7: The Charmed Return

I was eagerly awaiting this book and, with some extra money, I purchased it. The first five books in the series were quick reads that I picked it The Charmed Return (by Frewin Jones) expecting to be done with the last book in the series by the next morning. Whether it was because of obligations (*cough* school* cough *work* cough*) or the fast that I'm older now than when I started the series (My gads- Still can't believe I'm TWENTY-TWO!!!) I didn't finish the story very fast.

The Charmed Return opens with Anita Palmer, a supposedly normal sixteen-year-old girl  until she goes downstairs and her mother informs her that she is the fairy princess Tania- seventh daughter of Oberon and Titania- and has spent the last nine weeks in the land of Faerie. Unbelieving, she goes in search of answers that made more sense which leads her to her friend Jade. The arrival of Edric and sister Rathina confirms her mother stories and soon the four- counting Jade- return to Faerie to rid the land of the dreadful plague that had befallen them.

All in all it was still a good read. 4 out of 5 stars!!! I take points away- sorry Mr. Jones- for the huge cliffhanger at the END OF THE SERIES. Good news is that there is a supposed novella being posted on his website sometime in the year. I will be sure to review it as soon as humanly possible.
