Synopsis:

All the women in Iris and Malina’s family have the unique magical ability or “gleam” to manipulate beauty. Iris sees flowers as fractals and turns her kaleidoscope visions into glasswork, while Malina interprets moods as music. But their mother has strict rules to keep their gifts a secret, even in their secluded sea-side town. Iris and Malina are not allowed to share their magic with anyone, and above all, they are forbidden from falling in love. 

But when their mother is mysteriously attacked, the sisters will have to unearth the truth behind the quiet lives their mother has built for them. They will discover a wicked curse that haunts their family line—but will they find that the very magic that bonds them together is destined to tear them apart forever?

Review:

I have to admit it took me quite a while to get into this book and I have mixed feelings about it. It started slow, got more interesting in the middle then the ending seemed rushed and chaotic. I am intrigued enough to read the next one but it won't be a rush buy for me. I found it to be a shame as this book and the characters have a lot of potential which I feel has been wasted a little.

I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars.
