Reviews

I recommend this book to anyone over the age of 11 because it is a very interesting, action packed book, which involves bombs, fire and shooting. I am certain that adults will also love this adventurous novel. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series sometime soon.

[Skeleton Key] is a brilliant book: it is fun and inspires you to read more and when you’ve started it’s a great book to get into. […] This book was shocking at some parts and it thrilled me with excitement.

I think this book is amazing […] it was like I was glued to the pages and I couldn’t put the book down.
