I just finished a book called Princess of the Midnight Ball.
The back reads:
Princess Rose is the eldest of twelve sisters condemned to dance each night for the wicked King Under Stone in his palace deep within the earth. It is a curse that has haunted the girls since their birth- and only death will set them free.
Then Rose meets Galen, a young soldier-turned-gardener with an eye for adventure and a resolve that matches her own, and freedom suddenly begins to seem a little less impossible. To defeat the king and his dark court, they will need one invisibility cloak, a black wool chain knit with enchanted silver needles, and that most critical ingredient of all-true love.
It started out good and all, but then it started to get a little too full of magic. I love fantasy stories, but this book crossed the line for me in the magic department. So yeah, it was a good story line but too much magic and talk of witches.
The next book I'm going to read is called Freckles and I know this is a good book so I will be writing a review on it when I'm done. (don't read very fast, it might be a while.)

Bummer about the book being a letdown. That has happened to me so much with books I've read lately.
Let us (your readers) know how Freckles is. ☺
Cool, I'll check that book out. Maybe I'll be able to stomach all the magic. Maybe not...
Nikki,
I know.
Freckles is such a good book. I can't wait to post about it.
Ruth,
yeah, for me it was too much, but the book wasn't bad or anything.
Oh, and I LOVE your new haircut, Cloe!
