I really loved the characters and the plot! First five star read of the year for me. I loved the fairytale aspect of the plot and the main characters.

This was a dual-timeline historical novel set in present day and WWII, but a little different from most in that the primary character is the same throughout. Present day Colette is in her 80s, but still an active jewel thief. 1940s Colette was a child, but a jewel thief even then. But she's a jewel thief with a twist--she only still from the evil, and uses the proceeds to fund positive things. An engaging story with twists and turns, centering around a two-piece bracelet.

I think that I was way too excited to read this and that my expectations were too high. I liked the choose your own concept but I didn’t like Marsh at all.

The story kept me glued to this book. Koontz’s writing is very prosaic and richly descriptive. My first read of this author.

Another typical Gabriel Allon book. This one was very long though. There is a lot of information about the Temple Mount and history that makes you wonder how much is true.

This was the best book! I wanted to keep reading it and was sad it was over. My favorite part was probably when Daisys friend wished to be a grown up, at the wishing well, and she turned into a grown up but she learned she didn’t like being a grown up and she turned small again at the end of the book. She wanted to be a kid. Matilda - age 7

I like how she used old things to make something new

I think it had too many different points of view and I didn’t enjoy the back and forth timelines but overall it was a decent story. I really liked reading from the state trooper’s point of view the most.

Jeanne Birdsall is a very talented writer in my opinion I just can’t stop reading. She made this book so interesting I think everyone should read it girls boys and even grown ups and it is an absolute masterpiece of awesomeness

I read this one myself even though it was hard!
