Ratings and reviews

Really well done. As a long-time June's Journey player, I had reservations about this new way of viewing June and her universe. I shouldn't have worried. The author obviously took the time to research the game, and the book reflected that. I really hope there are more of these books by this author. It's a great way to improve the game's richness.

I'm an avid reader of murder mysteries and also a June's Journey game player. This book spoke to both of my past times. Definitely recommend to June's Journey players and mystery lovers!

it was very enjoyable
