Tanya has had the curse of second sight for her entire life and is constantly bullied and harassed by fairies wherever she goes. In The 13 Treasures Michelle Harrison has created a dark world full of spiteful and vicious fairies that you really wouldn't want to meet under any circumstances, a world that draws you in and makes you need to know more. I'm so glad that I didn't let my reservations put me off as it was one of the best fairy stories I've read and I'm really looking forward to continuing with the series.

The deeper they dig the greater the danger they find themselves in becomes but will they be able to find the truth before one of them is hurt?
