Ingen prins för Riley (Grimm var en Jävel #1)
by Anna KatmoreVarje gång någon öppnar en berättelse och läser de fyra magiska orden "Det var en gång" blir min mormor uppäten några timmar senare. Åh, det suger! Jag önskar att min saga hade en cool avslutning, som Asken och Belle får, tillsammans med ett slott och en prickig prins att gifta sig. Har du någon gång kysst en groda? De förvandlas inte till en groda. Tro mig jag har försökt. Sjutton grodor och nästan en vårtig padda - för ingenting. Vad jag får är Jack men tyvärr är han olämplig för ett romantiskt slut. Vargen saknar helt enkelt rätt egenskaper för det. Och uppenbarligen en krona. Eftersom alla vet att kärlek sker bara bland de kungliga i Sagolandet. Eftersom kunglighet inte bara regnar från himlen, kommer jag att bygga en prinsfälla imorgon och själv skriva mitt lyckliga slut Det kommer att vara så bra... *host* Hej, jag är vargen Jack - ja, om Riley får säga något här, så gör jag också. Och hon borde glömma bort den galna tanken om att rymma med en kunglig. Vi kommer inte att skriva om någonting. Om hon vill hångla med någon kan hon göra det med mig eller ingen. Åh, och...det kommer att bli bra.

Bren himself is unable to return home for fear of being arrested or assassinated by the powerful arch conservative element who wish to bar the atevi from space. Responsible for a terrified, overwhelmed young man, and desperately trying to keep abreast of the atevi associations, how can Bren possibly find a way to save two species from a three-sided conflict that no one can win?The long-running Foreigner series can also be enjoyed by more casual genre readers in sub-trilogy installments.
