REVIEWS (Excerpted in October)
THE UNRESOLVED -- Editorial Reviews
Historical Novels Review
"This spellbinding young adult novel, based on a true story, overwhelms the reader with the tragic loss of so many lives and the sudden end to the promising life of one young girl. She tells her story without looking through rose-colored glasses and confronts the truths even when they hurt. Mallory will haunt you, just as she does those she leaves behind."

Hot Picks, Starred Reviews
Library Thing; Ranking: * * * *
"I picked this one up because I love history and I love ghost stories, and this is both. I admit, I was also curious to see if (Sandom) could pull off what Katharine Weber couldn't in Triangle -- successfully combining authentic NYC history with a story that appeals to teens. I think (Sandom) has succeeded admirably here."
BookLoons Reviews, November, 2006
"...tells the tale from an interesting perspective. (The) writing is fresh and vivid...The Unresolved is a tale of love, corruption, and revenge - which in the end is always a good combination."
RESURRECTION MEN -- Reader Reviews
Colleen Mondor @ Chasing Ray, November 26, 2006
RESURRECTION MEN: It's London in the 1830s and children are dying because "fresh subjects" are worth good money. "In this dark underworld, Victor must uncover the identity of the ghoulish murderer who is at the heart of London's furtive trade in human corpses." Creepy and historical - I'm looking forward to it.
