Give me just a moment to sit here and absorb all that I just read. I'm blindsided by Crosswalker. Trust me, I've been a Wilkey fan for some time. I've read all his books. I know how amazing his work is. But nothing prepared me for the strength Crosswalker has.
You're met by our three favorites: Becket, Cymbaline, and of course, Edgar. This time around, Wilkey took the Ecto to a whole new level. The intensity in the feelings, the desolate scenery, the dispare and heartache are so vivid in this book. You have a hard time remembering reality from fiction...or should I say, Ecto?

Only, he takes them and makes them Edgar's. And with that, every step of Edgar's journey, you feel it right in your heart and your soul. The rest of the intense, on-the-edge-of-your-seat story, is all added gravy! A must read for teens and adults alike! Intense, fast-paced, heart-pounding action, awaits you from page 1!
The two books in this series were great. From the first chapter, I was hooked and couldnt wait to see what happened next. It is well written with just enough detail to let your imagination work like it should. I would have given five stars, but there are some grammatical errors that need to be looked over. I would still recommend this book because it was easy enough for me to fix the errors in my mind as I read along.
