my coworker's 12 yr old niece recommended this bk to her aunt and she told me about it. the idea behind the story was so interesting, I immediately bought the series.

the writing is excellent. I am a very imaginative person and the writer describes scenes in such a detailed manner, that I could actually see the "movie" rolling in my mind.

this story has a little bit of everything which was a surprise since the lead characters are so young. you will find topics ranging from child abuse, incest, homosexuality, coming of age and falling in love -- all in a mythical setting that could very well be real life...

book one introduces the main characters who are all interesting in their own respect. the heroin is a 16 yr girl discovering unbelieveable things about her mom, herself and her world beyond her wildest imaginations.
