[The Secrets of Life and Death]is a fine addition to the urban fantasy genre and marks Alexander as an author to watch * The Independent on Sunday *
an enjoyable read ... Plenty of tension and some chilling moments kept me going until the very end * crimereview.co.uk *
reminiscent of the masterly Stephen Lloyd Jones * thebookbag.co.uk *
Alexander has crafted a gripping page-turner successfully blending history and fiction with magic and sorcery; truly a wonderfully and uniquely inspired novel. * Historical Novel Society *
