The Dolls

Title: The Dolls  
Author: Kiki Sullivan
Publisher: Usborne
Publication Date: 2015
Genre: YA, Romance, Fiction.
Length: 410 pages
Where you can get yours: 

Peregrine Marceau and Cloe St. Pierre are the dolls. 

Boys want them.

 Impossibly beautiful and dangerously powerful, they hold the city of Carrefour under their spell.

 Girls want to be them.

 Yet newcomer Eveny Cheval is not so easily swayed by their glamo- until she discovers she is a doll too. 

Someone wants them dead. And when a killer sneaks past the locked gates of Carrefour, only the dolls’ combined powers can stop the murderer in their midst. 

Sultry, seductive, irresistible… welcome to Carrefour.

Eveny Cheval is not your typical teen. The plot of the book starts the day Eveny and her aunt Bea (who has been caring for Eveny since her mother died) move to Carrefour, a small town in Louisiana from New York on the day of Eveny’s seventeenth birthday. That’s where Eveny finds out that she belongs to a group of beautiful witches that protect Earth, they are called the dolls. Her mother was the queen doll, and so is Eveny. But throughout the book she realizes that it might not be something she actually wants…



I just cannot help but point out that this is another great example of how the front cover of the book can be so misleading. I mean it’s not that it isn’t pretty, I really like the beautiful combination of pink and black, it’s just that it looks like something I probably wouldn’t normally read. I read this while I was on vacation, and I have to say that I just didn’t want to stop reading at all. I read it when I woke up, I read it during breakfast, when we were at the beach with my family, just the entire day. No surprise I finished in two days. The first few chapters were very well written, and you get into the story pretty fast. This is just one of those books that are so amazingly vivid you just feel like you're standing there if you know what I mean. I know a sequel called The Midnight Dolls is coming out soon and I really hope to find it somewhere and continue the fangirling. I think that there was only one problem I had with the book and that was the characters. The characters were well written and everything, I just didn’t feel them, not even Eveny. But hey, when I finished I was shocked because I was so into it, I didn’t realize I was almost done with the book. So, highly recommended, if you are currently reading it or already have, please comment down below and tell me what you thought.
