I liked this book. It’s about a teenage girl who through a twist of fate gets involved in hunting for an ancient treasure and fighting off crazy religious cults. Yes, more than one. :) In spirit, it’s a lot like The Da Vinci Code except that it has teenagers for main characters instead of adults. An...

It was a little slow going for me in the beginning, and then I had a hard time paying attention pretty much every time one of Elizabeth's letters was being read.I had this solved a lo...

I find myself in the odd place between knowing this is a great book and not enjoying it as much as I wanted to. There is so much that this book has going for it but there are also quite a few things that brought it down for me.The book starts off rather strong with a great opening line and a seemi...
