UnEnchanted

     UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn was one of the best fantasy books I have read in a long time! The book showed that everyone is faced with challenges but we all need to find a way to overcome it.

     Mina Grime is a high school student. She is very shy and she like to go unnoticed. Her father died when she was little and her other family members are her little brother and mother. She has a major crush on the school's jock, Brody Charmicheal. She has never talked to him ever in her entire life. Until the day when she is on a field trip with him. They are at Babushka's Bakery on the catwalk that towers the entire bakery. Mina accidentally drops her pencil. Luckily no one else sees it. She goes to get it and realizes it is right next to Brody's foot. He slips on the pencil and almost falls off the catwalk. Mina jumps and saves him!

     Mina starts getting a ton of attention. More than she has had in her entire life. Brody not only starts talking to Mina but also taking a love interest in her. One day she is at the library with Brody. And she gets attacked by a crazy man asking for a book! She tells her mother and soon finds out her real last name is Grimm. She finds out she has to go thought all the stories in the Grimm books to survive and keep the curse away from her little brother! The library incident was just a little part of what faces her in the future.

     This book was very intense and interesting, but way too predictable. I also thought the book was too comparable to the Twilight Saga. I thought the the author could have done a better job describing important details and describing the setting. At times in the book I couldn't visualize exactly where or what was happening. The book hints that even if you start out as a no one anything can happen. Also, it demonstrates that challenges will come but we can always figure them out.

     If you are interested in a fantasy book with romance this is the book for you! Also, if you enjoyed the Twilight series this is a book for you too. It has its flaws but I still enjoyed it quite a bit!
