Customer Reviews

A very good first book from a new author

The Mask of Tamirella is a post apocalyptic sci-fi novel that is targeted for teens, but will appeal to readers of any age. I was quickly pulled into Cait's world, and her adventures in archeology. The world is vividly drawn, and the readers are genuine. The book is a quick read, and you won't be disappointed. I hope that the author will return to this world one day with another book.

The Mask of Tamirella

A thoroughly enjoyable mystery. Good reading for teens as well as adults. Wonderful descriptions and exciting adventure. I highly recommend this book!

Fast-paced adventure

This is foremost a fun, fast read! The main character, a sixteen year old girl, faces consequences for an artifact she stole from another Sanction, which is like a village. She and her Aunt, among others from her Sanction, are sent on a dangerous archeological dig. In a post-apocalyptic world, she and her group face mutants, toxic waste and sickness as they travel to the dig site. Once there, she is confronted by more sickness, jealousy and teen hormones in her search for a prized artifact. The characters are well-drawn, the plot is full of twists, turns and a few surprises. A very satisfying read!

Coming of age in a post-apocalyptic world

Caitlanna Mullen is on a mission. She is part of an archeological team on a dig in a dangerous, possibly toxic territory inhabited by mutants. She is obsessed with finding pre-destruction treasures that eluded her late father, whose drive and dedication she has inherited. Too young to be a "finder" herself, Cait must be content with the lesser status of "striker," a disadvantage that rarely stops her from jumping headlong into danger and adventure. But thanks to a wise, wonderful aunt, she begins to learn to think first, to control her impulses, and to act only with the safety and well-being of others in mind. Secrets eventually revealed to young Cait are not what she anticipated, and the girl begins to suspect that no world is exactly what it seems to be. An exciting journey, a great read!
