Jack is stuck in Europe on a tour his parents insisted he take. He goes off the beaten path and finds a sleeping kingdom and k...
This is my second work by Alex Finn and so far I love her work. Bewitching tells the story of two people Kendra, who is a witch that likes to meddle (she was responible for Beastly) and Emma, a nerd who loves to read and is manipulated by her personality disorder step-sister Lisette. It's a good ...
Cloaked is an amazing tale in which a poor teenaged boy fixing up shoes runs into princess Victoriana's who immediately tells him about how her brother has been turned into a frog by evil witch Sieglende and how he was the only one that could help to reverse the spell. In return if he did this fa...
It was good, but i'm not a big fan of insta love books, but the romance was sweet. The story plot was interesting and it had a decent mystery aspect, so I was pretty excited to see how it would end, but I was fairly dissapointed with how simply it ended. And When the ending with Wyatt happened, i...
I loved this re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty! I enjoyed the unique twist of having a modern peasant be the one to awaken the princess with true love's first kiss as well as the two having to work towards love, rather than the love being there already. I liked the added twist of the 'Herculean' ...

I am a beast.A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, ...
For most people, the word "diva" means brilliant, talented, over-the-top, and glamorous. I, however, seemed to be trapped in the not-very-glamorous life of a cheerleader wannabe with serious ex-boyfriend issues and a permanent yo-yo diet. At least until the day I auditioned for Miami High School ...
This is the first time I read an Alex flinn novel and I must say that I loved her work! Although, I was quick to assume that she was a man because of her name I loved how I discovered that she was a woman, which goes to show how well she writes because she narrated a 16 year old boy so well. The ...
It makes me sad that a book about teenage violence has become required reading for all freshman at North High,(where my kids attend). On the other hand, I'm glad that someone took the time to write a book about such a serious and much needed topic. I'm sure that the author wrote it thinking tha...
Pretty sure because it wasn’t like I knew Warner really well, and it sounded cheesy to say I loved him. Maybe he was just this character in my fantasies, no more real than Dobbin or Mr. Darcy or Rochester, those guys I loved in my books. No more real than Lisette that first day, when I thought we...
6 A few years ago, I heard about the show, Game of Thrones, starring Peter Dinklage, a guy about my size (and my personal hero), as Tyrion Lannister, the sometimes heroic, sometimes not, son of a lord. I begged my mom to let me watch it. She protested that the show was TV-MA, with tons of nudity ...
Well, um, yes. Yes, it is. Have I, Linda Owens, the same Lindy who reads Gabriel Garcia-Márquez and Ayn Rand (even when they’re not required for school) and who skipped lunch every day in third grade in order to donate a flock of chickens to a family in Guatemala, become as shallow as Sloane Hage...
