This review is from: The Blue is for Nightmares Collection (Stolarz Series) (Paperback)

I really wanted to buy all four books, having read them in the library. These books are amazing. The "Spell Book" that this collection comes with is also an interesting thing to look at. It contains all the spells that were used by Stacie; I thought it was cool. :) It is a thrilling series that takes turns that you would never expect. It's one of those books that gets you hooked right away and you fall in love with some characters and completely abhor others. Don't have to be a fanatic of witchcraft, because the plot of the story can be enjoyed without it.

I've gotta say that the last two books are my favorite. Unlike White is for Magic and Blue is for Nightmares, the last two go together. I love the love story in it and the way that Stolarz puts two different points of view. Keeps you up at night and has short chapters, which I'm a fan of.

Definetly a recommendation worth looking into. ;)

If you can appreciate Fiction, you will love these books. I read White is for Magic, before reading the first book Blue is for Nightmares, and I just had to go and find the entire series. Now I can't wait until the fifth book comes out Black is for Black is for Beginnings.
