I started this audiobook with no assumptions whatsoever. I had no idea what to expect, who the author was, or even the storyline, for that matter. When I started the audio, I thought the reader Kim Mai Guest was just okay. After a couple of hours, she had grown on me tremendously. I really enjoyed t...
Before Mira's sixteenth birthday, she runs away to try to find her parents' grave. She lands smack into a city of fairy tales and is quickly enraptured with boys. Yes, boys plural.
