Ill-Fated

The Cintamani Chronicles, Book 1

By: Shannon Reber

Narrated by: Susie Kinlock

"Your curse began the moment you wished."

Samara Stavros had been taught all her life never to wish. In a moment of weakness she ignored that lesson and made an innocent wish. It came true, but suddenly, things began to go wrong in her life. Now, Sam has to find out what's going on before it's too late.

That, along with being a 17-year-old girl did not make Sam's life easy. The betrayal of old friends, the joy of new friends, the mysterious boy with indigo eyes, along with the desire to wish again and again, she's not at all sure what's going on in her life.

Join Sam on her journey to find the Cintamani and find out why her family was cursed almost two hundred years ago.

Be careful what you wish for!

Shannon Reber has a remarkable facility with dialogue, especially teenage-speak and attitudes. The characters pulled me in and the storyline kept me engaged till the end when I wished the 2nd of the series was available to binge on. I love Shannon's imagination and the way she unfolds a plot. The Cintamani wish-fulfilling jewell comes alive -- but no spoilers here.
