Bewitching

Holy smoke!

These words are an understatement. How can I possibly forget? It's been three years since I started blogging and I can't believe that I actually didn't post the last book that I have read. A book which was written by one of my favourite authors, Alex Flinn! I have already posted some of her works in here,but, to miss one? I.cannot.myself. And here I thought, I managed to do every one of them. *sighs

Takes a deep breath and composes oneself. Nevertheless, better late than never (This excuse is so over used. I know. Sorry ^__^)

This time, we will go into the world of the famous witch who turned Kyle Kingsbury a beastly: Kendra Hilferty.

......

......

Beastly was just one of her curses.

Cloaked

The third book of Alex Flinn's modern fairy tale.

"She'll wrap you in magic."

A Kiss In Time

" Only love can break the curse"

......

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess with golden hair. She could have anything she desires. When she was bout a child she remembered they were not allowed to utter the word "spindle" and even the whole kingdom was banned for having a spindle.

Hence, the princess didn't know what it is. As she was gifted with beauty, grace, musical talent and intelligence by the good ole fairies. The princess was a spoiled brat. She was used to getting her way.

Concerned by her actions, the king and queen were worried about her. Especially when a certain witch cast a spell on their dearly beloved - spoiled- princess.

" Before she reached her sixteenth birthday. She will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and the kingdom will fall into a deep sleep and will fade away deep from the forest away from the view."

So, what happens when the princess disobeyed and didn't heed the warning?

The entire Kingdom fell into a deep sleep.

......

In a hundred years passed, the princess woke up from her slumber with a kiss.  The entire kingdom was finally awake.

What turns out to be a happy beginning becomes a disaster when they find out that torches are now replaced with flashlights? The carriages are now cars ? not to mention you can call and hear other peoples voice  through the means of a mobile phone? Blaming the princess for her disobedience, the outraged King banished the princess.

In the strange new land, the princess was exiled along with her so-called- prince, who was also on his own struggle of running away from what his parents want him to be and following his dreams .

One was running away.

The other was trying to escape.

Would they help each other out?

More importantly..Is he her true love?

......

In this retelling story of "Sleeping Beauty" here's another twist that are all set in the modern era.

Beastly

"Love is never ugly"

......

Who said that love can only exist between two good looking people?

Who said that you can have love only if you're rich?

Who said that you can sell love?

Who said that you can buy love?

These are some of the questions we came acroos every now and then. So, let's add another one. 

Do you believe in witches? In magic? How about true love?

Hmmm...does it sound too familiar? If not, then let me give you a sneak peak of a story. A story, about a boy who does not know what love really is and a simple girl.

......

In New York City, lives Kyle Kingsbury. A boy who has the looks, the money and even the fame. But, looks can be deceiving. Looks isn't everything. On the outside, he is tall, blonde, rich. Most school girls were after him, but, on the inside he's rotten. He does a lot of mean things to people he calls "ugly". Kyle Kingsbury has it all. He rules the school. He's confident. He thinks he is so perfect. He thinks everything can be solved with good looks and money. Or so he thought...

"Never mess with a girl" that's what they say,and yet, Kyle ignores the warning. How about "Never mess with a witch?" who are you kidding right? In the 21st century, witches no longer exist. Or so he thought. Again. He was warned once not to make things so easy for her. He laughed it off. She gave him a chance. He let it go. So now, she gave him---comeupance.

"You are ugly now, on the inside, where it matters most. You are a beastly."

He has two years to break the curse.

He has two years to find true love.

To love him for what he is.

To love him for who he is.

But...

Who could ever love a...beast?

......

This is the story of a modern day fairy tale of "Beauty and the Beast".
