The first book, I read was called 'Beastly'.
It was about boy called Kyle who has a TV presenter dad and everything going for him. He was also very handsome and this was his downfall. Kyle believed, he was God's gift to this earth and that he could treat anybody however he wanted. He then meets a girl called Kendra. Under circumstances, which I do not wish to give away, she places a curse on him, that he will be ugly until he finds true love's first kiss.
This was an amazing book, the fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast retold in a modern setting. I really enjoyed it and after reading it decided, I would read another of Alex Flinn's books.
The second book I read was called 'A Kiss in Time'
The book was very well written and Alex had me gripped again! The book features, Jack, a boy on holiday in Belgium with his friend Travis. Jack and Travis decide to lose the rest of the group and explore. They come across a kingdom trapped in time with all it's occupants sleeping. When the two friends enter the castle, the fun starts and Jack ends up waking a princess.
The way the story is written is really believable (Alex could convince me that fairy tales exist any day) and the characters are extremely well thought out and you could feel a serious empathy for them.
Alex's new book 'Cloaked' came out in February. I haven't read it yet but I do intend to in the future!
