Laurel was mesmerized, staring at the pale things with wide eyes. They were terrifyingly beautifultoo beautiful for words. Laurel turned to the mirror again, her eyes on the hovering petals that floated beside her head. They looked almost like wings. In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.

Sorry #plc I didn‘t realise I had forgotten to review this one. I found this cool fanart for the book online.

It was okay, there was good action but as @ElizaMarie said it felt way too YA and I definitely think we‘ve read much better books. The love interests were neither particularly amazing and while I loved the idea of blossoming it was hard to imagine. #paranormallovecrew

I love this cover!

There were parts I really enjoyed, and the way the author has interpreted fairies is great. But it didn‘t capture my interest in the same way as other books. It was easy to read, and action was there, but I never felt compelled to continue reading.

So it was good, but not something I will continue with despite how cool the blossom thing is! I also have a love/hate relationship with love triangles…

Mrs_B That is a great cover and good review. 3y

🌷It wasn't really “for me“. I mean it was cute. And I normally enjoy YA but... it was too YA I think, or too YA for this time? 🌷I wouldn't mind the whole flying aspect of it but.. overall, no. 🌷

Bookworm54 I couldn‘t think of any, and then remembered all the amazing animated films with fairies… so I still can‘t decide! As well as the usual Disney films, Fern Gully and Thumbelina have some great fairies (the ones in the black cauldron are a bit grumpy but I could watch that film all day too!) 4y

❤ I feel like from books/stories I hear about fairies they aren't good to be friends with. Like aren't they sneaky? Unless its Fern Gully Fairies :) ❤ Sounds way too hard. I am more of a spectator instead of a trainer. ❤

This one was cute.. But I think it was too cutesy and not enough romance for my liking (even though I rarely like romance). Anyway, I recommend it however I feel like I will not pick up the next one in quite some time (if I ever do)

“I can see why you opted out of Knight training,” I countered. “They‘d have ‘accidentally‘ killed you before you made it to adulthood.”
― Jenna Black, Glimmerglass

Would you befriend a fairy?

Would you want to go through Knight Training?

#ParanormalLoveCrew #PLC

Bookworm54 It would depend on the kind of fairy… it would be hard to navigate friendship with the fairies that you can‘t thank, or accept food or drink from etc! And I don‘t know what knight training is, sounds like it could be fun… but also maybe too tough and boot campy for me? 4y
ElizaMarie @Bookworm54 I hear you! Save the knight training to the way more fit! I can barely “can't think of something witty right there“. Also, I agree. Aren't fairies supposed to be shifty? 4y

MaleficentBookDragon Do you have tracking for this month‘s #cbbc 📦? I hope nothing happened to it. 🤞 4y
ElizaMarie @MaleficentBookDragon I am so so sorry! I just send it out today. I had been feeling under the weather, then when I was feeling better and getting ready to send it I had a huge migraine (been in bed for ht last 2 days). So I am super super sorry that it's late :( 4y

ElizaMarie @Avanders I got it thanks. I have been so sick that I was unable to function or use screens. So I totally apologize for being a bad #CBBC member this month :( 4y
Avanders Oh no! I hope you‘re feeling better! No worries on posting - it happens to all of us sometimes! 🤗😘 4y
ElizaMarie @Avanders I had been in bed almost all week. I mean the migraine was the last two days but I had been feeling nauseated and horrible for a few days now. Its been so hard to even sit upright! 4y
MaleficentBookDragon @ElizaMarie no worries! I get migraines so I know how rough it can be. I was just checking to make sure it didn‘t disappear from my porch. I‘ll keep my eye out for it. I hope you start to feel better. 4y
ElizaMarie @MaleficentBookDragon Thanks. I am feeling much better. I basically just drugged myself and slept. It didn't “help“ the migraine but .. it let me knock out a bit through one. 4y

Is someone behind me??? Where did this kid come from? Oh right, he's my little devil! He likes to fall asleep in my bed. He's a mama's boy... both my kids are.
Ok now that my exercise time and shower are done, I can finally relax alittle before I pass out. #MomLife is great!!! Don't mind my crazy Lazy Eye or my chin pimples.

This weekend, I want to subject a few digital freebies to the 3-chapter test. Unfortunately, this one didn‘t pass. The opening pays so much attention to the minutiae of American high school life that it lacks a sense of pace or place. While I‘m sure the right reader‘ll find it super relatable, that‘s really not my thing.

But hey, my coffee was delicious! I blended the last of the cream and a bit of caramel sauce with some regular milk. #20in4

Oh I just loved this story! I fell in love with Laurel! I find Aprilynne to be a really ready to read author. It‘s another I read a while ago, and I‘m about half way through the series! Can not wait to read the rest!

The story was very sweet. It's the first book in the series. It introduces the reader to a hidden world and the beginning of an innocent love triangle. I enjoyed reading about Laurel and watching her learn about her origin and secrets that her home hides. I'm glad my friends recommend it to me. I would recommend it to anyone.

"His eyes caught her attention first. They were a bright blue contrasted with the olive tone of his skin. The color looked out of place, but not in a bad way. Kind of exotic."

New book! I'm starting the Wings Series. I don't know much about it only that my friends read it in high school and loved it. Let's see how it goes~

Interesting tale about faeries. I like how the faeries are depicted in this book. I will say this book needed more action. I would give this book three out of five stars.
