I remember this book was floating around my house when I was growing up, and my sister loved it, however I read this book when I was in some what of a reading slump. I liked it, I just didn't love it. I'm curious about the rest of the series and what lies in store for Gemma and her friends and wha...

I don't think it's possible for me to do this book justice in a review, but I'll try anyway.This is such a wonderfully enthralling book. I have read this book either 3 or 4 times now, and I never tire of the story. It almost immediately sucks me in, painting vivid pictures of the scenes in my imagin...

High drama, big magicks, awesome girls, and scary evil. Recommende...

This is not a deep and meaningful book; this is just silly and entertaining reading.This is the story of Gemm...
I heard a lot of great things about this book so I saw it at the shop and thought I'd give it a try. IT WAS AWESOME. i liked that it took place in India at the beginning and that's something you don't really see in a lot of books. The main reason i got this book is because i absolutely adore the Vic...
My review is on the audio version of this book. It is amazing what one person can do to there voice to make it sound like so many different people--reader Josephine Bailey does an excellent job. The story keeps a thrilling pace, and the characters dive into dark places and find different aspects of ...
I had heard mixed stories about this one. But the Victorian setting kind of lured me into reading it. It wasn't to bad, it wasn't really great or beautiful. The characters felt cliché, like the kind of friends that only stick together in books/films. There was not really that much character develo...
