Did You Hear About the Prinz Party?

Your Favorite Faerie Tales Just Got Real


Written by: Eiran Naomi Omid
This collection of faerie tales has three short, modern retellings of Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. The best of three is the retelling of Cinderella. With a realistic plot line and a hint of fantasy in the appearance of her fancy dress from her mother who had passed away, the story moves quickly and tells the tale of gaining independence and freedom from bullies.

The Rapuzel retelling starts with a crazy ex-girlfriend placing a curse on the future child of her old boyfriend. After a childhood filled with overprotecitve parents, Rosamond is let loose the moment she turns 18. While the switch from protected child to the freedom of an adult happens overnight is unrealistic, especially when the curse is supposed to take place only a week after her 18th birthday. The romance happens quickly just the way teenage romances do.

The retelling of Snow White has some of the elements of the original such as an mother figure trying to kill her daughter for her beauty are the same, other similarities are forced. Snowflake, as deemed by her seven men, seeks sanctuary after her narcissistic mom tries to drown her. Three years later when she turns 18, she heads to the party of the year with the rest of her stoner brotherhood where her mother finds her to finish the job she started.

Each of the three heroines find their own happily ever after at the Prinz party of the year along with independence and relief from the villains of their faerie tales.

Perfect Match

Perfect Match Gulf Coast Firefighters Written by: Susan Oloier This sweet romance was a pleasant read. With two characters who are looking for something more satisfying in life and struggling to find it, they relate to most of the population. As neighbors who find attraction despite everything about the situation being wrong, they push past their insecurities and eventually find their way to love. Susan Oloier created realistic characters with faults and struggles. Both of them have great personalities and the flaws enhance the story. The world they live in is comfortable and real. This story could be any of the hallmark stories just without a Christmas setting.

  Home on the Harbor Cliffside Point: Book 4 Written by: Ellen Joy The fourth book in this series has all of the characters come back with big appearances. While this may hold Harper's love story, it also holds the love story of the whole family (blood and chosen)- the love story of how these characters found each other and rely on each other. While the romance is sweet, the greater meaning comes from how these women are light to each other and can rely on each other. Reading about their struggles and will to survive makes me want to reach out to those around me so they know I have their backs and love them.  Overall- I wish I could have seen more of Harper's love story. There is so much to her back story and understanding who she is as a person that I felt a little gypped on seeing her happily ever after. To seeing the characters fall in love after they came around to enjoying each other's company. Maybe we will see more of that in the next book!

Sleep Robin Hood

Sleep Robin Hood Outlaws: Book Three Written by: M.C. Frank Sleep Robin Hood is a fantastic continuation of the Outlaws series. With action, adventure, romance, suspense, and everything in-between this story hooked me. I can't wait for the next year to pass so I can read the next installation in this retelling. The characters have such passion and feelings that go between hope, despair, and betrayal. I don't want to say too much for fear of giving something away but this series is a well-written depiction of the tale of Robin Hood.
