Publisher's summary

Once upon a time, a girl named Sophie Drake danced with the fairies in the woods behind her grandparents' Louisiana home. But she closed the door to the fairy world and turned her back on the Fae when they tried to steal her little sister Emily. Fourteen years later, Sophie heads to New York City on a desperate mission. Emily, now an up-and-coming Broadway actress, has gone missing. Only Sophie suspects the Fae. Now Sophie has her work cut out for her. Emily's abduction is part of a larger plot involving the missing Queen of the fairy realm. An upstart fairy is making a bid to assume control of the entire Realm, unite the fairies, and become master over the human world.

To free her sister, Sophie must derail this power scheme and find the true Queen of the Realm. That's a lot for a small-town ballet teacher to tackle, but with the unlikely aid of her sometimes flighty sister, a pair of elderly shopkeepers with a secret, a supremely lazy (but surprisingly knowledgeable) bulldog, and a wounded police detective searching for his own missing person, she just might prevail - if she can force herself to confront her own past and face her true nature.

Modern times meets the fairy Realm

Any additional comments?

Shanna Swendson did it again! I loved her Enchanted Inc. series and I've lost count of the number of times I listened to those books. This is another series I can see listening to over and over again. It moves from the beginning and doesn't stop through the whole book. Fascinating, engaging, and light-hearted, I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. Highly recommend if you're at all into the fantasy genre. If you're looking for dark and edge-of-your seat suspenseful though, this isn't for you.

Magical

A wonderful story with magic, and lore. The loyalty and love of family is very strong. It was a beautiful story which I thoroughly enjoyed!

A good story ... Just not riveting all the time.

Narrator was fine. Story was good. Just had no trouble stopping and then continuing at a convenient time. Unlike those that you walk around the house listening to. The characters were good, very believable.

not bad, boring at places, lacks spark and witt

isn't a bad novel, i like autor based of other books though. this one didn't live up to my expectations.. Some places are pointless as a part of the story and boring. For a story with fairies and young sisters its bit gray and tired. there were just one joke! Kind of sad allover rather then thrilling and exciting.

And I'm looking forward to the next one.

this is a nice bit of fluff a couple of twists to keep it from becomming to predictable and it keeps your interest quite nicely

At the first chapter I alllmost sent it back but I am glad didn’t it is just what the titles says a FAIRY tale
Good enough to let the kids listen to but just enough to keep this adult attention
