Review:
The cover alone made me pick this books up, not to mention it was buy one get one free at Waterstone's. Then I read the back, HELLO..... such a ME book! Sold!
GREAT book! I'm so in love with faerie stories, and this one does not disappoint. A unique story, full of adventure and intrigue. Kept me guessing. I really ate this one up. It's good! I really love Tanya and Fabian. I think they are 2 smart kids and fearless! I can't wait to see what adventures they get into in the sequel The 13 Curses!

O I can't wait to read this. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI have still yet to read a fairie story. I really want to though. Saying that, I always wanted to read some angel stories, recently read one, and was really disappointed. :(
ReplyDeleteSounds like a bit of a mystery, and I love that! Nice review!

Ever since I bought this book on a bloggers recommendation for the school library, it has been on loan. Each time it is returned it is borrowed within an hour. Must have the magic formula.
ReplyDeleteNice review. Sounds very interesting! Love your blog by the way, cute!
