Aaah! Waarom is niemand in haar familie normaal?! Gek wordt de zestienjarige Gwen soms van haar strenge oma lady Arista, haar bemoeizuchtige tante Glenda en vooral haar arrogante nichtje Charlotte. Maar boven alles van de vele geheimen in haar eigenaardige familie… Alles wordt anders als ze op een dag plotseling terechtkomt in het Londen van honderd jaar geleden. Wanneer ze gelukkig ook weer snel naar haar eigen tijd terugspringt, wordt duidelijk dat zijzelf het allergrootste geheim van de familie is. Gwendolyn komt terecht in een wereld van tijdreizen, prachtige kostuums, een geheim genootschap, een machtige graaf en vooral ook… de knappe Gideon. En ze komt erachter dat het niet handig is om dwars door alle eeuwen heen ook nog verliefd te worden…

Brr!Sneller dan haar lief is, raakt Constance verstrikt in het dagelijkse leven van de Insectenwijk. Het blijkt een mijnenveld van moordende concurrentie, ingemene intriges en achterbakse omweggetjes. Alleen het recht van de sterkste telt! Net zoals in het wild...Om dit wespennest te overleven, besluit Constance de wetten van de jungle te hanteren.

Discovering that she carries a time-traveling gene, Gwen learns that she is a part of a society called "The Circle of Twelve," causing her to jump around historical London in order to uncover other time travelers and their secrets.

Gwen has a destiny to fulfill, but no one will tell her what it is. She's only recently learned that she is the Ruby, the final member of the time-traveling Circle of Twelve, and since then nothing has been going right. She suspects the founder of the Circle, Count Saint-German, is up to something nefarious, but nobody will believe her. And she's just learned that her charming time-traveling partner, Gideon, has probably been using her all along. Emerald Green is the stunning conclusion to Kerstin Gier's Ruby Red Trilogy, picking up where Sapphire Blue left off, reaching new heights of intrigue and romance as Gwen finally uncovers the secrets of the time-traveling society and learns her fate.

Love, secrets, and new dream world threats follow Liv Silver in the sequel to Dream A Little Dream. Things seem to be going well for Liv Silver: she's adjusting to her new home (and her new family) in London; she has a burgeoning romance with Henry Harper, one of the cutest boys in school; and the girl who's been turning her dreams into nightmares, Anabel, is now locked up. But serenity doesn't last for long. It seems that Liv's troubles are far from over—in fact, suddenly they're piling up. School gossip blogger Secrecy knows all of Liv's most intimate secrets, Henry might be hiding something from her, and at night Liv senses a dark presence following her through the corridors of the dream world. Does someone have a score to settle with Liv? Romance, adventure, and danger abound in Dream On, the second book in the Silver trilogy, another winning, magical fantasy series from Kerstin Gier, the author of the bestselling Ruby Red trilogy. Just Dreaming, the conclusion to the Silver trilogy, is soon to follow.

Able to visit other people's dreams (whether they want her to or not), Liv has solved mysteries, unearthed difficult truths, fought madmen, and escaped life-threatening peril, all from the comfort of her own bed. But Liv's troubles are just beginning. . . . A rocky romance, a malicious blogger with a hidden identity, a wedding, and a classmate (or two) dead-set on revenge all await Liv in Just Dreaming, the action-packed conclusion to the Silver trilogy by YA fantasy author Kerstin Gier. The Silver Trilogy: Dream a Little Dream Dream On Just Dreaming

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 (gross!), 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. Sapphire Blue is the second book in the Ruby Red Trilogy from Kerstin Gier.

Mysterious doors with lizard-head knobs. Talking stone statues. A crazy girl with a hatchet. Yes, Liv's dreams have been pretty weird lately. Especially the one where she's in a graveyard at night, watching four boys conduct dark magic rituals. The strangest part is that Liv recognizes the boys in her dream. They're classmates from her new school in London, the school where she's starting over because her mom has moved them to a new country (again). But what's really scaring Liv is that the dream boys seem to know things about her in real life, things they couldn't possibly know—unless they actually are in her dreams? Luckily, Liv never could resist a good mystery, and all four of those boys are pretty cute.... Kerstin Gier has a flair for blending fresh, irresistible combinations of comedy, romance and humor, even twisting a little horror into Dream a Little Dream, book one in her latest series, the Silver trilogy.
