Reviews / Votes
'The Dolls', I believe, has become one of my favourite books! It follows a very traditional storyline, but it just has something magical about it which makes it such a brilliant read. Characters' struggles are strange, yet relatable in an odd sense which I must congratulate Sullivan for! Her writing truly captures every dark, fantastical twist and turn, leaving you enchanted and unable to wait for the next turn of a page. I think that 'The Dolls' is an exceptional read, almost bursting with twists and turns, shocks and sighs of relief, dark magic and discovery and despair and forbidden romance. Utterly amazing and an honestly brilliant book that I can't recommend enough! Thumbs up! * Phoebe Allan, for lovereading4kids.co.uk * A very intriguing, mysterious, dramatic novel! It was really great. I loved the suspense of the murder plot and I was very surprised to find out who the murderer was. I thought the ending was fantastic but I found it very surprising with what happened between to Caleb and Eveny. I really loved reading this book and cant wait till its sequel 'The Midnight Dolls' is released. * Destiny Maraj for lovereading4kids.co.uk * From the second you open this book you are drawn into the mysterious world of Carrefour, which is so well described you can almost feel the humidity of the Louisiana Bayou seeping through the pages... I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys magic and thrillers and personally I cannot wait for the rest of the books in the series! * Reading Zone * I love this book so much. The characters are all incredibly different, but every one I can picture in my mind. My favourites are probably Drew and Chloe, because they are very unpredictable. The chapters are fast paced and lead on from one another with ease. I seemed to get more and more gripped as the plot developed. The twists and turns are epic; I like how you never know who the enemy is until the end. A little bit of romance, a little bit of magic, an action infused plot and what do you get? An amazing idea that will go far.In my opinion, girls of the age 12-16 will love this book, but I'm sure some boys may like it too. I rate it four stars. * Aimee Sweet, for lovereading4kids.co.uk * I loved this book and would recommend it to those of you who might have enjoyed 'Beautiful Creatures', the movie 'Mean Girls', or if you just love some great YA writing! This was awesome! Gorgeous setting! * Edel Waugh for lovereading4kids.co.uk *

Person
Kiki Sullivan used to live in New York but now calls the American South home. She finds it impossible to keep her rose garden alive and has been singlehandedly responsible for the demise of countless herbs. She may or may not have hung out with queens of the dark arts, strolled through creepy New Orleans cemeteries at night, and written The Dolls with a redheaded Louisiana voodoo doll beside her computer.
