The Evil Queen
Author: Gena Showalter
Publisher: Harlequin
ISBN: 1488034273
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 559
Book Description
Once Upon a Time meets Game of Thrones in New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter’s magical, romantic dark fantasy series, in which the fairy tales we know and love are prophecies of the future. Welcome to the Forest of Good and Evil, where villains may be heroes and heroes may be villains…it all depends on who you ask. In the realm of Enchantia, creatures of legend still exist, magic is the norm, and fairy tales are real. Raised in the human world, Everly Morrow has no idea she’s a fairy-tale princess—until she begins to commune with mirrors. Soon, a horrifying truth is revealed. She is fated to be Snow White’s greatest enemy, the Evil Queen. With powers beyond her imagination or control, Everly returns to the land of her birth. There, she meets Roth Charmaine, the supposed Prince Charming. Their attraction is undeniable, but their relationship is doomed. As Everly faces disasters and betrayals, giving in to her wicked side proves more tempting. Can she resist, or will she become the villain she was born to be? Critics love The Evil Queen: “Showalter (the Everlife books) delivers an entertaining series opener that condemns prejudice while championing self-determination. Romance-sweet and steamy, gay and straight-features prominently, action and humor abound, and the mystery of how each character figures into the legend imparts intrigue.”—Publishers Weekly “The novel's conceit has a lot of potential with its deconstruction of a cherished fairy tale, an interesting take on good and evil as actions rather than fate, and a long cast of characters in ever evolving roles that will leave readers wondering who they are supposed to be.”—Kirkus Reviews The Forest of Good and Evil Series: The Evil Queen The Glass Queen

Pages : 564
Book Description
Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to an incredible author's talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young, compassionate Padriac. But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, who alone is destined to defend her family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift. To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss, and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always known and a love that comes only once. Juliet Marillier is a rare talent, a writer who can imbue her characters and her story with such warmth, such heart, that no reader can come away from her work untouched.

“Do you believe in ghosts?” Working at Haunted Hollow Scream Park was supposed to be just another Halloween gig for Ben Mercer, but when he meets Theo Hawthorne—the park’s serious and buttoned-up event coordinator—he quickly realizes this job might hold more thrills than he bargained for. For Theo, running Haunted Hollow is his chance to make the season unforgettable. He’s focused on pulling off the perfect event, but Ben’s irresistible charm and laid-back attitude are a distraction he didn’t plan for. Just as their chemistry starts to heat up, they stumble upon a ghost trapped in the park’s haunted forest—a restless spirit whose tragic death decades ago has cursed the land. As Theo and Ben grow closer, so does the danger. The deeper they dig into the spirit’s past, the more violent it becomes, threatening not just the park, but their chance at love. With Halloween night fast approaching, Theo and Ben must work together to help the ghost move on before Haunted Hollow becomes their final resting place. Making It Wicked is the eighth book in the Making It series, and like the others, it’s filled to the brim with tropes such as forced proximity, opposites attract, and a tortured spirit seeking peace.
