"My name is Jenna Solitaire and I am the Keeper of the Boards. I have the Board of Air. And every day, I hear the voice of the Board of Water calling to me. Somehow, I must find it and master its powers--before someone else does..."Having mastered the power of the Board of Air, Jenna travels to Jerusalem to find the Board of Water. She is accompanied by Simon Monk, who seeks the Boards on behalf of the Vatican. Jenna doesn't trust Simon, but he's her only source of information about the Boards. In Jerusalem, Jenna meets Saduj, a local guide who claims to be able to help them find the Board they seek. Simon is suspicious, but Jenna finds herself strangely attracted to Saduj. Jenna must find the Board before it awakens and causes unimaginable destruction. But will she lose her heart and possibly her life in the process?"
I have read thousands of books so far in my life and spent several years recently as a bookseller... and still there are some books that just grip me and I can't let go of them. This series was like that for me. This series is slated towards teens and I am definitely not in that age group, and I still love this series! I had to buy it for myself after reading the first one in advanced reader form (booksellers get these). I waited for the rest of the series and it was well worth the wait! There are few books I read that have such a blend of humor, action, struggle, magic, wonder, and destiny. You can read this as lightly or seriously as you choose. Jenna has taken me on a journey I wouldn't have had otherwise, and I wouldn't change that for anything!
Excellent

Both my daughter and I loved the series. There is action, adventure, archaeology and mystery all rolled into one. We've read all four and can't wait for the next installment.
Wonderful!!

Jenna Solitaire is the most unique series yet!!! I just love how Jenna(the author not the main character) give the Boards a certain liveliness by express their personalities. Anyway, I definitely recommend this new series. I think this is the best series yet that come out and there should be more series like this.
This book is GGGGRRREEAATT!

Okay, so this book shows a lot more depth then the last one, although the last one was a bit more lighter, this one shows more of what Jenna can do. she has really mastered the board of the winds, but she hasn't yet mastered her judgment of character! Some spots in the book will send chills down your spine! and the next book is going to have even more spooky parts in it... well I can't wait for the next installment! all and all a really good read!
