Preview readers have given the book five stars out of five. Dan Fredrickson said, "For Book Two, Elizabeth Lynn Blackson upped her game. I liked the first book, 'A Girl's Gotta Eat,' quite a lot. I liked this book even more. This book pushes the envelope without my feeling as if it's the first book, only more.

If you liked 'A Girl's Gotta Eat,' then you'll want to read 'Old Black Water' as soon as you can."
