A few of Tasha's thoughts on her readings

This time Riley may be in over her head. And yes its the truth but I trust Alyson Noel by now to take me on an exciting trip into new worlds and exciting adventures. these books are each great however this one really starts to show Rileys growth and maturity. It was a great read all the way through.

This time, Riley might really have bitten off more than she’s ready for. After practically begging the Council for a more challenging Soul Catch, she is assigned an actual Roman gladiator—Theocoles, the Pillar of Doom. How is Riley, a skinny twelve-year-old, supposed to get through to him? Then she meets the beautiful Messalina, who convinces her that her only chance is to become part of this world. To accomplish this, Messalina helps Riley through a dramatic, mystical makeover, transforming her into the beautiful and mature teen she’s always wanted to be. Finally, Riley can experience her first boyfriend and her first kiss. With a dream this enchanting, will she ever want to leave?
