Summary: Rip off!
Review: This book is a word for word rip off of Lois Duncan's "Stranger with My Face." The publisher of this book should be ashamed, as well as the author.

Summary: Can't wait to find out what happens
Review: This book is so engrossing, I didn't want to put it down, and if I had to, I couldn't get it off my mind. It became an OBSESSION. I nearly cried when I reached the last page and discovered it was the first of a sequel. How could they! With no warning. Really, this book is so captivating that I have been looking all over town for the sequel "POSSESSION". If anyone knows where this book is please email me. I can't find it anywhere. I have to know what happened next! thanks, karen

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!
Review: This is one of the best books I've read. The end even leaves you in suspence. As I read the book I kept thinking I know how it is going to end, but then something happens to change my mind. You are kept in suspence during the whole book. I never knew what to expect When the second book comes out, I'll be the first in line to get it

Summary: Very Good Book
Review: This was a great book. I love to read and this was a book that I found difficult to put down once I started it. Unfortunately, I was not aware there would be a sequel that I would be forced to wait for. Since reading this book, I have faithfully searched bookstore after bookstore searching for Possession. My advice to anyone thinking of buying/reading this book is this: Don't read Obssession until you get your hands on a copy of Possession. Otherwise you'll be putting yourself through unnecessary torture.

Summary: one damn good book--can't wait to read the next one....
Review: This was probably one of the weirdest, but most interesting topic ever thought of. I can't wait to read "Posession" whenever it comes out--I felt sorry for Meg, but I loved Candra's scheming ways, even though I thought she really felt sympathy for her twin sister...we'll see!

Summary: GREAT ASS READING!
Review: Well, I've been looking for the sequel for a freakin year now. I'm still on the search! Great reading and great suspense. What awesome writing, I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to see what Candra is going to do next. And who is that dark, mysterious guy who's following Mirabelle around?!

Summary: Obsessed?
Review: Wow, skimming reviews I noticed quite a few of my fellow(ess) reviewers seemed quite harsh towards this title. Now I am reviewing the novel, not other reviews, but felt it neccessary to say one thing. It looked like the biggest complaint was this title's lack of originality. Luis Jorges Borges believed everything has been written, and to an extent I agree. It is incrasingly hard for an author to imagine a completely original plot. Especially when the themes are like those dealt with in this novel, i.e. family, roots, betrayal, and the angst of being a teenager.Meg Mckenna leads a seemingly charmed life, attending a posh private school, soon to inherit her grandfather's legacy, and being popular. In fact the only minor things marring her almost perfect existance is a strenous relationship with her step-sister and father. Candra grew up with her "grandmother" in Jamaica, slaving away for a prosperous family, forever snubbed and impoverished. Until the family her grandmother is working for moves back Stateside, and Candra believes this country is the land of dreams come true where she can change her life. The price she is willing to pay to improve her lot seems infinite, including dabbling in black arts. This story seems pretty allegorical as I read along I realized that it stood at least in part for many archetypes(which I am not going to interpret in fear it will spoil the plot.) There were times I felt I was reading a melodramatic cliche, but Morgan's pacing and characterization overcame that minor flaw. I was especially impressed with Morgan's grasp of teenage cruelty, and the alienation that modern teenagers feel. I thought this was a quick fun read, I haven't read the Bujold title, but will. Even if this wasn't Totally oringinal I enjoyed it and hope you do too.
