Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9
Rapunzel is having the ultimate bad day. She's been stolen by a witch, may have a ghost for a roommate, and doesn't even have a decent brush for her hair. Prince Benjamin's got it pretty tough, too. His father wants him to be more kingly, his mother wants him to never leave her sight, and his cousin wants to get him into as much trouble as possible (possibly with a troll). Both Rapunzel and Prince Benjamin are trapped - in very different ways. Once their paths cross, well, that's when things get really strange.

The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

Publisher's summary
It's not easy being Princess Rose. Especially when a fairy curses you and you find yourself avoiding all sharp objects...and then end up pricking your finger anyway, causing you to slumber for a hundred years or so.
And it's not easy being The Prince. Especially when your mother has some ogre blood and tends to chow down at the most unfortunate moments. A walk in the woods would help, you think. Until you find a certain hidden castle...and a certain sleeping beauty.
Happily ever after? Not until the prince helps the princess awaken...and brings her home to Mother.
Journey back to the days when fairy tales were true with this fun and fresh spin on a timeless tale!

Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children. Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible—and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan—and who will suffer most if she does.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Light Read
Another short book in this fast series, I like that these books are very short .. but the main characters barely meet to realize that they are in love !?
So in this book we will meet princess Rose, she is the apple of her parents eyes and she has so many gifts that makes her a great woman from her fairy godmothers, and that makes her lose sight of who really she is .. so in her sixteenth birthday she works with a spindle and bricks her finger and goes in a deep sleep for 100 years
and they we meet prince "The Prince" .. thats his name .. his mother is half Ogre and thats makes him so confused about the concept of love ( I wish if they explored the mother's arc more ) .. but the prophecy is only The Prince shall rescue the princess .. can he do it ?
I swear my review is longer than the book .. it was a very light read and if you are in the mood for these kind of short books go for it
The narrators were really good, I liked their performance so much
