and reading these novels makes me feel like my daughter will have to read them

After reading Intoxic I was curious to see what would happen next in the life of Alison Hayes, the main character in both Intoxic and Purgus. I am an adult father, and reading these novels makes me feel like my daughter will have to read them. I came close a little after the mid-way point of Purgus to shedding tears, though they genuinely fell at the end. The hard realities the characters face are frequently the consequences of rash or uninformed decisions, even while trying to do the right thing. Purgus is a good read, a strong read, and a close examination of young female teen, Alison Hayes. Looking forward to Icara, the next book in the series.

From my daughter (actual purchaser): "I love how this book totally hooks you and you can't put it down because you have to know what happens next!"

I don't write a title like that lightly. I read these books when I was little, but didn't appreciate their complexity until I re-read them earlier this year. They're incredibly imagined and written, and - at least in my opinion - never predictable.

Now I'll  have to read the entire series.  Reading this one made me feel I  was part of the story.

These two books have been such a joy to read. I wish I had the words to express how I was left feeling by the end of each, but then I suppose I would be an author.

Highly recommended.

A book to make you smile and feel sadness at the same time, and perhaps bring back some memories of your own childhood

These characters, buildings, and remodeling choices as well as the emotions I felt will insure that I read more of her books.

I don't love historical fiction, and I read very little romance, but Heitzmann has a way of drawing me into her stories and making me care about her characters that makes me forget I'm reading a genre I don't love. Her writing makes me feel like I'm living the stories, not just reading them.

I'm not embarrassed to say that my daughter has me reading all of her "teen" series.  I love Cassandra Clare's books.

I'm reading the 3rd one now and then I'll move on to my new Paper White reader.  I'm getting anxious  to start on the third book so I can get started on my Paper White Reader.

This novel touches my soul and warms my heart in ways I never thought possible. I find myself relating to Jo, then to Beth, then to Meg, and rarely, to Amy. I understand these girls and feel as if they are my sisters. Marmee is my second mother. Professor Bhaer is my hot older intelligent German professor. Laurie is my tag along buddy. This story speaks to me. I'm so in love with it that words will not do them justice. This novel produces feelings so strong and sure. I bought this edition at BN for the full retail price. It's a beautiful linen cover and, unfortunately, I GOT A LITTLE NAIL POLISH ON ONE OF THE PAGES! Sorry, I had to vent. Anyway, I'm not sure why some people rate this as one star. This is certainly not an abridged version, there are no pictures, and it's definitely not written for children. Perhaps the picture is deceiving customers and we are not talking about the same edition?

I love to read these stories because they feel so real that it puts you there right in the middle of the story!
