Description:
I'm not your average hero. I actually wasn't your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all.
It all started with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission.
There wasn't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I've ever heard. Before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades.
Don't believe me? I didn't believe it either. But you'll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked.
Hmmm...where to begin on this review? There were times when I liked this book, but mostly I thought it was too cheesy and fairytale-like. I know that this is the whole point of this book, and if you like that kind of stuff then you'll enjoy it. I tend to prefer books that are at least believable in their fiction. This was an interesting read, and I didn't stop reading it. It took me a while tho, since I wasn't anticipating reading more. I probably won't read any others by this author, although her book "Beastly" is wildly popular and made into a movie. I guess if you liked that movie, then you might like this book also.
