“I had the best time reading this story…Karen has populated When Souls Tear with a varied cast of characters…I love that at the core of this book is the importance of family.

When Souls Tear by Karen Ginnane is a fast-paced finale to the Time Catchers duology, and one which I thoroughly enjoyed! Anyone who wants a fun, thrilling journey in Victorian London and the excitement of another world? Go buy this book and its predecessor! I promise it will *not* disappoint.”

“What a book this was! I read half of it in one sitting and wanted to find out what happened. I loved what it did with stepping into other worlds, and the interlinking of every character – as they each have their place in the story. This is one of those books that gets under your skin and captures the imagination.

This is a great book for readers aged ten and older.”
