About the book:
A face without a nose watches Bryanna from a window in an Edinburgh townhouse, and a hairy hand waves. A Brownie! She blinks and shakes her head. Impossible. They only exist in books. But the Brownie doesn't remain the only legendary creature she meets on her way home. Maybe I'm hallucinating, she thinks, and decides to talk to her dad. However, he gets kidnapped by a woman whose scent seems surprisingly familiar to Bryanna. Without hesitation, she follows them and lands smack dab in the middle of the adventure of her life. The world she faces now is murderously dangerous. And if she survives the journey, she seems doomed to kill her father for his secret.

The review --
This book pulled me in
at the very beginning and held me captive until the very end. I loved it and
couldn't stop reading once I started. A perfect fantasy book, full of Scottish
mythology. There were so many creatures and monsters that I was introduced to. The
best fantasy book I have read in a really long time...definitely a favorite
without a doubt. I loved the development of the characters along the way. It
was as if I was right there with the two girls, following them along their
journey. The ending was perfect
and I was so happy to see it end the way it did. You need to read this book if you are a lover
of the fantasy genre. You will not be
disappointed.
