Reviews

"A fantastical and historical ghost story that benefits from . . . the presence of young love." -Kirkus Reviews
"This smart paranormal novel is more than aware of its predecessors, and subverts them brilliantly. Gift is smart, striking, and I hope the first of many YA novels from Andrea Buchanan." -Saundra Mitchell, author of The Vespertine and The Springsweet "A good story that doesn't rely on tricks and gimmicks." -VH1's blog, The FABlife "CREEPY. I think that's the word we're looking for here. WEIRD, dark, disturbing, with a Gothic feel." -Tanita Davis, author of Mare's War
