Madi’s life is turned upside down on her 17th birthday when she finds out fairy tales are real and she is the descendant of one. She is sent off to Lost Time Academy to learn her powers. There are secrets, humor, and magic. I like Madi, and the 4 guys are interesting. The story does end with a cliffhanger, and I’m really hoping book 2 is out soon!
This book already has me hooked. From the moment I started reading I didn’t want to stop. Madi learns she has powers and must leave everyone she loves behind. But when she goes to Lost Time Academy she never thought she would see the Tales brothers again. Such an interesting story with amazing characters. I can’t wait to start the next book in this series, especially with the sexual tension going on between the Tale brothers & Madi and the ending wtf.
I swear I read this in an anthology once, but I don’t remember where from. Although, I do know that this is an extended full length novel. I think some events were a bit twicked from what we read in the anthology; yet, I think the change made the story better in a way. I really love Tales & Time & can’t wait to read the 2nd book because of the cliffy.
** spoiler alert ** What girl doesn’t want to live in a fairy tale? And what’s more, what if it’s really true and not just a story you’ve been told when you were a kid?
Madi got the biggest surprise of her life when she found out on her seventeenth birthday that she was a descendant of a fairy tale, and Sleeping Beauty no less. I guess that explains her unusual love for sleeping. Contrary to human tales, every fairy tale characters have individual powers and of course a bad counterpart, the dark tales. You know, the evil witch stepmother and the likes. Upon knowing this family secret, Madi was sent to the Lost Time Academy to master her powers and train for combat since the dark tales seem to be gathering their forces to attack. She doesn’t want to leave her love, Quinton but staying will only endanger his and her family’s life. So, she went to the academy but had another surprise, her four bestfriends that she thought she lost was attending the school too. But time apart changed them. Madi will learn the hard way that anything, and even anyone is at it seems.
I love fairy tales especially if its made into a dark, contemporary romance. The author took this fairy tale retelling and put her own spin to it. I can say that aside from Madi learning her powers, the story revolves on her getting to know the boys again after years being apart. We didn’t see much about the dark tales aside from talks of them being silent and planning an attack soon. It is more like the author put the ground work on this book for the second installment’s build up, which is good. I have a feeling about Quinton at first and was proven correct at the end, although not to the extent the story revealed. I’m curious to see how the story will unfold on book 2 with the way book 1 ended. I recommend this book for those who loves fairy tale retellings.
Love this new series by G. Bailey! I could not put it down. Madi ,Quin, the Tale brothers, and Tavvy. Left me with a cliffhanger! Gah! Now I’m excited to read book 2! Quin..ugh…Sin
For all fairytales lovers: you will love this one!!
I don’t remember princess sleeping beauty kicking a** in the Disney version!!? This one is awesome! an academy for students who are descendants of real powerful fairy tales: fairies, mermaids and you named it sleeping beauty of course but surprisingly not the way you expect. I was swoon from the start!! The Tales brothers are sexy and fun and head over heels over Madi!! aka sleeping beauty. She just discovered all of this and is taking quite well because she is not alone. Her protectors and best friends are there. The only person who is missing is Quinn..aka ex boyfriend. looks can be deceiving..huge cliffhanger and i cannot wait for the next book!!! AMAZING!!
***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.***
G Bailey started this book and series in a book collection with other authors. This was the book from the beginning and continuation. I was swept up in this book from chapter 1! Madi was given this random magical book on her birthday and shipped off to the boarding school where she can learn more about her magic.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series. WARNING – Ends in a cliff hanger!!!
On her seventeenth birthday Madi finds out she is a descendant of a fairy tale and she had to go to Lost Time Academy. This changes life as she knows it but man it is fascinating to follow. Add in a new BFF and the hot Tale brothers to get a story that you won’t want to end. Which it does of course with a nice cliff hanger. Book two is gonna be great. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
