Susan Kearney, USA Today bestselling author:

A fantastic debut -- a fun and sexy romp.

Romantic Times Books Review:

Top Pick! 4 1/2 stars

Allie is the newest heroine on the scene, trading designer clothes for demon slaying. Her first adventure is filled with interesting twists on paranormal creatures, and the story is one of a kind. The action and romance is interlaced with humor, bringing a readability to tough topics. (more...)

Romance Reviews Today:

A Perfect 10

With a smart, sassy, and brave heroine whose life has changed dramatically, SALT AND SILVER makes a clever, action-packed story. Allie prefers work to her previous idle lifestyle, and she enjoys it with cheeky attitude. Ryan makes a strong, dedicated hero who annoys Allie no end. Remarkable secondary characters contribute important aspects to the business of closing the doors to hell. A fast paced and humor-laced story, SALT AND SILVER deserves RRT's Perfect 10. Oh, FYI: salt protects and silver heals. It's all magical stuff too good to miss. (more...)

Darque Reviews:

SALT AND SILVER is a taste of the unexpected. Anna Katherine spins a dark paranormal tale where anything is possible if you’re willing to pay the price. Strong characters, easily visualized scenes, and some sizzling chemistry combine to create a bizarrely believable world. (more...)

Romance Junkies:

Many urban fantasy novels touch on Hell and some give descriptions of it, but few touch on as many dimensions and with as much detail as Anna Katherine in SALT AND SILVER. Anna Katherine, a pseudonym for two women, have written an action-packed debut that moves forward at a steady clip. Tension, romantic and otherwise, grows as the story progresses, and the ending might come as a surprise, one of the things I liked most. [...] Overall, a terrific and unique story. (more...)

The Romance Readers Connection:

SALT AND SILVER is an exciting ride and lots of fun! The sexual tension between Allie and Ryan adds to the mix. This is not your average paranormal read, it is a different experience altogether, so be prepared to throw out your normal ideas of vamps and weres. (more...)

Night Owl Romance:

Ms Katherine has written an entertaining tale of two different people who manage to overcome the odds and fall in love. The way the characters struggled to find their way through the different Hells will hold the reader’s attention. This is a definite keeper. (more...)

Sherri at The Top 5 Reasons I Do What I Do:

This book has a bit of everything -- myth, religious lore, magic, adventure, struggle, and love. The characters engaged me from the start. There's chemistry between Ryan and Allie that keeps them real. The setting descriptions balanced the action without slowing the story down. It was a well paced and fun, first person point of view, ride. I love first person because it really pulls you into the story but I also know it is a challenging way to write and maintain the tension needed for a good story. Anna Katherine (a pseudonym for two friends) manages this well in this debut novel. I look forward to other books by this duo. (more...)
