Profile of Jeri Smith-Ready

[A]n absolutely delightful coming-of-age novel...There's an abundance of riches in this book, and Smith-Ready handles them all so well. The cultures and customs are well thought out and rendered, the connections with the spirit guides are wonderfully magical and filled with Mystery, and the complicated relationships of the tribes people are handled with a realistic flare. --Charles de Lint

The first installment in this magical series is an emotional, engaging, and appealing fantasy. Smith-Ready is a born storyteller.

Jeri Smith-Ready's lyrical prose brings to life unforgettable characters and a poignant story that haunted me long after I finished the novel. She has a remarkable gift for making the reader care about her world and its people. Highly recommended.

[A]ny fantasy fan who enjoys their novels strongly influenced by mythology and folklore will enjoy this genre-blending hybrid, which is so much more than just another romantic fantasy. The allegorical use of paganism and animism in particular underscores all-too-timely themes like religious prejudice, intolerance, environmentalism, etc...Smith-Ready's Eyes of Crow is just the first installment in what could be an entertaining and profoundly moving series. Jean M. Auel meets Mercedes Lackey. --Paul Goat Allen

Smith-Readys musical references are spot on, as is her take on corporate radios creeping airwave hegemony. Add in the irrepressible Ciara, who grew up in a family of grifters, and the results rock.

Jeri Smith-Ready's unique voice, magic setting, and setting all contribute to why I enjoy her tales of the Aspect of Crow. She is very successful at maintaining multiple POV charactes of both genders with unique characteristicsVoice of Crow is both a welcome addition to the Aspect series, and a fine novel on its own, if one hasn't read Eyes of Crow yet. --MaryElizabeth Hart

VOICE OF CROW is a powerful second novel in a trilogy that has solidified Jeri Smith-Ready as a true force in the genre. Her powerful tale of magic and heroism is both poignant and unforgettable.

Jeri Smith-Ready has created a set of strikingly original, fascinating characters, rich with as much style and rhythm as the music her vampires love. Lyrical and uncompromising, WICKED GAME is a winner I'll be reading again.
