Review supplied by my 15 year-old daughter :-)

Witch’s Jewel is a fast-paced book full of mystery, and a fantastic sub-plot of love. This novel kept my attention throughout and kept me enraptured up to the last word. Witch's Jewel is a great set up to Kit Melbourne's world for any following books.
From the beginning of the book we are introduced to this new world that Kater Cheek has created, a unique world that offers many stories and ideas. In this first novel, we get only a glimpse of the world, leaving more to be untangled in later books.
Kit, an ordinary human, who owns a magical jewel, one that enables her to see and interact with the supernatural. This, of course, lands her in trouble with people who want the jewel for themselves. Kit’s sarcasm and quick wit lightens the plot of the novel and oftentimes diffuses a situation; either that or makes it much much worse. I also enjoyed the side characters Silvara and Ulrich, who were not just there to add characters, but also actively interacted with the other characters and the fantasy world. The use of a romantic sub-plot was also nice, as it never overpowered the true story.
Overall it’s a good novel that sticks to its plot and is filled with three-dimensional characters.
