different type of fairy tale, but great none the less!!
well who said all endings should be fairy tale endings?? well this book makes you believe in second times around. Your loving and rooting for one character then you wish him the best but root for the other. It is a sad ending which i think we would all have liked if it was a bit longer, but none the less it was a good read, the main female character sounds a little selfish through out the book but towards the end you feel sorry for her and how her life is going. all said and done it was a pleasent read which i would recommend.

Great book!!
I really enjoyed Cyn Balog's story,characters and writing style. Morgan was such a fun character and loved her mother. Anyone would be lucky to fall for Cameron or Pip. I look forward to reading more of Cyn's books.

Morgan Sparks and her boyfriend, Cam, have been together forever, basically. She knows they are perfect for each other, and nothing can break them apart. Then Pip, Cam's "cousin," comes to stay with him, and Cam is suddenly different.
When Cam finally fesses up, he reveals to Morgan that he is a fairy. He and Pip were switched at birth, and Cam's biological brother died. Now Cam is the rightful heir as Fairy King.
Morgan wants nothing more than to be with Cam forever. But he is physically changing, and Morgan can't help but think maybe he should leave.
This debut novel was absolutely stunning. I wasn't sure what to expect, seeing how it is about a male fairy, which is kind of strange. But I fell in love with it. I loved everything about it. I didn't want it to end, though.
I loved Morgan's character, but she did bug me sometimes. I couldn't decide who I liked better between Cam and Pip, but I think I choose Pip, because of the way he spoke.
I recommend FAIRY TALE to everyone. It is amazing.2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

a lovely book
fairy tale is one of my favorite fantasy books! its an awesome story about a girl that lives a happy average/normal life in high school with a nice and ecstatic best friend, a gift for seeing what is goin to happen in the future, and has the one thing that every girl in her school wants: the most popular guy in school! and he is just perfect for her in every way, well a little too perfect! because he's been acting very strange every since his "cousin" comes to stay with him! and she fears that her boyfriend is hiding something from her!
this book has adventure, teenage love, and many secrets! this book will forever be one of my all time favorite books!2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Magical, Romantic, and Witty!
I'll be honest-- when I first saw the cover for this book earlier this year, I fell in love with it-- or lust, since the original title (which was soon changed, why, I have no clue!) was Fairy Lust. The cover art caught my eye, and the summary finished drawing me in. Fairies, forbidden love, a possible love triangle... really, what about that doesn't sound interesting?
I don't even know where to start-- over all, this book was great, truly an interesting (and unique) story. Did it have it's flaws? Sure, but what book doesn't. But there were only a few things about the book that bothered me (mainly the way that the characters acted/spoke during a few parts of the books, they seemed more like whiny teenagers than the strong characters I prefer in my books, but in the end, they managed to straighten up a bit), and none of these flaws were enough to make me dislike the book in any way. Instead, I've been captivated by Balog's writing, and I'm anxious to see more from this promising new author. Really, if this debut is this good, can you imagine what future books will be like? Wow!
Back to the book-- the plot was good, and it really made me stop and think: what would you do if the love of your life suddenly told you he was a fairy? And what if he was going to leave for the other side to be King of the fairies in only a handful of days? What would you do, how would you react? And to make it even more complicated, what if the guy who's suppose to take his spot back on Earth starts attracting your attention-- is it okay to fall for the man replacing your boyfriend, even if there's no other way for it to work out? Morgan's life is thrown into instant turmoil, and I can't say I envy her having to deal with it all!
Despite all these troubles, Morgan must continue her everyday life like nothing is wrong-- after all, she can't exactly ask her parents or friends for help, can you imagine trying to explain that your boyfriend, the All-American boy for the town, football star and all around tough-guy, is now a fairy, wasting away before your eyes, while no one else can see the fairy changes going on? She'd be locked up in the mental hospital quicker than she can say 'Tinker Bell'! Add to this the fact that Morgan has a unique talent: she can see visions of people's futures, except for Cam's, which is explained when she finds out his secret, of course.
As far as the characters go, at the beginning, I was all for Cam-- he seemed like a sweet guy, yet masculine enough to satisfy the 'strong male' role that I so love in my romances. The connection between Morgan and Cam was there, and it was one of those 'aw' kind of moments, since they've been together from a very young age, from elementary crush to high school sweethearts. But as soon as Pip, the human baby stolen 16 years ago and taken to Fairy, comes into the story, and we learn more about him and watch as he tries to figure out this bizarre world and fit in, I found myself leaning more towards Pip instead of Cam....And so does Morgan!
I'm not surprised that Morgan had such a hard time deciding, I know I would have. Which would you choose, the one you've known and loved all your life or the new boy who's making you blush and laugh over the simplest things? ....

I absolutely loved it!
I picked up this book for a light read. It doesn't take long to read because it is short and extremely good (and slightly addicting). The plot seemed unique and like it had much thought. Although, it seemed like the characters Cam and Morgan were unrealistic. (The things they said and always seemed a little off to me.) I would recommend this book to someone who's looking for something to read just for fun. It doesn't involve much thought and it's really fun to read!

Can't Get Enough
This is an amazing book about a girl who has the best boyfriend in the world. Then he starts acting weird. Soon she figures out that he's a fairy and he doesn't even belong here. The fairy king sent him away because he was sick and couldn't take the thrown. Well now they know that he is ok and they want him back because his older brother, died. I can't say anymore about the book. I dont wanna spoil it for you ;] I just Can't Get Enough !

Didn't like it.
I was not pulled in to this book from the begining, but gave it the benifit of a doubt. So, after a few chapters of still being bored I skipped ahead and found that I could still follow along with what was going on. I felt that I was't really missing anything. Ended up not finishing the book.

I expected a lot more from this book. The characters were predictable and flat. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Worst book I've EVER read!
I'm fourteen, and I've read well over 5000 books. This is by FAR the worst piece of literature ever. The concept is great (that's what hooks the reader), but the execution is dreadful. The only reason I finished this book is because I wanted to see how it ends. The ending was like out of nowhere, completely irrelevent. The author's writing style is crude and unrealistic. She uses many words that should be given 15+ instead of ages 12 and up. You may notice that I put 5 stars for discussion...yes to discuss what the author did wrong, when. Again, the characters are not likeable, and Cam (who is called charming and devonaire on several occasions), to me is a total jerk not worth keeping around. Read this book if you want a good laugh. Do yourself a favor: Pick up Secrets of My Hollywood Life or Harry Potter.

Pass this one by
This book was aweful. I think the writing style of this book was absolutely horrible. I almost couldn't stand to read it, but I did hoping the style would change. To me it seems that the author was trying a too hard to sound like a teenager. It was obnoxious.
The characters seemed to lack development. I never felt a connection with them nor did I feel much far them. I think Morgan was supposed to come across as strong however she came across to me as a snob and I could not bring myself to like her. We are told again and again of Cam's charm however I fail to see it. Edon does not seem like the best friend but an obnoxious little sister. As for Pip...I don't want to ruin the ending for anyone who might still read this. All I'll say is he doesn't inspire much feeling, good or bad.
The one (and ONLY) good thing I can say about this book is that the ending is unpredictable. But it's hard to even care enough about how the characters end up. Do yourself a favor and skip this book. If you want a good book in this genre try Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr, Lament by Maggie Stiefvater, or even Wings by Aprilynne Pike.1 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book was ok
I read all kinds of books, and when I saw the cover in the bookstore I thought that it looked interesting. I read the synopsis and it made me a little curious, I mean, opening a fortune cookie with that kind of message? Who would'nt be curious? So i bought it. When I took it home and started reading it, I thought it was just ok. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. It didnt get into enough detail about the fairies that would make me wonder about a second book, but then again maybe it wasn't suppose to. Fairy Tale was predictable, there wasn't much surprise. So overall I think that the book is just ok.

ok...
This read was a struggle for me, because of the akwardness of the book. I feel that the character Morgan was giving out mixed signals throughout the book. I also wondered if there is going to be a sequel to this book because the ending left room for there to be one.
