Sleeping Beauty and the Beast by Melissa Lemon

*I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review*

          This book, I thought, was genius! The combination of these two classic fairy tales is done in such a neat way. Where else can you find a girl as the beast?
          We start by meeting the witch who sets the whole thing in motion. From there, the story unfolds where we meet twin princes. One falls for the sleeping princess of Cray. The other, a savage who lived among the barbarians. For the sleeping princess to wake, the savage must be saved by the princess's brother. One problem... she had no brother. Can these girls be saved?
          A fun read with a great story, I would recommend to all looking for something sweet! Plus... who doesn't love a little romance?

Risking It All For Love by Kimberly Montpetit



                              *I received this book for free in return for my honest opinion*


            As a small Christmas themed novella... I was a little skeptical at first. But this had true heart put into each and every word. Plus, I am now ready to go for the holidays!
            Jessica Mason did what most of us would do if something tragic happened, she ran. She ran from home, from her past, and from her feelings. She reluctantly agrees to come home for Christmas after three years of refusing to. What she finds is she's missed a lot. Including a new guy in town who is just bent on helping her. But will she let him in? Or will she shut him out like she's done to everyone else?

Owlet by Emma Michaels




  *I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion*

          Owlet is definitely a one of a kind book. This unique read was short and enjoyable, and I can't wait for the next installment. But first, it all starts with a girl named Iris.
           Iris grew up with asthma, confined to her home. Her father loved her dearly, and her helper Diana did as well. Iris always believed her mother had died of childbirth, always blaming herself for her mother's passing. But when her father has Diana take her to an island that she has often dreamed about, secrets start unraveling. The truth is sometimes a harsh thing. A few quick turns and you might not be able to get your bearings. Unless there's someone to guide you. Especially a someone who has loved you for all his life.
           I enjoyed the story, though sometimes finding it a little confusing or muddled. It is truly like nothing I have ever read before. And the next in the "Society of Feathers" sounds just as intriguing... I give this 4 stars in my book!
