Secret North (The Wishes Series #4) - GJ Walker-Smith ***minor spoilers***

Image
" Once upon a time there was a little fairy that was loved in all the lands. Her father was devoted to her, her mother never had possessed a more beautiful treasure and even the evil queen couldn't resist the little fairy's charm. She was a whirlwind and yet a sweetheart.  A dreamer by nature the fairy never saw deceit coming. yet there was one guy, a beast on the outside, a soft prince on the inside, that had no respect for honor, and so he got the little fairy and convinced her to help him steal the heart of a pretty princess. The task wasn't as easy as it sounded because the beast already had broken the princess's heart once and the princess had moved on, trying to shield herself from heartbreak by refusing the beast's advances and not believing any promise he made her. Yet, one day the beast and his clever side-kick fairy got the princess exactly where they wanted her: In the arms of the beast. So, eventually all fairytales have...

Sand Jewles - G.J. Walker-Smith : MUST-READ

Image
Synopsis:   Gabrielle Décarie was over arrogant men – but that didn’t mean she couldn’t have a little fun with one.  When she took a chance on Alex Blake, it was supposed to be a one-night deal.  He was too cocky, too flirty and too complicated.  Sand Jewels is the story of why she fell madly in love with him anyway. So, I don't even know where to start that review. Not because the  novella  (hell, other people call that two books) wasn't good, but because it was one of the most amazing things I've ever read. I have to say that for me it's hard by now to find words that I hadn't used yet to describe all the amazing things Gemma fabricates. I love her characters, love her places and most of all, I love her writing-style.  People that know me and my reviews know that I'm an Alex-girl front and center. I was smitten by him right from the beginning and it's so great to see the other side of it.  I am not a fan ...

Storm Shells by GJ Walker-Smith

“Charli’s stories hadn’t damaged me. They’d captivated and enchanted me.” – Storm Shells by GJ Walker-Smith That’s what I am thinking when reading GJ Walker-Smith’s books. Charli’s stories are like the water on the coast of Tasmania: You dive in, you come back up and still, all you want is to take another nose-dive in. I am a lucky one (probably the luckiest person of the world) and I got to pre-read ‘Storm Shells’. And there is another quote I want to use to say exactly what I think: ‘ “I’m scared, Adam,” I bleakly confessed.’ – Storm Shells by GJ Walker-Smith That’s how I felt when I started reading the book. I mean, we all know we left off with Charli and Adam in a place where I didn’t see a chance for return. Charli was deeply hurt and I have to say, I didn’t have much hope for Adam. Gemma heard all about that… The book already got me convinced with the prologue… Alex always gets me weak. Man, GJ knows how to write a good guy. A...

I have to say that I got the first book for free and when I started reading it I wasn't sure what to expect, but then I was pretty quickly drawn in and read it in a day, bought the second one and read that in a day, too. What can I say?  Unexpected turns, beautifully written, always make my heart drop and it's been a long while since a book turn truly surprised me. I loved the book from the very beginning to the very end and I wanted the paperback version of ' Saving Wishes ' the moment I was done. Having written my review on Goodreads I got super-lucky and G.J. Walker-Smith sent me a personally signed copy. I LOVED IT and still do. So, what's the book about? Book one starts with us in Australia, introducing a rather wild Charli Blake, who is being raised by her (absolutely amazing and adorable) brother Alex. It's her last year of High-School and Charli and her best friend plan for a trip around the world after they are finally done. What Charli d...
