What if all the fairy tales are real?
What if you were one of them?
When Madilynn turned seventeen, her parents dropped a big, ancient-looking book in her lap and said to open it by herself. Madilynn almost wishes she hadn't, when it reveals she is a descendant of a fairy tale, and her parents tell her it's time for her to attend Lost Time Academy...
Being thrown into a world that is literally full of fairy tales, the last thing she expects is to see the four guys she grew up with!
Four guys who have grown from boys to now geeky, dark, passionate men who rule the Academy… and they never forgot Madilynn...
Time makes all tales come true, including the dark ones...
This book was a bit weird. I was digging it for a bit then it got too weird for me and I just finished it because I was close to the end. I didn’t want to DNF it at 90% ya know? I skimmed the rest.
It started out a bit fast and I wasn’t really invested in Madi enough to care about her when she got to school. So that kinda followed throughout the rest of the story. I was honestly waiting for the juicy bits but those were absent in this one. (probably a slow burner, and while I like them sometimes, I didn’t like it this time) I found the telling to not be equal to the showing. Which is a huge pet peeve of mine.
This book didn’t really deliver in the end either, I like when cliffhangers have some resolution butthis one didn’t give me that. All those little things added up so I won’t be reading anymore in this series.
