The characters are well planned and highly developed which mesh well with the story to create a truly extraordinary account that will stay with you long after you read the last page. You will enjoy reading along as Emma and Ben's romance builds, all the ups and downs, drama, and humor they share. The side characters are lively and vivid which help to add to the circus feel of the novel.

What can I say about the setting other then it is perfect for BY A CHARM AND A CURSE. There is all the lights and mystery that surrounds the circus with the unknown that comes with the dark of night. Being part of a traveling circus, you never know what the next town has in store. Never know what to expect or what mystery to unravel. This makes it easy to get swept away into the world of the unknown on a roller coaster of a ride that you are not sure if or when it will end.

Overall, I enjoyed reading BY A CHARM AND A CURSE. Questell has written a truly remarkable story that is full of excitement, mystery, vivid characters, and a plot that will stay with you. I cannot wait to read more from this author and hope for a second book with these amazing characters.
