With A Kiss
Stephanie Fowers
Series: Twisted Tales, #1
Publication: April 2013
Genre: YA Paranormal (Faeries)
Synopsis
There are seven rules of the faery kingdom that Halley Starr must never break:
1. No trespassing sacred faery territory
2. Don't ever say thank you
3. Using a faery’s given name is a no-no
4. Never break a promise to a faery
5. Faery music is forbidden
6. Resist all faery food
7. And never, never fall in love with a faery
But Halley is cursed. Yeah. No joke. She can barely survive Omak High with that shard of ice in her heart. How could she possibly be a proper godmother and stop Rumpelstiltskin from taking the heir of the faery kingdom? And let’s be honest, there is no way she’ll go with Goldilocks (some hot faery guy) who won’t bother telling Halley his name or that she looks like she’s talking to herself when he’s around. Not a chance.
And really, who can blame her?
If Halley wants her heart back again, she can’t worry about the rules…
Review:
I received With a Kiss in return for an honest review as part of the tour hosted by Expresso Book Tours. Halley is emotionless. She’s never been the emotional type like
her sister. She also doesn't fit in while her sister is fair and looks like her
parents Halley is darker with dark hair. It’s on the big night of the play
where Halley will play a fairy that she starts to hear a baby crying. When she
finds the baby she’s thrust into a world she didn't know existed given the task
of delivering the princess to her mother the faery queen. Thankfully she doesn't have to travel through faery alone she joined with a protector Hobs who will
help her on her journey.
Along the way the pair will encounter many challenges from
nymphs to wolves even army’s set out to capture the princess. They are joined
by a grumpy leprechaun who helps the pair on their quest. Halley is set on
delivering the princess and returning to the life she left behind. From the start it’s been drilled into her that
she needs to follow the rules but as the journey continues she learns that
sometimes you have to break the rules. Will she be able to get Babs safely to the queen before time runs out?
A fast paced story the keeps you captivated from the start
right till the end. The author does an amazing job of putting a new spin on
classic faery tales. I've always been a fan of faery tales so when the chance
came up to read the twisted tales I was all for it. I really liked Halley she
grows so much from who she was when the book starts. I wasn't sure at first
about Hobs only in part because I didn't like all the mystery and for a long
time I was sure he would be a bad guy, by the end I was all alright with him. I’m
still not sure how I feel about the Halley and Hobs thing it just didn't work
out in my mind. Maybe I just see someone who isn't so secretive for her. I highly suggest anyone who loves faery tales
should check out the series because they really are fantastic.
4 out of 5 stars
