Annerle Barnard liked Etrecia van der Merwe's review of Donkerster (Afrikaans Edition): "Die voorblad van die boek het my laat dink aan 'n outydse poskaart en posseëls met die fokus wat gevorm word deur die jaggewere wat 'n kruis vorm in die middel van die blad. Hierdie kruis is ook vir my simbolies as 'n teken van "NEE!” of “DIT IS NIE " Read more of this review »

Annerle Barnard liked Kelly Thomas's review of Donkerster (Afrikaans Edition): "“Hierdie boek het my behoorlik laat deurlees tot diep in die nag.

Ek sal dit vir enige tiener aanbeveel – en self" Read more of this review »

Annerle Barnard liked Sean Goode's review of Donkerster (Afrikaans Edition): "Excellent. A pity that the book is available in Afrikaans only.

It would appeal to fans of Karen McManus, Courtney Summers, and Suzanne " Read more of this review »
