Unenchanted By Chanda Hahn Review
This book is original. I love it and it is so pure and innocent. I think that was the reason why I enjoyed even more. This book is so cute and lovable. If you liked the Grimm Fairy Tales, you will love this book. This book was inspired by those tales.
The strengths...
1) Cute guy. The love interest is so adorable. He is the prince in this story. Unfortunately he may or may not be the true love of the main character. We will see if he is.
2) Possible love interest. Even though I am not usually the one for a love triangle, I think I like this one. Mmmm. The guy is so amazing. He is so tough yet also a lunatic.
3) The conflicts. This book is unique. I think this book will be the first of its kind. It originality and intelligence really shines through.
Weaknesses...
1) The story may be hard to pick up of many people. It has a difficult conflict to understand. The enemy is also difficult to understand.
2) Grammar error... I think that is all I need to say...
3) Odd reactions of other characters... For example, the main character was so worried about his other character and then all the sudden she forgot about him. That was the weirdest reaction in this book.
This book roughly about two hundred pages was only an hour read. It wasn't that bad. It was rather entertaining. My biggest peeve is that the conflict doesn't name itself till about the halfway mark.
ATTENTION ALL AUTHORS, STOP WRITING THE GOOD PARTS AFTER HALF OF THE BOOK HAS GONE BY.
The story has its twists and turns. Ups and downs.
One weakness of the book was that I felt that the book didn't emphasize on the biggest topics enough. Emphasize. It made the major issue a minor one. Big conflicts are rarely mentioned. Instead these minor petty thoughts are tossed in our ways.
Another weakness was the ending. All that torture and worrying for NOTHING! Just nothing! OMG! When will authors learn from their mistakes?
This book's rating is a three out of five.

SO MANY REVIEWS TO WRITE
Oh my goodness, there are so many reviews to write. (NOT KIDDING)
On my list are these books:
1. The Gaia Wars (The Gaia Wars#1)
"DEADLY SECRETS have been buried in the Cascade mountain wilderness for centuries. Hidden. Out of sight and out of mind.2. Unenchanted (Unenchanted#1)
Until today…
Warren Wilkes, age 13, doesn’t like what a greedy housing developer has done to his peaceful mountain community, so he vandalizes the developer’s property, flees into the wild, and stumbles upon an ancient human skeleton revealed by torrential rain. More than old bones have been exposed, however, and the curious artifact Warren finds makes him question his own identity, and his connection to an ancient terror. A terror destined to rise again and annihilate all that Warren loves. He must fight or see his whole world destroyed."
"Mina Grime is unlucky, unpopular and uncoordinated, that is until she saves her crush's life on a field trip, changing her High School status from loser to hero overnight. But with her newfound fame brings misfortune as an old family curse come to light. For Mina is descended from the Brothers Grimm and has inherited all of their unfinished fairy tale business. Which includes trying to outwit a powerful Story from making her its next fairytale victim.
To break the fairy tale curse on her family and stop these deadly events, Mina must finish the tales until the very Grimm end."3. Second Chance Summer
"Taylor Edwards’ family might not be the closest-knit—everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled—but for the most part, they get along just fine. Then Taylor’s dad gets devastating news, and her parents decide that the family will spend one last summer all together at their old lake house in the Pocono Mountains.
Crammed into a place much smaller and more rustic than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again. And Taylor discovers that the people she thought she had left behind haven’t actually gone anywhere. Her former best friend is still around, as is her first boyfriend…and he’s much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve.
As the summer progresses and the Edwards become more of a family, they’re more aware than ever that they’re battling a ticking clock. Sometimes, though, there is just enough time to get a second chance—with family, with friends, and with love. "4. Hidden (House of Night#10)
"At last, Zoey has what she wanted: the truth is out. Neferet's evil has been exposed, and the High Council is no longer on her side -- but she's far from done wreaking havoc in the vampyre world. First, a mysterious fire ravages the stables. Then, Neferet makes a devastating move that will test them all.5. Seizure (Virals #2)
With the seeds of distrust sown and Darkness breeding chaos at the House of Night, everyone must band together -- but that's proving to be more difficult than ever before. The twins are barely speaking and the House of Night's former enemy, Kalona, has now become their warrior, pushing their trust to the limit. To top it off, Zoey is pretty darn sure she might be losing her mind. She saw something when she looked at Aurox through the Seer Stone that she can hardly explain to herself, let alone her friends. Is it possible that Heath has come back in a different form? Is that why Zoey's so intrigued by Aurox, when it's so obvious that he's dangerous? And who would believe her if she told them? Zoey knows that following her instinct about Aurox might be just what they need to defeat evil . . . but if she's wrong, it could cause the destruction of those closest to her.
With the tension at a breaking point and friendships on the line, can the nerd herd come together to stop the spread of Darkness before it's too late?"
"Ever since Tory Brennan and her friends rescued Cooper, a kidnapped wolf pup with a rare strain of canine parvovirus, they've turned from regular kids into a crime-solving pack. But now the very place that brought them together - the Loggerhead Island Research Institute - is out of funding and will have to shut down. That is, unless the Virals can figure out a way to save it.
So when Tory learns of an old Charleston legend about a famous she-pirate, Anne Bonney, whose fortune was never found, she can't believe her luck - buried treasure is exactly what she needs to save the Institute on Loggerhead! Trouble is, she and her friends aren't the only ones looking for it. And this time, the Virals' special powers may not be enough to dig them out of trouble . . ."6. Hooked (Hooked #1)
"When Native American Fredricka ‘Fred’ Oday is invited to become the only girl on the school’s golf team, she can’t say no. This is an opportunity to shine, win a scholarship and go to university, something no one in her family has done.
But Fred’s presence on the team isn’t exactly welcome — especially not to rich golden boy Ryan Berenger, whose best friend was kicked off the team to make a spot for Fred.
But there’s no denying that things are happening between the girl with the killer swing and the boy with the killer smile...
GET HOOKED ON A GIRL NAMED FRED."7. Perfect Scoundrels (Heist Society #3)
"Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it's that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting-or stealing-whatever they want. No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale's family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother's billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there's no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won't let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother's will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company's fortune. So instead of being the heir-this time, Hale might be the mark. Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she's willing to save her boyfriend's company if it means losing the boy."
