Review

A rollercoaster ride - Reader Views

Thorough studies, validation of supposition, and a keen eye turn out to be critical for this highly adrenalizing mission. Readers are bound to quickly adopt an active participant status early in the read, processing mystery clues, solving puzzles, and anticipating outcomes. The author has beautifully incorporated the disguise and deception concepts to build her story, as well as to trick the reader into believing some happenings to be true. Readers will appreciate the thrill and mysteriousness of the storyline where the depth and complexity of the characters are as compelling and important as the plot.

"AnaRose and the Templar's Quest" has been structured as a rollercoaster ride that forces one to vicariously experience a series of emotions. The author skillfully and repeatedly gives her audience moments of respite and then throws them back into the action. Altogether, the read is very captivating, and the reader's whole concentration is drawn in with every new page!

A fun read at novella speed - Readers' Favorite

In AnaRose and the Templar's Quest, Mary Ann Bernal presents an entertaining story featuring an impressive protagonist. AnaRose's personality, talents, and unique background as the child of renowned parents are skillfully revealed. The narrative is highly descriptive, filled with mystery and surprise, and moves at a good pace. The plot presents twists and turns that engage the reader as the clues are discovered. Eager and observant, Jo proves especially helpful in finding them. I especially liked AnaRose's personal courage and her desire for adventure even when encountering danger. The ending leaves room for a sequel, and I hope one is in the works.

    The book's subject matter interested me. The story was indeed a quest about the search for Knights Templar relics. The story held my interest while moving from the US to France. The hunt continued through various Templar locations, with others chasing An arose and her team.
