Praise for Shadowbook
[Sarah is] a very talented writer, one of my favorite authors on [Quotev], who has inspired me to keep writing with her works. Seriously, her stories are well written and captivating. Her story, Shadowbook, displays the Jungian Shadow Archetype in all her characters, making it one of the few well-developed Shadow stories I've seen. And trust me on this, I've been reading online stories for a good 12 years now."
