Review of Ali’s Portal
“Ali’s Portal” is very different from the usual fare of exciting suspense novels by Saylor Storm. Instead, readers are treated to a superb character-driven narrative of a life that is not everything it seems. Ali has a sales job where she frequently conducts business in China. As such she frequently flies out an air terminal waiting for connecting flights. As “Ali’s Portal” opens she waits in a bar at an airport where she begins a friendship with a bartender who makes a special drink that enlightens her to gazing into her world to come to a surprising conclusion. “Ali’s Portal” is filled with masterful writing, stimulating characters, and motivating conflicts to a final satisfying finale sure to please any reader.
