Precious Stone Trilogy: Sapphire Blue - Kerstin Gier

Gwen’s life has been a rollercoaster since she discovered she was the Ruby, the final member of the secret time-traveling Circle of Twelve. In between searching through history for the other time-travelers and asking for a bit of their blood, she’s been trying to figure out what all the mysteries and prophecies surrounding the Circle really mean.

At least Gwen has plenty of help. Her best friend Lesley follows every lead diligently on the Internet. James the ghost teaches Gwen how to fit in at an eighteenth century party. And Xemerius, the gargoyle demon who has been following Gwen since he caught her kissing Gideon in a church, offers advice on everything. Oh, yes. And of course there is Gideon, the Diamond. One minute he’s very warm indeed; the next he’s freezing cold. Gwen’s not sure what’s going on there, but she’s pretty much destined to find out.

The cover is beautiful, I had the Dutch cover (right) which also had a little cord you could use as a bookmark and wow, I love the illustrations on the front/back of the book. I find the English cover less beautiful, but it still gives you the same ambiance the book is all about. 

Wow, I am in love with these books. Kerstin is an incredible writer, because she knows how to put romance in a book without making it cheesy, there's humor, usually caused by Xemerius, and mistery, that's why I couldn't lay this book down. I wanted to know, wanted to know what's going on, and I was surprised.

Okay, I do have to say, this book will tear you apart. Gideon, do you love her or don't you? Are they going to be together or not? Will she make it? Will he make it? What's going on with Lucy? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

I love Gideon so much, but I always have a thing for the 'douchebags that change because of the female'. There were times where I just wanted to slap him in the face, but there were also times where I just wanted to hug him. As I said, this book will tear you apart.

I'd give this book 5/5 stars, it's just a light book that will make you happy.
