FULL REVIEW at The Romance Studio
“Theda Black did an
excellent job of showing how love can blind one to the faults of that loved
one, and Tyler and Will were definitely blind. She did an excellent job of
portraying a man that is barely hanging onto the edge of sanity and how such
profound grief can affect everyone around the person and suck them in to the
downward spiral.”

At romance author Raine
Delight’s blog, author Clare London calls AFTER
ANNA “…a not-comfortable read in some ways because
it deals with bereavement and the complex but passionate relationship between
two men left behind, but I enjoyed the rich, tense, emotional writing very
much.”
"’After Anna’ is told in short,
staccato-like chapters that lend an urgency and intensity to the story that is
reflected in the actions and dialog. The author does an excellent job of
getting into the main characters' psyches and giving them valid reasons for the
way they feel and act.”
“The writing is taut and realistic,
the heat generated between the two men is almost palpable at times…”

Theda
Black gives us a great story in After Anna. It revolves around
love, loss, sorrow and how we overcome it.

“This one took me by surprise at the depth of
emotion explored in this book. There was so much realism it was almost
voyeuristic. With stunning clarity, I was able to visualize all the warmth,
confusion, pain and hope portrayed within these pages.”

BENEATH THE NEON MOON
“It’s not the first time Theda
Black surprised me with her complex characters.”
-independent reviewer Elisa Rolle
FULL REVIEW at Elisa’s LJ
“Zach
is sensitive, resourceful, troubled by traumatic past, somewhat insecure,
brave, likable, and loyal. Mal is brooding, tough, troubled, brave, likable, and
no viewpoint which gives the mystery to what is happening to him as seen by
Zach / the readers.”
“The
story moves fast with mood of horror and suspense.”

“In many aspects this story is saddening,
touching and exceptionally well written. A mix of emotions that will throttle
your mind will assail you. From each moment it’s unpredictable what will happen
next.”

“This
shifter book has to have one of the most unique set ups I've read in a shifter
romance.”
“The
claustrophobic atmosphere, the tension and genuine fearfulness that permeates
the story was gripping and I found it difficult to put the book down. This
contrasted nicely to the awkward and yet sweet way the men get to know each
other and the fierce bond of protectiveness which arises between them.”
-Jenre
FULL REVIEW at Well Read
“The characters carry the story completely and
this is above all about the connection that can form between men in a confusing
and scary situation. Whether the men can use the connection, that chemistry to
change their fate is at the heart of the story.”
“The excellent cover art gives you an idea of
what the story is about but if you’re looking for something slightly creepy,
erotic, and interesting – check this out.”

FULL REVIEW at Three Dollar Bill Reviews
“The author Theda Black explained in her afterword that Beneath the Neon Moon came about from her wanting to pull off
the challenge of writing this pretty fantastical storyline … with “heart.’ And
whataya ya know – in my opinion she actually pulled it off! Somehow, the story did
morph into a believable love story in the end. And she did that by the very
strong characterizations for her main characters Zach and Mal.”

THE VAMPIRE’S BOY
“Very emotional (+2) and filled with torment
over not being able to be together, over possibility of losing each other. Sense of sacrifice, esp. on Jared's part, for the sake of love.”
“WRITING STYLE: beautiful.”

Robot Reviews
“The
best thing about this story is, in an interesting way, Theda managed to make a
coming of age story mix well with that supernatural suspense. She also doesn’t
stray from the use of drugs and alcohol, which many teens get wrapped in with.
The love the two boys have for each other is very real and very intense, being
best friends first and then realizing that there is something more. It’s very
sweet, but also very sad.”
