Waiting on Wednesday: Enchanted by Alethea Kontis


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine to spotlight an upcoming release that we're excited about. This week I'm waiting on Enchanted by Alethea Kontis.

It isn't easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.

When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland—and a man Sunday’s family despises.

The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past - and hers? (Summary from Goodreads)

I have a not so secret love for fairy tales, and this sounds quite lovely. It sounds like a sweet yet fraught little twist on the "Frog Prince." Awesome.

Enchanted comes out May 8th.

      It's always a difficult question: To buy or not to buy? I find that I am pretty successful getting new books through my library which helps.

    New to me and adding it now! I love the story kissing a frog into a prince. Then you have the forbidden love that the prince is hated by her family. Then he tries to win her over *swoon* all things I love! LOL Thanks for sharing and visiting My WOW!

      I guess it's different strokes for different folks, I am interested to see how they explain the motivation though.
