- Eyes of Crow
| [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.

- Eyes of Crow
| [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.

- Wicked Game
| Smith-Ready’s musical references are spot on, as is her take on corporate radio’s creeping airwave hegemony. Add in the irrepressible Ciara, who grew up in a family of grifters, and the results rock.

- Voice of Crow
| 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 characteristics…Voice 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.

| 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.
