(FW Day (4)) Review of Fary Tale by Cyn Balog

Well, we've reached the end of our "Week of Fey", but it was fun times for all right?! I really enjoyed interviewing Cyn Balog, and I hope you all like the reviews! This week I also got sick so stuff was a little light for a few days there, but whatcha gonna do; cold and flu season right?! Anywho, next week is Were-Week, and I'm I'm super excited about it, but more on that tomorrow! For now, here's my review of Fairy Tale! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Product Description From Amazon:

A captivating and witty dark fantasy that will have girls lusting after it.

Morgan Sparks has always known that she and her boyfriend, Cam, are made for each other. But when Cam’s cousin Pip comes to stay with the family, Cam seems depressed. Finally Cam confesses to Morgan what’s going on: Cam is a fairy. The night he was born, fairies came down and switched him with a healthy human boy. Nobody expected Cam to live, and nobody expected his biological brother, heir to the fairy throne, to die. But both things happened, and now the fairies want Cam back to take his rightful place as Fairy King.

Even as Cam physically changes, becoming more miserable each day, he and Morgan pledge to fool the fairies and stay together forever. But by the time Cam has to decide once and for all what to do, Morgan’s no longer sure what’s best for everyone, or whether her and Cam’s love can weather an uncertain future.


My Review:

I actually love a good love triangle (It makes things more interesting!), so I liked that aspect of Fairy Tale, and I ended up being kind of happy about who Morgan ended up with which I was glad about! Morgan’s voice throughout the story is very honest and from the beginning you feel for her and her situation and you also feel for the male characters as well. Pip tugs on your heartstrings and Cam sounds like such a great boyfriend that you’re just as heartbroken as Morgan when he gets caught up in his blood ties.

All in all book was a cute, light, read that was very enjoyable. Though the basic plot of the story was more serious, I thought Cyn did a good job of keeping things light and entertaining.

Were-Week starts tomorrow! EEP!

Done, Done, and Done.

Woo what a rush! Happy Support Teen Literature Day everybody!!! *clappshappilyingirlishway* I just got back from dropping my books and let me just tell you it's a LOT harder to leave you're books in a random public location then people make it out to be! XD Plus for one of the books I had to sit there watching a guy eat pizza around the book cause I had to drop them at Peter Piper,

My books were The Luxe by Anna Godbersen, and Love Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli.


There they are after I'd put in my bookplates and everything...

And here's what I wrote inside them...!




Then where I "dropped" them. hehe *likespictures*




That's my sister's hand as she tries to be sneaky and get in on the book dropping...XD naw really I was a little embarrassed to be taking pictures of books that I was putting in the booths (and then running giddily away from...) so I asked her to come sit with me while I took the picture so it wouldn't look quite as weird. NOT sure we succeeded.... e_e..... ANYWAYS!

It was such a rush but at the same time kinda sad to leave my books somewhere public like that, especially cause Peter Piper is NOT the cleanest place on the block (but still, their pizza is amazing >_<). Anyways I was soo eager to drop one that I did one when we first got there, but that way a mistake cause then I had to watch the person eating around it, and that was.... well really hard to watch.... it's like "Here take these napkins sir!" >_< But oh well... A few times I was really tempted to walk up and say, "Hey, sorry, I accidentally left my book here...." so I could go find someone who seemed more bookish to leave it by, but that wouldn't have been in the spirit of the book drop so I just left it alone even though it was killing me slowly inside....

Anyways on a lighter note, I did the drop and I loved it even though it was hard! XD I might do this more often just because it'll make me giggle. xD But I had a FUN time and all thanks to the Readergirlz! :P Thanks for setting this up ladies!

How'd all your book drops go? Did any of you post about it? I'd love to hear! And you know what this whole book drop thing has put me in such a good mood (XD I know....) So I'll give away a copy of....
