Ruins

"Fast paced, surprising, and madly compelling."; Rosie Fletcher, Total Film; "A great, imaginative, gripping read..."; Nev Pierce, Editor-at-Large, Empire; "Joshua Winning could well be on to a winner with this unsettling but entertaining icebreaker; hopefully Nicholas and this trilogy will mature nicely together."; Claire Nicholls, SciFiNow Magazine; "Don't think you've read this before in the Harry Potter books, Sentinel sets a darker, grittier tone. The action is fast and violent, the monsters, including a seductive vampiress, are memorable."; John Wyatt, The Sun; "Written poetically, with carefully-drawn characters, this is an extremely promising YA debut by a young author."; Kate Whiting, Press Association; "Winning's eminently readable style, coupled with some strong characters and a pace that nicely rounds out the book make this a cut above the vast majority of the young-adult fiction market that tries the same approach."; Daniel Benson, HorrorTalk; "One for fans of Terry Pratchett, Edgar Allan Poe and Tolkien. Joshua Winning's Sentinel has everything fantasy readers could want: action, mystery, gore, magic and an orphan with wacky relatives."; Lizzy Fry, Culture Fly; "Adventure, twists, demons and mystery abound in this spellbinding tale of a hidden earthly underworld."; David Estes, author of The Moon Dwellers; "Sentinel first hooks you with a cadre of compelling and appealing characters, then before you know it, you're trapped in a nightmare of intangible forces that become more and more threatening, more and more clever, more and more inescapable. You definitely reach a point where you can't put the book down."; D.A. Metrov, author of Falcon Lord; "A well-crafted, sharply honed novel that creeps into your subconscious, settling deep before springing a few surprises upon the unsuspecting reader. You won't want to put it down, and you probably don't want to read it on your own in an empty house!"; Sarah McMullan, The 13th Floor
