13 Treasures


Quick Plot: Tanya is tormented by fairies that only she can see. They've been torturing her for her entire life-- seemingly only because she's the only one who can see them. She's plagued by questions about why her, what's so special, how can she make them go away. At her wits end, and not understanding that her daughter has a second sight, her mother sends Tanya away to live with her grandmother. This leads only to more problems with the numerous fairies about-- and questions, whose answers could change Tanya's life forever.
Bravo Ms. Harrison, you have created a fantasy realm which is near to tangible. The character Tanya is well evolved and believable. The reader is drawn through into her realm as she deals first with the horror that is her life and then the horrors which come with the answers to her questions. The fear of the character is palpable, as is the anticipation of what is to come. There are not a jumble of loose ends in this book-- just one. I enjoyed reading this novel and look forward to the sequel...13 Curses???
