My Review:
A modern twist on a tale we all know and love, Charming is a modern day Cinderella story.
Sixteen year old Haley Tremaine once had it all - the fairytale life. A great family, the best of friends, a prestigious school and a boyfriend who she loved. Haley's future shined brightly ahead until it all fell to pieces. Now poor Haley has a mother who has passed away, a father who has turned to alcohol and a sister who is as bitter as cider.
Chris Charming, is the son of a powerful CEO with a trouble making reputation. Anything Chris wants, Chris gets. The one thing he wants more than anything though is Haley.
In the scheme of things someone is out to bring Haley and Chris together, even if it leads to murder.
Can Haley let her guard down and accept that sometimes good things happen? Can she ever be with a guy who has everything that she once had? And most importantly can she learn to trust Chris?
Author Krystal Wade leaves readers on the edge of their seats with this suspenseful book that has so many twists and turns you never know what will happen next. Charming is a book that you need to carve out time for because once you start reading, you can't stop. Page by page Charming brings you in to their world of Haley and Chris and has you second guessing everything. With so many ways this story can end up, the one question that stays firm in your mind is "Who is Haley's demented fairy godmother?"
Charming has it's share of dark moments and themes, but all in all it is a wonderfully written book that draws you in with it's Saw meets Cinderella meets The Fault In Our Stars. With romance and horror a like, Charming is a book that tilts your world onto it's axis.
Charming is a FIVE STAR book that tops my 2014 Best Reads list.
AUTHOR BIO
Krystal Wade is happily married to the love of her life (don’t gag) and raising three beautiful children in the gorgeous state of Virginia. They live just outside Washington, D.C., and every day she wakes up to find herself stuck in traffic trying to get there.
The horrid commute gives Krystal plenty of time to zone out and think about her characters in full, brilliant details (she’s a safe driver; don’t worry). Stories give her a way to forget about the sometimes smelly strangers sitting next to her on the fifty mile trek into town (she picks up hitchhikers every day. True story. Check out www.slug-lines.com if you don’t believe us).
Krystal has been a part of organized hitchhiking for nearly fifteen years, but that’s just one small aspect of her oh-so-large life. When she’s not working, commuting, or chasing after her three children (four if you count the man), you can usually find Krystal outside talking to her chickens like they’re the cutest things in the world (they are), or training her amazing dogs how to herd said chickens (which they love), or curled up on the sofa with a good book (why can’t that be 100% of the time?).
