Synopsis

Working for Grimm isn't Marissa Locks's dream job. But when your parents trade you to a Fairy Godfather for a miracle, you don't have many career options. To pay off her parents' debt and earn her freedom, Marissa must do whatever Grimm asks, no matter what fairy-tale fiasco she's called on to deal with.

Setting up a second-rate princess with a first-class prince is just another day at the office. But when the matchmaking goes wrong, Marissa and Grimm find themselves in a bigger magical muddle than ever before. Not only has the prince gone missing, but the Fae are gearing up to attack Kingdom, and a new Fairy Godmother is sniffing around Grimm's turf, threatening Marissa with the one thing she can't resist: her heart's wishes.

Now Marissa will have to take on Fairies, Fae, dragons, and princesses to save the realm—or give up any hope of ever getting her happy ending . . .

Mon avis en Français My English review I love all the stories related to tales, or even faes and fairies, so when I saw the summary I knew it was perfect for me. Also, have you seen this cover? I think that right now many novels come out with beautiful illustrations and it’s true that I succumb every......more

Goodreads review by Dahrose on November 25, 2014

Great premise. The blurb on this book totally sucked me in. Sounding promising, fresh and fun. The reality? Not so good. The author completely failed to deliver. The main character - Marissa - was too YA, unsympathetic, bitchy (without the fun factor) unnecessarily mean, and inconsistent. All the char......more

Goodreads review by Van on August 15, 2014

Disclosure: I received a review copy from the publicist in exchange for a honest review. Free Agent jumped on my radar months ago. I haven’t read any Urban Fantasies that tackled classic fairy-tales and was curious how it would be. The beginning of the book was kind of hard getting into; it was so di......more
