Brilliant and captivating
Absolutely brilliant book, the author keeps your attention throughout the whole story, you do need to pay attention as it does skip through years to keep the story going and not allow it to become boring, but really good, love the end of the books when the facts are explained to you.
Definitely recommend to a friend!

Amazing end to this incredible story!? I LOVE Tony & Clair... even from book one I found myself just wishing they could find a way and in Convicted, we finally get a happy ending after so much drama and pain. This series ripped my heart out... the connection throughout everything between these two is beautiful. An unbelievable story of true soul mates... HIGHLY recommended!!

This book and sucks you in so quickly that you get lost in ren and dellas world. Pepper Winters writing forced me to get so attached to all of the characters and I just fell in love with them all. The story is brilliant even if it is a little far fetched. The best story that I have ever read!!

A good read.
A good read, telling the story of a young boy in the Gypsy community and how he did not meet the usual expectations of the norm. But how after many years he managed to live through it with small glimpses of love and kindness.

I really love Doescher's Shakespeare-ization of modern media. I don't particularly like Mean Girls, since I was terrorized by mean girls in HS, who coincidentally asked me to bring the family copy of the film to watch after soccer practice, but whatever.
The story lends itself well to iambic pentameter, and was an overall good adaption of the story.

Book Favorite

"It is hard to choose just one book by Graham Greene but The Quiet American is one that I can return to without opening it's pages, the mood and atmosphere Greeene created of life in 1950's Saigon is so strong. The Quiet American is both a war novel and a story of ethical inquiry set in a love story."

A real-life twist on an old familiar fairy tale. It took me a little bit to get into this story, mainly because the tone was a bit stiff and formal. But once I did get into it, I fell in love. I enjoyed this story so much and I can't wait to read the rest of the Modern Fairytale series!

I absolutely fell in love with this book, and I totally didn't expect to. But I couldn't put the story down, and with every turn of the page, I found myself more invested in the characters and their world. It's a must read for anyone looking for a story that's new, interesting, and packed with court conflicts. It's like Wicked King Meets ACOTAR!!!!!!
