My Review of Twisted by Jenny Phillips

Blurb
Gianna’s life has not been easy. She’s merely counted down the days until she can leave Fort Miami, with all the stares and whispers behind. However, when her childhood friend Hunter returns, it forces her to face memories she’s tried to forget. But what memories are real and which ones are that of an eight year old’s imagination?

Hunter doesn’t remember anything from that horrific night. Can Gianna trust someone who seems to have forgotten her once before? Can she put the pieces of that night together before it’s too late and she loses everyone she loves, even if that means believing in something that she’s only faced in her nightmares?

Twisted is the first installment in A Twisted Fairy Tale Novella Series.

My Review

5 cups of expresso
This was one of those little gems that kept my attention from beginning to end. It's a short story series, and I really appreciate the fact that more authors are putting these out. Being a writer myself, sometimes I only have time for a quick read and this fit the bill. 
I completely fell in love with the Hansel and Gretel twist on this story. Gianna and Hunter jump from the page and come to life in your mind. One of my pet peeves is a one dimensional or flat character. Jenny Phillips has breathed life into fresh characters and an amazing twist on an old tale.

Next Big Thing Blog Hop 12/26/2012

1. What is the working title of your book?

At the moment, I am working on the second full length book the Moon Coven Series, Conversion.

2. Where did the idea for the book come from?

This particular series began as a dream, however I incorporated a little of my own Irish family heritage in the mix, and there you are.

3. What genre does your book fall under?

This series falls under the Young Adult/New Adult. 

4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

I could totally see Leighton Meestor as Lilyann Moon and Alden Ehrenreich as her vampire, Mason Shaw.

5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

This is a story about the adversities a family can overcome when they stick together, only with a supernatural twist. 

6. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

As of this moment, The Moon Coven Series is self-published.

7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

It usually takes me about two (2) weeks for the shorts, and 4 months to write the full length novels. 

8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

I really can't compare this series to another, because of the unique quality of the story. 

9. Who or What inspired you to write this book?

My parents at first. My mom passed away the day after my birthday in 2001 from Breast Cancer. That event was life shattering. I almost gave up on everything. My husband and were talking one night, and he said, "What would your mom think? The fact that you want to be a writer, but you're not doing it." That was all the prodding it took. 

10. What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

I enjoy the supernatural element of books. So, in my books... no one is exempt from being touched by the paranormal, and no one is guaranteed to make it to the end, not even my main characters.
