Hannah Lawrence has just accepted a new job as the manager of hair salon
in a replica of a castle. She spends the weekend with the owner’s brother, a
builder working on finalizing the construction before opening day.
Tate Browning adores his sister and will do anything for her, even
building her a castle for her hair dressing salon. Unfortunately he’s not so
keen on her best friend, a witch, and ends up getting cursed.
But spending a weekend with Hannah is not such a bad thing at all.
This
fractured fairy tale is actually quite a clever and engaging little story, but
it almost lost me right at the start, when the hero describes his own clothes
(no real hero would do this), then someone else describes them again (so please
delete the previous description!).
The artist
is referred to as Jackson Pollack, but a 0.27 second check with Google would
have shown both the author and the editor it’s actually Jackson Pollock. Those
kind of errors are sheer laziness by both author and editor.
However,
once the story gets moving it is fun, interesting and worth reading. All the
characters are fascinating people with great little quirks and details given
about them, and the fairy tale is neatly woven into the modern day storyline.
So it’s
actually worth sticking with this book past chapter one and enjoying the tale.
This is an objective review and not
an endorsement of this book.
