Blurb for Ellie, Everlasting:

Peter Pan is real.

The Lost Boys and Girls are real.

But something sinister lurks in the shadows, threatening both worlds. Will Ellie and her new friends be able to save Earth and Neverland before it’s too late?

My review of Broken Ever After:

I loved this story. Quinn is a strong and likeable character, whose values are friendship and loyalty. Ames is hard working and caring character who looks after his two younger siblings. These two are very sweet together and care about each other immensely so when Ames is sick Quinn’s journey to save his life begins; it is both life-threatening and enchanting.

The unique retelling of the different fairytales, including Rumpelstiltskin, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty, among others, is incredible. It reminds me slightly of the books; The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer (amazing series).

While Quinn is in The Enchanted Kingdom she meets and falls head over heels for a certain Jacob Grimm… (I love him too 😍 )

This story is so creatively thought out and the epilogue was just beautiful. It touched me so much.

Adriana wrote Broken Ever Afters in such a delicate way and many readers will devour just as I did.

Four Excerpts of My Wattpad Story ‘Shades Of Blue’

~ Isabel (The Writing Queen) ~ Leave a comment

1. “She ran herself a bath and put some baby blue bath salts in it.  When she finally got out of the steamy water she went to bed and dreamed of a certain boy with indigo eyes and a soft smile.”

2. “Ciel couldn’t remember how he had ended up in hospital. All he knew was that one minute he was thinking about Skyla and the next he was in a fatal position on the floor of his bedroom crying out in pain. He looked at the cyan painted walls and tried to lift his head up, but the pain was unbearable and the world around him turned to stars. Then it faded to black.”

3. “His lips, which were once strawberry red, were now azure blue and his inky blue eyes that stared vacantly up at them had turned to pastel blue.”

4. “Skyla was sobbing so much that she bit her lip to stop the sound from escaping. She bit down so hard that it turned a blueberry colour…”
