Her third wish sends classmate Tristan back to the middle ages until he can become a prince, and Savannah is determined to find a way to help him, even if it means going back to eating peas porridge in the pot, nine days old. Unfortunately, when your fairy godmother is just a “fair” student, such a vague wish can only mean trouble and Savannah soon finds herself trapped in the Middle Ages, doomed to live out the early, dreary chapters of first Cinderella’s and then Snow White’s story. When Chrissy shows up in a dazzle of bright lights and asks her to name her heart’s desire, Savannah can’t help wishing her life was like a fairytale with a handsome prince at the end. It all begins when mediocre fairy godmother student Chrissy Everstar has to do an extra credit project and is put on the case of 15 year old Savannah who is inconsolable after sister Jane steals her hot prom date Hunter. I really wanted something lighthearted and fun after the heavier books I’ve been reading lately and this charming and hilarious novel proved to be exactly what I needed. And the premise for this one got me so excited, it ended up as my WoW pick number 7. The only sub-genre I look forward to as much as dystopia is fairy-tale retellings.

She doesn’t like the fake smiles and kissing up to sponsors that Elle seems to do. Elle is her archrival and current best surfer in the world. Gia is a pro surfer and currently number 2 in the world. When it came to Gia as a character, Brayden didn’t disappoint. Gia was more mysterious than the others and I loved that she was a pro surfer. Ever since the first few pages of book 1, I wanted to know more about Gia. I’m a huge Brayden fan and I did enjoy this, I just didn’t OMG love it. I loved the characters, but didn’t like the storyline as much as I hoped. I hoped this book would mean redemption, growth and maturity from Winter. The first book to me, in my formative years, was a cautionary tale, with the beautiful rich Winter, never fully utilizing her talents and falling prey to felonious men. Like many, I have anticipated the release of this book for 20 years. True fans won’t let Winter travel alone on this amazing journey. That’s what Winter thinks.Ī heartwarming, heart-burning, passionate, sexual, comical, and completely original adventure is about to happen in real time - raw, shocking, soulful, and shameless. Hell is the same as any hood and certainly the Brooklyn hood she grew up in. Will she blow Winter’s head off? Can Winter dodge the bullets? Or will at least one bullet blast Winter into another world? Either way Winter is fearless. Simone, Winter’s young business partner and friend, is locked and loaded and Winter is her target. But Winter is not the only one with revenge on her mind. She’s eager to pay back her enemies, rebuild her father’s empire, reset his crown, and ultimately to snatch Midnight back into her life no matter which bitch had him while she was locked up. Still stunning, still pretty, still bold, still loves her father more than any man in the world, still got her hustle and high fashion flow.

He attended many famous schools but as a large, awkward boy, he never felt in place among the aristocrats he met there. Novelist Anthony Trollope was born in London, England on April 24, 1815. What happens when the first and oldest man reaches the end of his "Fixed Period" and must prepare for his "humane" death is a fascinating study of moral and social impossibility. In Britannula, a law has been passed decreeing that all citizens who have reached the age of 67 must be removed to "The College" to undergo euthanasia, for the good of society. In this amazing visionary work by the British Victorian master of social mores and relationships, Britannula is an imaginary "futuristic" island country and a one-time British colony near New Zealand, and the story is narrated by the President. It is part utopia, part dystopia, part dark satire, with overtones of modern "steampunk" and quaint technological devices. THE FIXED PERIOD (1882) by Anthony Trollope is an unusual early science fiction novel, originally published anonymously. |
