REVIEW:

A Dark title that carries on the magical original tale by Maggie from a new perspective. It has some great twists, the reader is in for a story that keeps them guessing from start to finish and that’s without mentioning a pace so fast and furious that you daren’t put the title down, even for some sleep.

Add to the mix some great double dealing, some wonderful sleight of hand and of course characters that the reader will love to spend time around all round makes this a cracking new release from a much loved author. All round a great story for young and old alike and one that will definitely plant its threads within your brain so much so that you’ll find the wait for the next one really hard.
