13 Curses (13 Treasures Trilogy, 2)

I was introduced to this series when my 9 year old niece chose 13 Treasures to read. We sometimes share books so that I can keep abreast of what young readers are interested in today. I'm glad that I read it first because I'm not sure that it is appropriate for her to read; it's rather frightening and a VERY different (and, I must say, warped) view of fairies. However, I persisted in the reading and, by the middle, I was so interested in the story and the characters that I ordered 13 Curses as soon as I finished. The story in the second book was captivating from the beginning. As I indicate in my title, it draws you in so that I had a hard time putting it down...almost like being drawn into a fairy ring. I'm now looking forward to reading the third book. However, I still think that it's not appropriate for my niece at this age. The story concepts are very dark and some of the descriptions are rather disturbing. While she is an avid, capable reader and has even read some of the Harry Potter books, she has a very vivid imagination and might be disturbed by some of the things that happen. I'd like her to think, right now, of fairies as being pretty and gentle creatures. I'll put the books away and give them to her at a later time.

I've not read the finale, 13 Secrets, but I am sure I won't be let down. I thought how could 13 Curses be as good as 13 Treasures? Sequels, in many cases, are failures. But 13 Curses is equally as important and exciting as 13 Treasures. It is whole new portion of the story, with so many twists and turns. It gives so much information about the mysterious Red, and I really learned to love her in this book. It was a blast reading this book and solving the puzzle with the main characters of the story! I can not wait to read 13 Secrets.***I first purchased 13 Treasures for my, fairy obsessed, daughter. I wanted to read it first to make sure it wasn't too dark or going to make her obsession for fairies turn into a fear. Turns out, it is one of my most favorite stories I've ever read. However, my 3rd grader is going to have to wait a little bit before reading this one.

really this series is for the big of imagination! if you don't have it...don't buy it. for those of us who really want to escape the mundane existance of reality..this is a must read, buy. it really lays it all out for you..the fairie world and all the creatures, good and bad. spiderwick is another good comparison but this one really knocks it out of the park. the 3rd book gives just as good as the beginning. a really good ride. not just for the young, but young at heart!

My 11 year old likes this book series

Very exciting and fun to read. I loved it and got very sad tword the end. Exhilarating and scary for only being 11.

This book is a great sequel to The Thirteen Treasures. The plot is intricately woven and I as the reader never wanted to put the book down. It brings the reader into a whole new world. You feel all the characters emotions yourself, anger, fear, courage, regret, excitment etc. Michelle Harrison is an amazing author and I cant wait to read the final book in the trilogy.

Great book. Daughter loved it .

Love these books. Bought for my granddaughter but I get to read them too

Loved reading this book collection so far, it's so gripping I can't put it down. Both my 9yr old daughter and I are reading the collection seperately and it is perfect for all ages child/adult. Lots of magic, mystery, adventure & suspense. We are looking forward to reading Michelle's other book collection (A Tangle of Spells), she is a great author and I can highly recommend her books.

Loved this book. Loved the characters. I need more books in this series please!

Our eldest daughter devoured this in a few days. Has also been equally ravenous about every other book written by the author

I really enjoyed The Thirteen Treasures so ordered the sequels. This secpnd installment doesn't disappoint - great plot, pace and writing. Looking forward to the next book. Highly recommended.

My daughter (12) loves this author. This would make a great gift, although the book is part of a series, not sure which order sequence this is
