Reviews
I read this book 11 times!!!
5By fdidbtginhjThis is my all time favorite book, has been for three years! These characters are so relatable, and not to mention hilarious! Some people don’t want all romance in one book, others all romance for them, but this is a perfect combination of literally everything you need. I have some sentences in this book even memorized by heart. I would pay so much more than this book is actually worth, I cried when the series ended. Best book ever is all I want to tell you, and believe me when I say you will LOVE this book.UTTERLY HILARIOUS

5By Half upon a timeI loved how it had a fairy tale theme with the same characters. But I thought that the ending was extremely confusing and with her grandmother and the wicked witch and who is who. I thought it was amazing all the way throughAmazing

5By Dragon Village is Awesome!Holy cow! I have read some pretty awesome books, but this is it the top ten. Wow! I couldn't take my eyes off of it! I finished it in two days, then got supper upset when I reached the end because it was such a cliffhanger. Then five days later I bought the second book and finished it in 12 hours. I was up from 1 at night to 7:30am reading it. And another cliffhanger... Come on, James Riley! Get the third out here so I can read it! Wait, I need ITunes money first. Never mind, take your time and make it good!great book!!!!!
