[Beyond the Fortuneteller's Tent] by [Kristy Tate] was a great twist on YA romance. It involves time travel and finding your true love. The adventures and twists make this story different than your typical YA paranormal romance (a genre too filled with vampires).

I compared it to the [Outlander] series but PG because I would be disturbed to see my students reading [Galbadon] but would gladly recommend the [Beyond] books.

Gut wrenching build-up, jaw dropping twist
You'll hate the protagonist. He's an arrogant womanizer and a spineless twit. But does he deserve to be punished for it?

That's the question you'll ask yourself throughout. While I hardly empathised with his plight, the climax is a slap around the face. And the conclusion is equally unusual. Expect to cringe throughout but hold on right to the end - it's worth it.

A little slow at the beginning
Interesting book
This book is a little slow to start off. That would be my biggest criticism of it. However, once it gets going, it's a roller coaster ride from there. The book just gets more interesting the further you go. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to read a good book.

Everything about this book is amazing. Piecing together the mystery along side the characters is so amazing and all these plot twist! (0 more)
Nothing about this book is bad (0 more)
This book lets you in the POV of the 4 main characters, they all have their own secrets to hide, making them as much of a suspect as they already are. The characters are so lovable and the book makes you thing.

A Fun And Elegant Movie
This new twist to a secret service has put elegance and honor to a modern day spy movie and as few realize has an actual background in real history that brings a complete brilliance to the whole film. Along with being a heart whelming tale about coming of age this film offers a little something for everyone.

Meh
This was a strange one. The acting and cinematography were decent. The story had a twist or two that were semi-unexpected. But overall it was just an "ok" movie. Nothing great or anything. The description only scratches the surface of it. Is listed under horror but it wasn't scary, really. A little intense, at times, but not scary. If you can't find anything else, it's worth a watch.

Want sure what I'd get with this one because of so many mixed reviews. Turned out to be a really good movie. The acting was pretty good and the cinematography was great. The action sequences were really good and the story played out beautifully with a twist or two. Overall I'd say the 'naysayers' have other issues with this one because it's really fun and entertaining. Worth a watch!
  
This was a really cool adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. I love the dark twist (in opposition to the Disney, not the Grimm) Gaiman gives the story. I listened to the audio book and it was more of a story play than a regular reading of the story itself. All I can say was it was incredible. Great job Gaiman! I can't wait to see if you do something like this again!

Big plot holes

Some very wooden acting from support cast, especially Natalie Eva Marie
An intriguing enough tale of deception let down through poor execution
