Drew Parker’s father abandoned him on his eighth birthday, and he hasn’t thought about him in years. When Drew discovers his father and stepmother have died in a tragic accident, he finds he's now the legal guardian of his two young half-sisters, Madison and Mackenzie. He's on his way to college and not prepared for such a responsibility. His mother refuses to help him, but thankfully he has a Fairy Godmother, a magical, who has spent years helping others to make up for the one she failed.
Singer Seraphina Jacobs thinks she’s finally made it when her second album goes platinum. Then, just before her tour is set to start, photo-shopped nudes of her appear in the tabloids and threaten to destroy her career. With her reputation at stake, her PR team rushes into action.
In a chance meeting, Seraphina makes a poor first impression on Drew. He doesn't recognize her until he wins concert tickets that include meeting her backstage. When Seraphina's manager notices their instant attraction, she capitalizes on it for some PR events. What happens when a staged romance turns into something more?
No matter what Drew and Seraphina feel for each other, their lives are being pulled in opposite directions. Will a little nudge from a Fairy Godmother help them realize what’s really important?
Review By Madison Davis
MEMBER OF THE PARANORMAL ROMANCE GUILD REVIEW TEAM
The book starts with the ‘Fairy Godmothers’ discussions about mistakes. I figure regular readers of The Magical’s Series would precisely understand what the conversation is about, but book 4 is the first one in the series that I read, and I admit, I had little to no clue what they were talking about.
We then meet Drew, a boy whose father had abandoned him when he was only eight years old and whose mother was constantly at work and let the boy grow up on his own, just with his friend Ryan and Ryan’s parents, who took a liking on Drew. Drew and Ryan are high school seniors when the story begins and are currently experiencing prom and graduation. Drew is a very likable young man looking forward to his future at college, together with his girlfriend, Jenna.
And then, everything goes downhill. Drew’s father and his new wife died in an accident and left behind 8-year-old twin girls, who Drew’s father decided, were best with Drew. The eighteen-year-old boy found himself a legal guardian to his half-sisters.
Seraphina Jacobs is a pop singer, a rising star, with many teenage fans. When Drew met her the first time, a scene, which I think is hilarious, he didn’t know who she was, and their first meeting wasn’t a very friendly get-together. But then, Seraphina is facing problems on her own. Her manager Krista works hard to save Sera’s reputation, but she needs to hire help and ends up with ‘Rainy,’ a member of the ‘Fairy Godmother’s Inc’…
When Drew is panicking about raising his half-sisters, he thankfully finds a job with a restaurant owner, Faye, who helps him and supports him. It’s like a fairy tale. If he only knew that Faye indeed is a Fairy Godmother…And then, Seraphina and Drew meet…
The book jumps between the stories of Drew and Seraphina until they finally meet each other at the perfect moment. Drew and his ex-girlfriend have broken up, and he’s available, and the affection and attraction between him and Seraphina are there.
Even though I enjoyed the story, the story plot is very much ‘black-and-white’…. There are the evil characters, like Drew’s mother, his father, Jenna’s father… even Jenna, being a likable character at first, turned over to the bad side later. There is nothing ‘in between.’ The good characters are, of course, Ryan, Ryan’s parents, Faye, Rainy, Seraphina, Jessica, a character we find around Seraphina… The twins, Madison and MacKenzie, are a little ‘too sophisticated’ for 8-year-olds but likable… And everything turns out fantastic…
This Fairy Tale would be for 11-year-olds if there weren’t a few quite intimate events happening, which the author found necessary to describe in detail.
Of course, I love Drew. He’s a wonderful young man. He’s, indeed, so wonderful that this is a Fairy Tale because no teenager would ever react or act and plan like him.
Seraphina is great, but of course, I love Faye. In the end, everything seemed to be rushed into the necessary, ‘and they live happily ever after,’ and the Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo feels very much like ‘fast-forward.’
Overall, the book is cute; it might be happy reading for Fairy-Tale fans, but even if I enjoyed the read briefly and there are a few pretty scenes in the book, in my opinion, the plot is a bit superficial and the characters are lacking depth. It’s still recommendable as a read for someone who doesn’t want to think much and just be entertained.
