   Evie's best friend, Anna, drowned four years ago. Now, on the night of Prince Nikols' birthday, a mermaid saves him when he falls into the water. A few days later, a girl with a remarkable resemblance to Anna shows up on the shores of Havensted. Soon, both girls capture the eyes- and hearts, of two dashing princes. But both girls harbor a deep and dangerous secret that just may be the death of each other. But can Evie find a way to help her new friend stay on land- and keep her on two feet before its too late?
  This book has everything I love: magic, romance, and secrets! I'll admit that it got off to a slow start, but, but the deeper into the book, the better it got. I loved that there were flashbacks to four years ago when Anna drowned. Those parts really helped us uncover what really happened. It didn't really have anything to do with a sea witch until the very end. I do think that there was some insta-love between Evie and one of the princes. And I do hate one of the princes of obvious reasons once you finish the book.
  One more thing that I don't like about the book is that there's one line that repeats OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Sarah Henning does use the phrase "and I sink into him"  A LOT. If you didn't notice it before, you won't be able to unsee it now!
  I just also LOVE the cover. I couldn't help but just stare at the tentacles during class while I was supposed to be listening (sorry teachers!). I don't know why but I just find the tentacles oddly satisfying.
  If you do end up reading and liking this book there is a sequel: Sea Witch Rising.

  Clap When You Land  was an amazing novel.

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Act Cool  by Tobly McSmith Act Cool  is a recent release that looks so good! Goodreads synopsis: Aspiring actor August Greene just landed a coveted spot at the prestigious School of Performing Arts in New York. There's only one problem: His conservative parents won't accept that he's transgender. And to stay with his aunt in the city, August must promise them he won't transition. August is convinced he can play the part his parents want while acting cool and confident in the company of his talented new friends. But who is August when the lights go down?

Fairest of All by Serena Valentino

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi
