Ratings and reviews

My super-favorite book of all time!!! My sister introduced this to me, but the first book I read is the Black Circle, and when that time, I got hooked up with it until I read all of the series! The Clue Hunt, Cahills VS Vespers, Unstoppable, Doublecross, and the Superspecial. Thank you Scholastic for publishing this book!!

I read the hardback version and I would recommend it to anyone who likes mystery and some action in a book. This book has amazing story and is worth every penny. If you haven't read it, you definitely should. All of this coming from an avid reader. All in all, this is a great book.

Dan and Amy don't know wich family branch they belong too, but book 7, "The Viper's Nest", reveals it, they are madrigals.
