Reviews
- "Wow! ADRIENNE is an exquisite example of world building, and D. Renee Bagby kept this reader on the edge of her seat. All of the characters are complete, and I could hear the dialogue and feel the tension. The writing is superb, the action is almost non-stop and brings to reality so many lovely ideas about magick and transportation. I was biting my nails in reaction to all the perils, betrayals, danger, treachery, hope and joy that are such integral parts of this splendid romance. Get it, read it, keep it."
