Can't wait to hear what you think. I want to read this...

“Superb! In my humble opinion, this is Alyson Noel’s best book to date. Ordinary people, every day lives. Not your typical soul searcher/seeker storyline. A page turner from start to finish, leaving you wanting more.

Daire is a jet setting teenager, thanks to her mother, Jennika, being a Hollywood make-up artist. But on her 16th birthday her whole life has been turned upside down, and now her mother and doctors believe her to be delusional, and suggest that she be institutionalized. As Jennika comes to her breaking point, she receives a phone call from Paloma, Daire’s Grandmother, who wants to take her under her wing. Daire is under the impression that she will cure her of these insane visions that haunt her. Her mother is left with no choice, either institutionalize her daughter or send her to her grandmother and hope for the best. So off Daire goes to Enchantment, New Mexico. The journey that Daire is about to embark on is extraordinary. A must read!

I would like to thank Eileen Rothschild at St. Martin’s Griffin and Alyson Noel for this Advance Reader’s Edition (ARE) of this book. I hope receive an ARE of the next book “Echo”, as I’m going to go bonkers waiting for it!”
