Customer Reviews

the gorgons gaze
this book is incredible i read the first of the series in just over a day and this in literally under a day its brillant you just cant put it down, cant wait to get paid so i can buy the latest one

Impossible to put down
The Gorgons Gaze was as good if not better than the first book in this series. I physically could not put it down, so I finished it in two days. I think the characterization is very good and I love the plot. I also like the fact that there are maps so you can see where everything happens. It is a great book and I can't wait for the next one!

The Gorgon's gaze
This book was as good if not better than the first. The story is getting darker with treats for Carrie at home as well as with the sociaty. Again this book is hard to put down, as a reader you get caught up with the story, now awaiting the third and then the final in this magical series.
