    A SIDE SPLITTING FUN ROLLER COASTER BARGAIN!

    I would've gladly paid twenty times what this book cost me. Totally stunned, it's chock full of fun and good natured magic. Xanzeer transported me to another world, and I needed it, bad.

    Charlize and Xanzeer's love story, though ultimately fun, was even sad at times. This book had it all. Laughs. Tears. Hand wringing terror aboard the Ghost Ship.

    Best over the top Fairy tale I'd ever read for teens. When it's a movie, it'll be one I watch over and over again. The twists and turns absolutely sending roller coaster chills over me all over again!

    A MUST READ!!!!!!

    THE MOST SPELLBINDING READ EVER!

    From the first page, I lost myself in Xanzeer. It was the most fantastic voyage I'd ever been on! This author's written a truly magnificent piece of artwork here. Little wonder she'd been nominated for a book award once. The plot to Xanzeer was a rich tapestry rivaling the best of any Potter. The imagination that it took to write what happened in the Treasure Room alone, I'd have paid twenty times more for. Not only was there unimaginable magic to this story, the romance between Xanzeer and Charlize was like nothing I'd ever read before. Their having lost each other was so absolutely gut wrenching, so beautifully captured with words, that their hard journey back to each others arms will no doubt enter into literary history. Mark my word. But for all the tragedy here, there were funny parts too that uplifted your spirit all over again. Reading this book, I go so absorbed in the unforgettable characters of the Captain, his daughter and Genie that I forgot I had my own life to lead. The dog got left outside. The iron got left on. Stuff burnt in the oven. The phone rang and rang. The way they all talked too, they jumped right off the page and into your life. I'll stay shaky and won't be able to manage until I read the next one. Literally, if you only read one book this year, make it Xanzeer. You'll come away reeling.

    GAG! Dont waste your money

    Its a good thing this was only 99 cents. Save your money. You can buy better books with a dollar. I was so confused in the intro and I literally fell asleep from the bland and flat writting! If you like boring, pathetic books then this is your cup of tea.

    A MUST READ!!!

    Xanzeer was such a fun escape from reality, I forgot all my own problems as I read it. Get ready to enter a world where anything is possible. This Marja is a master storyteller to accomplish that feat. And Charlize and Xanzeer are sure to go down in literature as one of the all time greatest romantic couples ever written. Yes, they're that special and singular.

    Ghost Ship of the Living Dead was one of those rare finds that takes your breath away. There is literally nothing like it out there in paranormal. It has such goodness about it and the romance was extraordinary.

    I also loved those zinger jokes that crept up once in a while that knocked you off your chair. I honestly cannot say enough about this book. It took a lot of imagination to write it and I wish I could write a review that's up to the standard of this book.

    Xanzeer, we need a lot of sequels! Thank you Marja for a book this absolutely astounding and enjoyable. I love it when I take a chance on a new author and find that glistening gem that rises to the top. And Xanzeer certainly did for me.

    SMOKIN'

    Okay, so I'm a ravenous fan now of Marja. I was waiting for something else to come on of hers. And I pounced.

    If Xanzeer, Mr. Hot Guy, doesn't make you sit up and pay attention, nothing will. And how Charlize tamed him and came into her own power, well, I have never read a love story more searing and magical than this before. Not to mention this was knock dead funny in a lot of places. I'd read it in one day because I could literally not stop myself. You'll have alot of fun with this one. I did. More Xanzeer please!
