[Mapleview 01] • The Death Mask

Young and beautiful Amber had a simple wish. She only wanted to meet her soul mate, fall in love, get married and live happily ever after. Lucky for Amber, she has a special gift in which all things wished for come true. But having this dream come true was tagged with a price. Her husband, Michael, had a death mask made of his late wife, Linsey. It was developed into a statue head, painted to replicate Linsey's coloring and included her long, beautiful hair. Now a mystical relic that grants Michael and his disabled daughter, Paulette, the power of clairvoyance; the thing torments Amber throughout the years of her marriage. But maybe Linsey has good reason. Maybe her family needs to be warned of the dangerous newcomer, Amber.

5 Star Review by: Hayley Sale on Sep. 06, 2011:

"This book is Fantastic!!

I love the way that Tom - as always explains where the idea of the book came from and his thoughts and insights into the character.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Amber - I have avoided anything 'Amber' related on Tom's blog purposely!! So at midnight last night I started to read - well I was awake until 3am reading - I couldn't stop! I woke up this morning and just HAD to carry on reading!

The way Tom has written this just grabbed me straight into the story and I was soon in 'Amber's World' I felt as though I could feel the emotions that the characters were feeling.

The storyline itself had me needing to find out more and had the perfect balance of background information without going off track. It really is a brilliantly written book which I found to be a real page turner

The only complaint I have is that I have to wait for the next installment!!!"
