Morgan Sparks and Cam Browne seem like the perfect couple. They’ve known each other since first grade and they even have the same birthday. Unbeknownst to Morgan, her perfect world is about to be turned upside down when Cam’s weird cousin Pip arrives in town and declares that Cam is the Fairy King. Cam has trouble accepting this news and the changes that come with them, but he vows to do everything in his power to stay with Morgan.
What will Morgan do to maintain her perfect world with Cam? How far will she go for True Love?
This is Cyn Balog’s debut novel and it’s totally addictive as I could not stop turning the pages. The characters in Fairy Tale are quite interesting. The story is told in first person by Morgan and I enjoyed experiencing the story through her eyes. She’s smart and witty and I found myself constantly laughing throughout this book. My favorite character is Pip, he’s loyal and trustworthy not to mention he makes a complete transformation and goes from gawky weird to Total Hotness!
Cyn did a fantastic job with the writing. The plot was totally different from what I expected reading the synopsis. The story is original with unexpected twists and Cyn did a great job pulling this story off. I can say I never would have guessed the ending reading the synopsis, but I’m happy to say it left me quite pleased. How can you not root for True Love?
If you’re looking for a good summer read, pick up Fairy Tale!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
I really want to read Fairy Tale because it's getting excellent reviews and also just sounds amazing. Fairies, but with a twist, as it's not the girl who's the fairy. Thanks for the great review!
