"I can honestly say that when I came to the last page of the novel I was sad. I didn't want the story to end, and am excited at the thought of a second novel. Clea's story is so captivating that i felt like i was living in her world and watching it unfold before my eyes. Elixir is so far the best book I've read in 2010!" -Alex at "Twilight Series Theories"

"The dialogue was great. I really connected with it, because as a teen I know what it's like to read a forced attempt of an adult trying to sound like a teen--and there was none of that in this book. Hilary's voice was great! I loved the fluidity of her words." -Esmerelda at "Dreamz of a YA Writer"

"[Hilary Duff has]pen[ned] a thoroughly engaging read.After gulping up Elixir, I'm ready for another dose."

"[Hilary Duff[ tackles topics and settings far removed from her L.A. life in her thrilling first novel. And even though it's aimed at young adults, it's an exhilarating read for all ages."
