Review: Imagine if you were given the gift to be invisible. What would you do? Would you watch over your loved ones to ensure that no harm would ever come to them? Would you have an all-out peepshow in a locker room just to see the way the opposite sex lives? Or would you rob a bank? No one can see you…

In Emily Gee’s Thief Without A Shadow, an invisible girl named Melke steals a necklace to save her brother’s life not knowing it can save his life as well. To those she stole for, the necklace is worthless; it just glitters in the sun; it looks pretty. To those she stole from, the necklace is priceless; holding the secret to lift the curse the family has endured for centuries.

Filled with magical people who touch your heart with their trials and tribulations this book tells of hope and the mystery of love, leaving you hoping that somehow things will work out for the thieves and those whose lives they have affected.

I thoroughly enjoyed Emily Gee’s book and have genuinely recommend it to others.
