With aspirations of being an animator, sixteen-year-old Nivi Nash thought she knew all about fairy tales. Take one beautiful damsel in distress, add a charming hero, and don’t forget a cackling villain. Throw in some pretty colors, a few songs, and mix well.
But caught in a real one, she learns the hero—though still hot—isn’t always charming, the story far from pretty, and the villain absolute evil. On the run for her life in a stolen SUV, she isn’t worried about her beauty, but happily ever after? Yes, she wants that the most. It means she’ll live.
The kiss always at the end of these tales?
Most of the time, okay maybe half of the time, the thought of that lip lock is far, far away where these stories are supposed to be. But tied to a stake on the side of a snowy mountain, the thought of her not-so-charming hero’s kiss burns away the reality of the knife hovering above her skin.

Twisted Vengeance (Rick Burns, Twisted Series)
by Jeff Bennington
4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon
Supernatural Mystery
In Bennington's [Twisted Vengeance, 2011] latest supernatural thriller, Detective Rick Burns has spent a lot of years on the Indianapolis police force, but he's never seen anything like this. When a man is found gruesomely murdered in his own home, it's just another case in a two-year streak of unsolved homicides afflicting the Indiana capital. One more case, one more headache for the troubled detective. Without any clues, leads or anything to link the cases together--except for the particularly brutal ways they were carried out--it's getting to be more than Rick can handle.
Propping him up are his father--a retired cop moonlighting as the station's janitor--and Rick's plucky sister-in-law, Stella. Together, they form a pretty good support group, or so they think. What they don't realize is that they're half of Rick's problem: Rick promised his late older brother, Roger, that he wouldn't let Stella remarry a cop; that's getting to be a problem, seeing as Rick is falling in love with her. And while it's nice to have Pops nearby for help when the going gets tough, Rick's dad is just as likely to remind him that his brother was a better detective.
Pops has a point; Rick is often willing to let good police work and common sense take a backseat for the sake of dramatic plot twists. Although that unprofessionalism makes it hard to strictly classify the book as a gumshoe novel, it doesn't make it any less compelling as a mystery--thanks, in particular, to the appearance (and subsequent disappearance) of a young boy. Rick spots the pale, sickly youth at the scene of the latest crime. Driven by the desperation of only having one lead, Rick decides to follow it, no matter where. Bennington's simple yet forceful style will keep readers guessing as the investigation takes Rick from the clean streets of Circle City to the darkest corners of the human heart. The truth leads Rick to places he never would have expected--and to questions he might not want answered. A brutal, emotional thriller that earns its stripes.
Storm Sullivan is a Seer from an ancient line who is forced to return home after the brutal murder of her aunt. As the last of her line, Storm inherits the family estate but also finds herself the next target of her aunt's murderer.
