Book Review: Seeking Crystal by Joss Stirling


Sparks will fly... Passion will ignite...


Crystal Brook has always been the dud Savant in her family; paranormal powers just aren't her thing. Dropping out of school with a clutch of 'E' grades and no future, she lives in the shadow of her high-flying sister Diamond. On a trip to Denver, a chance encounter with the dashing Benedict brothers leaves Diamond head over heels in love and engaged to be married. Crystal, on the other hand, is unimpressed by their charms . . . in fact no boy can annoy her as much as Xav Benedict!


Back in Venice, their families assemble for Diamond's wedding and a powerful enemy seizes the opportunity to attack. Crystal and Xav must join forces to save their loved-ones, unlocking a secret that, until now, has lain deeply buried...


My Review:


Rating: 4.5/5 stars


I've finally read the 3rd book! I read the first two, Finding Sky and Stealing Phoenix, about seven years ago and never got around to the rest of the series, so I've finally decided to plough through and read the 6 book series. Crystal and Xav's story is my favourite so far. As each book goes on the characters get older so I feel like the characters were more mature at 19. It was a bit of a mix of two brothers finding their 'soulfinder' in this book which cleared up why there is only 6 books and 7 brothers.


The message in this book was one that I appreciated. Crystal had real confidence issues and had low self esteem and this story followed her growth and it was lovely to see her confidence grow and for her to understand her own worth. Xav was always my favourite brother, even in the first two books because he has charisma and a great sense of humour so to see him find his soulfinder was really nice. I enjoyed the action that took place and really saw great development in Crystal's character. At some points some of the dialogue was a little to cheesy for me so that is the only real reason it didn't get 5/5 stars.
