  • Bewitching

    Bewitching

    Bewitching can be a beast. . . .

    Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn’t.

    I go to a new school now—one where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. I’m not still here because I’m stupid; I just don’t age.

    You see, I’m immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years—except for when to take my powers and butt out.

    I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. And that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I don’t even want to think about it.

    Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn’t get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I think I have just the thing to fix that girl—and it isn’t an enchanted pumpkin. Although you never know what will happen when I start . . . bewitching.

  • Beastly

    Beastly

    A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.

    You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.

    Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

  • Cloaked

    Cloaked

    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.

  • A kiss in time

    A Kiss in Time

    Talia fell under a spell. . . .
    Jack broke the curse.

    I was told to beware the accursed spindle, but it was so enchanting, so hypnotic. . . .

    I was looking for a little adventure the day I ditched my tour group. But finding a comatose town, with a hot-looking chick asleep in it, was so not what I had in mind.

    I awakened in the same place but in another time—to a stranger's soft kiss.

    I couldn't help kissing her. Sometimes you just have to kiss someone. I didn't know this would happen.

    Now I am in dire trouble because my father, the king, says I have brought ruin upon our country. I have no choice but to run away with this commoner!

    Now I'm stuck with a bratty princess and a trunk full of her jewels. . . . The good news: My parents will freak!

    Think you have dating issues? Try locking lips with a snoozing stunner who turns out to be 316 years old. Can a kiss transcend all—even time?

Beastly was a piece of pure genius and I can't wait to get a copy of Bewitching in my hands. I love your imagination and I hope to one day be as an accomplished author as you.

Beastly was an amazing book, but the movie did not meet my expectations. Sorry.
