3.5
This book is so silly, with a lot of raunchy humor. It’s a fun take on The Wizard of Oz if you like ridiculous shenanigans. There were some plot holes and continuity errors, but it’s a good read if you want something light that will make you laugh.
This book derives its characters from the famous Wizard of Oz. The main protagonist here is the wicked witch of the East. And true to the original plot, Dorothy’s house falls on her and Dorothy takes away her Ruby slippers. But there is only one difference, she escapes.
She is all set to take revenge on Dorothy. And Dorothy wants to get rid of her. One fine day, three handsome men along with a strip club they were in, drop in the village. Dorothy promises them a safe passage home if they find and kill the wicked witch. The wicked witch plans to get them first, and she disguises herself as a damsel in distress and follows them in their journey to Emerald City on the yellow brick road. who gets who forms the crux of the story.
For the good part, the book brought back memories of the Wizard of Oz. Plenty of characters and descriptions are borrowed from there. The Wicked witch of East is outright humorous and humor floods throughout her dialogues and the book.
What I did not like is over the top sexiness in the book. It could have been made a whole lot imaginative rather than several parts of the book describing the sex encounters of all the characters.
Somehow, I could not connect with the plot itself, I personally felt it could have been chalked out a lot better.
Overall, it’s a fast and funny read, with an interesting setting.
My Pretty (Mischief Matchmakers Book 1) by Madeline Fay. I love this author. Her writing is the best. Its the story of a witch who everyone thinks is wicked and evil but she’s not but if that’s what they want to believe then that’s what she will give them. When 3 handsome men drop into her world from a tornado, which is somehow her fault and they are told if they get rid of the wicked witch they can go home. That’s her! Her plan is to disguise herself and lead them along the yellow brick road to Emerald City. Will she make it out alive? This is the most fun I’ve had reading in a long time. My Pretty is a fun quick read and it will make you laugh out loud. Do yourself a favor and read it today!
In this twist of “The Wizard of Oz,” we get the witch’s side of the story. In this book, she believes Dorothy ruined her normal witchy life. Turning her people against her, making them believe she was evil and wicked but she was made to be that way and not the other way around. She’ll give the people their heart’s desire as their worst nightmares come true.
With a tornado, three handsome men only the witch is left to blame. Dorothy promises to help the men find their way home as long as they go after the witch. The chase is on from there as she pretends to need their help in disguise. She’s out to get them before they get her.
I liked this book because it’s a different take on a classic. I loved how it was unpredictable and funny at the same time. I enjoyed this as it took us to a different yet familiar place.

My Pretty is the first book in the Mischief Matchmakers series, and my first read by Madeline Fay. Wow! This is definitely not what I was expecting at all- in a fun way. This was so much more than I imagined- and I loved Madeline Fay’s original twist to the classic “Wizard of Oz”.
Put aside everything you thought you knew about the ‘Wizard of Oz’- things are not what they seemed then. We get East’s perspective here, and she casts a whole new light on the story. The heroine we thought we knew from the original, may not be what we were told. And the ‘villain’ of old will be seen in a whole new light.
This is a crazy, zany, hilarious, sexy, erotic, laugh-out-loud little gem that kept me entertained from beginning till end. Whilst a little corny in places, the superb character/s, and fantastic, fun, and hilarious story really won me over- it’s not one I will soon forget, that’s for sure. But be warned, this is an erotic retelling- a reverse harem story that takes us on an adults only romp through Oz.
It was a great introduction to Madeline Fay’s work, and I will definitely be hunting down more of her work to explore in the very near future.
Can’t wait to see what awaits us in Book #2!
Thank you, Madeline Fay!
This is the first book I have read from this author and wow she blew me away. I absolutely love fantasy but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book from the Mischief Matchmakers series. This was a perfect start to an amazing series. I absolutely loved this book. It is a very crazy spin on The Wizard of Oz and I loved it. I was hooked right from the beginning. I could not put it down so I read this book straight through. I’m so excited to see what is next for this series.
East is wicked and a little bit green. She was having a normal life until a twister came and brought Dorothy. Dorothy turned all of East’s people against her. Now they call her the wicked witch of the East so she terrorizes the city. East now has to hide in her castle. One day three beautiful men drop from the sky. East is upset when these men come after her for the power to go home. Little does the men know East is watching every move they are making. Will East be able to get her city back or will she have to stay hidden forever?
Madeline Fay is a new author to me and I actually decided to read the book by the cover. I am not that type of reader. I found that I needed this humor at this point. The characters are fun and interesting. The story mimics L. Frank Baum famous book series. I have a new interpretation of those great characters. The story has a humorous side from the Wicked Witch’s point of view. The adventure is waiting for you to take. The twists and turns keep the pages turning and you find some funny situations. It is a light hearted story that I love to read in these crazy times.
Oh how I love paranormal romance stories, especially witchy stories.
The main character is obviously the witch of the story. She is very misunderstood, and everyone labels her as a wicked witch, but she knows deep down she is not all these things people say.
But one day 3 men land in her life with the goal of getting rid of her, will they succeed in their goal with the budding romance forming between them all?
This book was very well done and thought out. I most definitely recommend!
My Pretty by Madeline Fay is the first book in the Mischief Matchmakers series. This is a great new telling of such a classic story.
The author has done a brilliant job of putting her own stamp on this well known tale. It was entertaining and amusing. The characters were all engaging, especially the wicked witch. I really liked reading about her character.
This is a new author to me and she has definitely caught my attention with the way she has written this book. It was fun and lively and definitely worth the read. I am looking forward to discovering more of this authors work.
I thoroughly enjoyed this read, it makes a change to read a spin on Wizard of Oz, it’s been created into a world that is full of twists and turns, steaminess & humour. I loved the storyline and the creativity of it all, Madeline Fay has not only created a mentally visual read but she has created some unforgettable characters. I loved following the journey of our main character, they were strong characters that you couldn’t help but root for and hope they come out on the other side. This was a brilliant fantasy read full of adventure that kept me turning the pages! I’m so glad that got to read it and I can’t wait to experience more from this author.

One of my favourite movies is The Wizard of Oz. The author gave an imaginative twist and turned it into a deliciously awesome original. I definitely had fun reading this book. It’s full of surprises and comic relief. Sometimes it’s a little over the top but I think that just adds to its quirkiness. There were characters that made me laugh out loud. Muahaha!! This is the first book I have read by Madeline Fay. I think she’s crazy and I love her. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more books from her.
From the very start of this book I was intrigued, Madeline caught my attention and kept it through till the end and left me wanting more. I absolutely devoured this book in one sitting, and would absolutely do it again! This is a story about lust, love, and pain, with quite a few hilarious interactions. I fell in love with East and the boys immediately, the characters in this book are written flawlessly. I hope to read more by Madeline Fay in the future!
“But when I felt trapped in my own mind, her voice became an anchor, pulling me out.”
I have always loved the tale of the Wizard of Oz, and this one is no exception. I have found this novel to be funny, compelling, complex and incredibly well written. I love that this story is the Witch of the East’s story, and vilifies Dorothy, which is very different from the classic tale. There is a deeply sexual undercurrent to the whole story which spices it up and electrifies it. I have never once thought about what the Witch’s life might have looked like before Dorothy arrived in Oz and it’s surprising to see what she likes and how she lives, but it is also comforting to know that she is still a person, with a heart, feelings and thoughts, not just someone completely evil and while she may have evil tendencies, she is still just a woman seeking affection and company. This has quickly become one of my favourite novels and I can’t wait to see if there are more.

This is a Paranormal Reverse Harem Romance by Madeline Fay and it is a standalone story in the ‘Mischief Matchmakers’ series. It is a unique take on The Wizard of Oz, where the ‘Wicked Witch’, ‘East’ is the main character, however as the first sentence of the book says, it is not a story for children, and it does have some steamy ménage sex scenes.
In this fun hilarious story East is the heroine and Dorothy is the villain, it has some real laugh out loud parts and features some very funny and original characters. The romance is between East and three men who turn up following a tornado. Leon, Titan and Crew meet who they believe to be a damsel in distress who helps them find the Emerald city but it is really East in disguise. Meanwhile Dorothy has ordered the three men to kill the ‘Wicked Witch of the East’. During the journey, with East hiding her green face with magic the four fall first in lust and then in love with each other. Following the reveal of who the damsel really is and a misunderstanding the story does have a happy ending.
This is a light hearted easy read written from the four main characters point of view which works well. The chemistry between East, Leon, Titan and Crew sizzles off the page and there are some hot and steamy parts to the story. A very funny and unique story which I really enjoyed especially as it had me laughing throughout the book.
5 Star
My Pretty (Mischief Matchmakers Book 1) by Madeline Fay is a Fantasy/ Romance that I couldn’t put down till I finished. I absolutely loved this book and found myself giggling most of the time while reading. This is a fun twist on the Classic Wizard of Oz. It grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept it till the end. There were moments I wanted to slap Dorothy but I freaking loved the character East. This is a must read. I look forward to reading more from this Author and series.
I won’t lie I had absolutely no clue what I was going to get with My Pretty by Madeline Fay. Fay is a new author to me and this book really grabbed my attention with the cover and the promise of some polyamory type love trysts with a splash of comedy. I personally love the original Oz and could never watch it enough so this was a nice twist to the fanfiction idea of revisiting Oz.
With this one we found characters not quite having the same ideals or characteristics as the originals with I absolutely loved even when I thought it would make me mad. These characters are so so so much fun! I adored the Wicked Witch even yall! The concept of three men guys who really were bad to the bone on the outside but perfect on the inside, vying for the attention of one wicked woman. They stole my heart and I was completely taken away to a new world of Oz that I would have never imagined on my own. I can’t wait to see if we will get more of this story line or even others from Madeline Fay. I must get my hands on them asap though!
First off I grabbed this because of that cover! I did not read the synopsis at all. When I started reading I was hesitant because as the story started I thought the humor wasn’t funny. As the story moved along I became more engrossed in the enchanted land and the characters. Then I realized the humor actually added to the story. This is full of witticisms that cracked me up and life lessons. Plus it has everything from Care Bears to Unicorns. So color me green….I ended up really enjoying this little trip to Oz.
I give My Pretty (Mischief Matchmakers Book 1) by Madeline Fay, 5 stars.
Ok, I will admit, I wasn’t sure what to think of this book at first. There have been so many Wizard of Oz books with a twist, but most of them stay fairly true to the plot. This takes all you ever knew and throws it out the window. And it does it in a hilarious, dark, and sexual way. No one is even close to what you would imagine. And the snarkiness of the wicked witch!!! I fell in love!! The men are great too. I do not want to give too much away, but if you’re expecting this to be a “everyone is good, the witch is just misunderstood”, be forewarned, this author has taken characters you cherish and turns them into the bad guys. I love this!!!! I get so tired of basically reading the same story over and over. Is it over the top? Probably, but that’s what makes it so great!
This book is definitely intended for adults. The situations, language and sexual content is pretty high up there, this is not indented for those who enjoy a light romance. I have never read this author before and I commend her on a job so well done and so different from anything else out there. I cannot wait to read more!

My Pretty is the first book in the Mischief Matchmakers written by Madeline Fay. Mischief Matchmakers Series is a bunch of books written by different authors with new twist on old fairy tales. This is the first book I have read by Madeline Fay, but definitely won’t be the last. This story was wickedly funny, with witty banter, hot sexy characters, and a wonderful twist on OZ. This was truly entertaining and had me laughing out loud throughout the story. East is the perfect Wicked Witch, and her three men really spice up the story. I look forward to reading more books by Madeline Fay, and I’m also going to pick up the other books in this series and see if they are all as good as this one.
