Noteworthy Reviews:

"Stunning!"
- Wattpad user, @Mickey_Fable

"This is one of the best stories I've read on this website. This is stunning. You've built a wonderfully turbulent, passionate, and emotionally investing romance without taking shortcuts or writing smut."
- FanFiction.net user, @randomreader

"Everything just slides so smoothly. You literally watch Sherlock develop into something new: a sentimental man. Now that is what I call good writing."
- Guest user on Fanfiction.net

"It's beautiful and so vivid; I can feel the characters' emotions. This is so suspenseful, I'm completely swept up."
- Guest user on Fanfiction.net

"Everyone is in character, there is a plot, and the romance feels genuine and characteristic of the pair. But [romance] isn't the entire story. There is more going on around them which feels real."
- Guest user on Fanfiction.net

"Completely riveting. The way you portray Irene Adler [is] amazing."
- Wattpad User @SubaDev

"Out of all the Adlock books I've read, THIS ONE is the very best."

"How are you dealing with your Philophobia?" Sherlock asked, completely ignoring John, who looked more confused as ever. "You haven't forgotten about that, have you?" Minerva smiled at him. Nine years ago she had met him and already knew something was special about him. His deduction skills were something she'd never seen before and yet he still remebered her fear of falling in love. "I'm doing fine, Sherlock. How about you?" Sherlock knew what she was hinting at. He had learned that Minerva was a master at reading peoples emotions within seconds. She must have seen the love in his eyes. He recalled her saying: "A look into someones eyes, for even just a second, is enough for me to know exactly what their feeling." Knowing he would lie to her, Sherlock answered: "I'm doing well." "I'm sorry, but what the bloody hell is going on?" John inquired. A little piece from my story. This Fanfic contains Johnlock, two of my Oc's and lots of mysteries. Be prepaaaaaareeeed. *vibes to Be prepared* Bye
