In Praise of Changeling


In a word: AWESOME! Karen Dales is a gifted writer who paints a vivid landscape and draws you into the
world of The Chosen. Karen delivers an intricately woven plot that is never boring or predictable and always
has you turning the page for more. Grab a copy of CHANGELING: PRELUDE TO THE CHOSEN CHRONICLES
...you will not be disappointed. - Kyle Hannah, Author of Time Assassins

“Okay, so yeah the novel is well written but how many well written books are there out there? This book stands out because it takes fantasy
and story telling to a whole new level. Changeling is fascinating and unique from start to stop.
Not just the same old story being rehashed and rewritten but a story that stands alone
and keeps you thinking about it long after you've finished reading it. As a reader what more could you ask for?”

vampires but crave something out of the ordinary." - Open Book Society    

"...you never know which direction it will take... I can say that the conclusion of Angel of Death left me
with my mouth hanging open and waiting impatiently for the next chapter in this exciting world.
I highly recommend Angel of Death: Book One of the Chosen if you enjoy a fast paced adventure with all the
twist and turns of a road map!" (5 Stars) - Sizzling Hot Books

“...one of the best stories by a new and upcoming writer that I have read...This tale was
wonderfully written. Every character has a complete and utterly unique personality ...
The Angel of Death will make you smile, and it will cause your heart to break. Very few stories are
the equal to this tale. When you read this story, have a box of tissues handy. Ms. Dales I am
trying to await the next installment patiently, and it is not working out so well.” (5 out of 5)
