The poison is spreading....

I wrapped myself in the portal’s embrace and felt my feet land on a new surface. I stood on a sandy beach that was wet and damp, causing the ground to stick to my shoes. The portal snapped shut, and I felt misty rain dance on my shoulders. Thunder sounded from overhead, and before I could comprehend the impending storm, a gash of lightning ...more

Dec 09, 2014 Blaire Hammond rated it really liked it

The Poisoned Emerald, the final book in the Pendant Trilogy, was fantastic. I couldn't put it down as the story was coming to an end. I had an urge to keep going because I needed to know what happened! This trilogy overall was a fantastic read, and, being a HUGE mystery fan, definitely made me happy. 100% recommend it to you all. ...more

5-STARS

The Pendant Trilogy consists of The Gemstone, The King’s Jewel, and The Poisoned Emerald. This is a remarkable series because it is written by teenaged twins who, according to the bio on Amazon, attend high school in Ontario. They should be commended for following their love of reading and writing by publishing a book for other teenagers.
The Gemstone begins with the main character, Arica attending a new private school along with her cousins Janine, Jessica and Joseph. All three possess inherited magical gifts, but only Arica is completely clueless about her magical heritage; her magical background having been concealed by her mother who was intent on protecting her from the dangers of magic. Faced with a headmistress with malevolent intent, and roommates and other peers who may be either friends or foes, Arica and her cousins must survive while protecting heirloom magical gemstone necklaces from theft. During these trials, Arica, who is otherwise a clueless ninth-grader, reluctantly rises to a leadership role and with the help of her cousins and others who become allies slowly learns the truth of her magical inheritance. The same malevolent forces fought by Arica, her cousins and her friends in The Gemstone persist in different threatening forms and hideous activities in The King’s Jewels and The Poisoned Emerald. The authors have left plenty of opportunity to expand the trilogy into multiple volumes.
Written by peers, this is a fine fantasy selection for middle-school and lower high school students. The plot is a simple straight-forward good-v-evil scenario which is sufficiently imaginative to provide good entertainment. While some of the characters and situations may seem elementary or somewhat implausible to adult readers, it should be remembered that these books were not written for adults. The descriptions of objects and locations are rich and detailed; often entertaining in and of themselves. The choice of words and dialog are simple, but seem stilted and awkward, not at all how I would expect ninth-graders to talk in America; however, the authors are Canadian, and the main characters have recently moved from England to Canada to attend a new school, therefore, a British influence accents the dialog.
Overall, I feel The Pendant Trilogy is a great start toward a writing career for the authors, Sarena and Sasha Nanua, and an entertaining fantasy selection for middle-school aged students…perhaps a good Halloween read.

I received a copy of The Pendant Trilogy last year to review. It's been a couple of month since I read The King's Jewel and I thought it was about time I finished the trilogy. I don't think the gap between me reading The King's Jewel and The Poisoned Emerald was such a great idea because it took me longer than I'd have liked to get back into the story. But that's my fault.

I was confused that Arica and her friends just accepted Frost and Marisol

This is the third and final book in The Pendant Trilogy and like the two before it, it was amazing. Sasha and Sarena did an incredible job making me want to be a magical creature, again. I always love being drawn into this magical world because it's so easy to get invested in these characters.

Arica was marvelous as ever in TPE, I honestly love seeing how she is going to react to the things going on in her life. There is always some crazy stuff going on in her life ever since she found her gemst ...more

To be honest, this trilogy was not my cup of tea. I rarely read fantasy books. But of course there are some books that are an exception.

The ending was just okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. I really thought that the main character - the prophetic child, Arica Miller would eventually end up with someone. And that someone would be Prince Adam. But that's okay.

This trilogy is a light and short read. The contents aren't really filled with action filled moments but also readers getting to know the ...more
