Go the Distance by Jen Calonita

  What if Meg had to become a god? After Hercules defeats Hades, he becomes a god on Mount Olympus. When Zeus tells Meg she can't be with Hercules because she's mortal, she's absolutely crushed. Luckily, Hera offers Meg a chance to become a goddess. All she has to do is go on a dangerous quest. Meg must save her ex's current wife from the underworld. Out of all of Disney's villains, Hades has always been my favorite. I'm so glad a Hercules  retelling was finally added to the Twisted Tales series. I really liked Meg. In the movie, she was snarky and kind of sassy and I really liked that. She seemed a lot different in this book though. She was still a great character. She still had a short temper, but she seemed so much softer. Like, I know she's in love with Hercules and realized that she shouldn't block herself off from the world, but she just forgave her ex so easily.

  What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other? After a terrible accident when they were young, Anna and Elsa were separated for protection. Years later when the queen and king die, Elsa's memory comes rushing back as she discovers her startling new powers. On the day of Elsa's coronation, Anna's memories start to come back too. They set her on a quest to find her lost sister. But the curse is keeping them apart and they'll have to give everything to have to be reunited. I really enjoyed Conceal Don't Feel . It had much faster pacing than the other Twisted Tales  books. It was defiantly better than Part of Your World  and As Old as Time  (sorry Liz Braswell, I still love Straight On Till Morning and Unbirthday). I also NEED to read the other Jen Calonita books. I believe the only other one she wrote was Mirror Mirror . She's also writing the next novel in the series, Go the Distance . I'm so excited for that one! I liked the concept. I think the question pose...
