As You Wish

Why I Read this Book: After reading The Wish List (read review here), I couldn’t wait to continue the journey of discovering the other two new Fairy Godmothers. I was excited to find out what was going to happen in the Arcani world and to see what was going on with Kristin.

What I Liked: I love these characters (well, the good ones). I enjoyed reading Reggie’s story as much as I did Kristin’s. It was fun to watch as she was trying on her magic skills. I knew there was something fishy going on with Nate’s character but I was interested to see how it was going to play out. Jonathan was a bit too perfect at first impression but proved to have his own flaws. The three original Fairy Godmothers are hilarious though we don’t see much of them in this book.

I’m glad that Kirstin and Tennyson made a few appearances in this book, though I would have liked to have read more about them. I guess I’m not completely ready to let them go yet.

I really like this cover! More so than the cover for the first book, which I felt was too YA. This cover is much more suitable.

What I Didn’t Like: There were parts revolving around Nate’s character that were a bit predictable. I knew what the end result was going to be but I was still interested to see how things were going to get to that point.

Overall Impression: While I liked The Wish List, I enjoyed As You Wish even more. I ended up enjoying this series more than I thought I would. Now, I can’t wait for the release of Wishful Thinking, the third book in the trilogy. The Wish List and As You Wish are great books to read when you in the mood for some magical, light and fun paranormal romance. There’s a bit of mystery, suspense and romance mixed in.

Review copy from Author (I will be buying when it releases)
This title will be released on April 26, 2011.

What I Loved: Reggie was a wonderful central character. She was giving, strong, quick thinking, willing to try new things, and smart. All the things a fairy godmother in training should be! She really was my kind of gal, research then make a decision on what she believes. Normally the secondary characters end up in my "what I liked" section but I fell in love with Joy, Tommy, Alf, her parents (specifically her mother), her sister Dell, and the godmothers (again-I would love to read their stories). I wouldn't say they stole the book but they were a fantastic addition. Alf (a gnome) and her Mom were the most surprising characters in the book on how the ultimately handled everything. I giggled, cried, laughed out loud, and pulled for Reggie the entire book!

What I Liked: Nate and Jonathan were very good leading men. They were complicated, smart, and conflicted. Their storyline and Reggie's meshed very well. I will admit it did take me awhile to "fall for them" but once it becomes clear who they are, who she chooses, and how the story is heading--you want them to end up together. It was also great seeing Kristin and Tennyson again from book 1!

Complaints: None

Why I gave it a 4: I loved this book! It flowed really well, the pacing was fantastic, and the story was interesting. This book makes me smile! Also, please don't forget to read the Author's Note at the end of the book for more information on Best Buddies an organization that Gabi supports and is fantastic!

Who I would recommend it too: PNR readers definitely and even romance readers in general. Even though it involves Witches, Fairy Godmothers, a Beast, and Gnomes--it really is just a feel good story at heart!
