The Crystal Skull: Paranormal Fiction (Sentinel 10, the novels Book 2) Kindle Edition
Kirkus Reviews: An entertaining blend of murder mystery, romance, and the paranormal.
Chanticleer Reviews: “Betrayal and resurrecting a dead fiancé? One woman does that and more in Valenti's new fab psychic thriller. A lot of action and plenty of fun. Highly recommended!”
Intensely psychic Sentinel 10 (Amanda Griffith) is still picking up the pieces of her heart after the death of her first love, Alain. But as she struggles to build a new life with James, an unknown enemy begins killing Sentinels the world over. Only a Sentinel 10 has the power to stop him.
On a journey from the Mexican cenotes to the skyscrapers of New York, Amanda must tap into her inner strength to defeat the astonishingly powerful enemy-or die trying. But will her relationship with James survive this mess? And what about the mysterious white cat that keeps appearing everywhere, a heartbreaking reminder of her premonition dream when Alain died... Could Alain still be alive?
Packed with high-stakes excitement, unforgettable action sequences, and plenty of romantic tension, The Crystal Skull continues the critically acclaimed (Kirkus, The US Review of Books) Edge of Destiny in a riveting new adventure that will leave readers craving more.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021This was my first read from Daniela Valenti, and now I look forward to reading her other books. The book was well written and fun to read. The characters were well manufactured and created an engrossing story. I didn't feel that I'd missed much having not read the previous book, but I will be going back to read it because I'd like to know more about the growth of Amanda as a character. This was both adventurous and romantic in its prose, and I'd highly recommend for readers looking for something different.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2021As opposed to The Diamond Rose, Amanda takes an empowered stand! This sequel weaves reminders of past events into its narrative in a natural and informative way.
Exciting and illustrative fight scenes, though the final battle is quick in comparison to the buildup to it, and the ultimate sources of the Sentinels’ powers remains unknown.
Both books have red herrings and surprises, and hints at future excitement in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023The story was fine but I struggled through this book. The main character just talks about how beautiful she is and how hardworking she is. Me, me, me. I'm great! Then she's thrust all of a sudden into these life altering events but never changes, never learns, is boring throughout the whole story because she's already the pinnacle of perfection. I won't be reading any more from this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2021I loved The Diamond Rose and was so excited to read this continuation of the story of the Sentinels. Amanda, the most powerful Sentinel 10 returns to save the less powerful Sentinels from being totally eradicated by a rouge Committee member absorbing their power to become more powerful. Author Valenti has such an amazing talent for describing supernatural events—so vivid and powerful. I don’t want to say more because I don’t want to give the story away but if you love stories that beautifully incorporate romance and passionate with the paranormal, The Crystal Skull and The Diamond Rose will not disappoint! Highly recommend. I can’t wait till the next book in the series comes out.

'The Crystal Skull' by Daniela Valenti is the second book in the Sentinel series. The story revolves around the protagonist Amanda, a sentinal 10 with great psychic powers who is dealing with grief and pain due to the loss of her soulmate Alain. But as she struggles to build a new life with her current boyfriend, James who is always there to support her, she often see a cat which reminds her of Alain but something is mysterious about this cat. On the other hand sentiel 3 and 4 are being killed across the world.
What's the mystery behind the cat?
Who is killing Sentinels?
To know you have to read the book.
The author has narrated the story so well. It has the elements of thrill, mystery, murder, actions, adventure, romance and paranormal activities. The description of scenes and places are done so amazingly that it almost seems like watching a movie. Characters are well developed and described by the author. I liked the character of Amanda - fierce and powerful yet emotional which we all can relate to. The writing style of the author is smooth and flowing. Language used is simple and lucid. Twists and turns in the story has the power to keep the readers hooked till the end. The flow of the book is well paced.
In nutshell, an entertaining read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here, the author challenges her hero to dig deep for answers and confidence.
She was the thing that the things that went bump in the night were powerless against. A brilliant, beautiful, self-determined female heads the cast of characters in this second book of the series. This story addresses the notions of betrayal, chauvinism, settling because "it's time", versus true love, and standing alone in the face of terrible odds. Amanda Griffith is slowly turning into a hero, instead of an apprentice. Here, the author challenges her hero to dig deep for answers and confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Sentinel Sequel
The Crystal Skull is the second book in the Sentinel 10 series and it is a full package of entertainment, action, thrill, romance and drama.
Amanda, a Sentinel 10 with intense psychic powers, is trying to overcome her grief of losing her love, Alain and is trying to start a new life with her fiance James when an unknown enemy is threatening the Sentinel community. Will Amanda be able to stop it?
From internal conflict to external dangers, our protagonist faces it all with courage and swag, Amanda is one of the most well written female protagonists, she is inspiring not only for her powers but also for being so vulnerable and humane.
The Crystal Skull has a rich cast of characters, all of which are well developed but the best thing about this novel is the plot and the story, which is full of thrill with romance and drama sprinkled here and there making it absolutely delicious for a reader's taste buds. A great fantasy - action book, enjoyable from first page to the last!

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice read
The book's narrative revolves around a strong and powerful woman who despite having emotional heartbreak will have to gather a lot of strength to fight the enemies and save all her fellow sentinels. Why is she chosen to become the 10th sentinel? Is there a specific reason behind this? Read this book to find out.
This book has a mind-blowing storyline and the narration is also on point. I wasn't impressed much by the writing style and I think it could have been better. The author has created a plot that contains many elements such as thrill, mystery, action and many more and she has been able to pull this off. The storyline has the potential to be adapted into a movie. It has a gripping narrative and is highly recommended.
