Praise for the Moon Mountain Trilogy
“Isle of Stars is written with guile and confidence, effortlessly emitting wit, charm and dramatic tension from the start. Its biting melodrama and supernatural charm literally seeps through its pages in a passionately written swarm of self-discovery and sacrifice.”
“This story will blow you away…
“Exceptional,” “thrilling,” “adrenaline-charged,” and “absorbing” would all be excellent words to describe Isle of Stars. It ends on a temptingly strong cliff-hanger, and we can’t wait to read the third masterpiece in this trilogy!”
“Porto skillfully defies conventional good vs. evil tropes by imbuing the invaders with shades of gray, and the subconscious realm and surrealist liminal spaces through which Morgan journeys are, as the title suggests, inventive and evocative.
At its core, this inward-looking thriller is a journey of hope and self-discovery, psyche and sacrifice, a story concerned with what it’s worth risking everything to save. (A character declares, “One word: humanity.”) The characters make clever use of Porto’s worldbuilding, and the ending satisfies, while pointing to revelations to come.”
“Intense and dark; a riveting psychological fantasy… Porto’s second installment in the Moon Mountain series plunges readers into the murky depths of memory, identity, and self-determination.”
“The plot rolls out slowly and impressively . . . But expectations continue to be subverted up to the story’s sequel-setting climax, which is tinged with elements of romance, fantasy and even SF.”
“Moon Mountain is in a word, “outstanding.” Jess Porto is an excellent writer with incredible talent for original and enthralling storytelling, creating unbelievable settings and scenes, amazing characters and a plot that is unlike any other. She not only has stellar ideas but executes them to near perfection. Moon Mountain is an extremely enthralling mystery thriller—it’s vying for the best mystery thriller fiction book of 2023.”
“A smart, suspenseful tale with a whisper of the supernatural…
Porto’s engrossing novel about a young woman trying to solve the mystery of a brutal murder contains hefty doses of tension, suspense, unforeseen dangers, and genuine scares.”
