Reality sucks. Make-believe rocks. That's been Fate Floyd's motto for as long as she's been a fantasy geek. But now she can hardly tell what's real and what's not. She's been spelled and mysteriously trapped within a deadly fairy tale world bound by the Book of Fables. Her only way home is to travel through the book's 8 unfortunate fairy tales and change them into happily-ever-afters. And if dealing with scheming sorceresses, greedy goblins and heartless faeries isn't enough to test her sanity, there's Finn. The Scottish boy who looks like he stepped straight out of her dreams. As it turns out, make-believe isn't as fun as Fate thought it would be. The reality is, her road to freedom isn't straight, and danger lurks around every bend.

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
This was a collection of 8 originally short stories and I have to say it felt very long winded. It took me quite a few times to get through it and I think the only thing that saved it from the DNF list was the fact that the premise was original and the writing wasn't that bad.
I'm not going to individual review each of the 'tales', lets just say some were better than others.
