the creative mind of author Giovanna Lagana. Think you can handle her darkness?"

All this reviewer can say is WOW! Ms. Lagana will literally keep the reader enthralled and at the edge of their seats as they read the first in this magnificent series. Each page will deliver another twist and turn that will have the reader either cringing in horror or gasping as they cheer on Jonathon. She writes with much flair and drama that ensnares the reader and keeps them glued to the pages. Each page is like a new painting and will kept this reviewer totally captivated. Her characters are multidimensional and literally step off the page to tell their story and the coming battle. The main characters, Miriam and Jonathon are very complex and also innocent of the powers they hold inside. True evil finds them but in the coming battle, much is lost as well as gained for this family. They literally worm their way into the reader’s heart and you will laugh, cry and be amazed at the power of their emotions as you get drawn into the story. The evil in this story literally made this reviewer’s skin crawl as Black and White continues. It was a testament at how powerful this author is in her writing. This is truly one of the best horror/suspense novels around and as the last page was read, this reviewer wanted to know what happens next in this mesmerizing story and characters.

With Black and White Comes the Grey is one of the best books around and if you truly like a suspenseful story with hints of horror in them, then this is truly the book for you. Ms. Lagana is a masterful storyteller that will tear the reader’s heart out and deliver it on a silver platter! All this reviewer can say is don’t read it in the dark! It literally gave this reader goose bumps! It is a story that will stay on with you after it’s all done! Run to grab this exceptional story and be prepared to be amazed and scared by Black and White!

"...Wow! This one grabs you and does not let loose until the dramatic climax, which left me with my jaw hanging in awe! Following a string of romances and ‘happy ever afters’, I was looking for something different… boy did this one ever deliver! This is not a pretty tale of love and happiness. It is the story of the endless struggle between good and evil, and the chosen ones who carry out the battle while the future of mankind hangs in the balance. It is also a story of love and the power it's force can create in life. This tale made me tense and nervous, at times even had me biting my nails in anticipation of what was to come. In other words everything you want in a good horror tale…this story delivers! I will be anxiously awaiting future tales from this talented new author!"

"...With Black and White Comes the Grey is a tender,chilling tale of unwitting betrayal, deception, and romance that ends with a sinister air.  I definitely was not expecting the finale Ms. Lagana dishes out.  I have no doubt her follow-up novel to WBWCG will surpass its predecessor in drama, high tension, and fast-paced suspense."

Louise Bohmer, Impromptu Reviews

"...In this novel, Giovanna Lagana weaves an intriguing tale of terror, suspense and romance as she follows the lives of Miriam and Jonathan James as they struggle in an epic battle between good and evil. The detailed and poetic descriptions, in-depth psychological characterization, and vivid dream sequences, as well as a satisfying romance, will keep you up reading this book all night."

"...Giovanna Lagana has written a tale of age-old conflict and the struggle between good and evil. A strong heroine, a hero with a long-kept secret, and a force that cannot be contained all come together in a maelstrom of violence over the existence of mankind. This is a fast-paced story that fans of the horror genre will appreciate and love. The ending dangles the next book in front of you like an enticing carrot..."
