4.0 out of 5 stars A unique twist on shapeshifters. August 9, 2011

By Fantasybkgirl

Format:Kindle Edition

This is one of those books that takes you by surprise. The story starts off with Lora who lives in a small town in Washington where nothing much happens. Lora spends her days watching windsurfers at the beach, hiking with her friends Jess and Johnnie and waitrsesing on the weekends. After her mom disappeared when she was younger her mom's best friend Aubrey takes her in to live with her.

The beginning has some crazy, funny and unpredictable moments. Among those Lora's best friend has a new look and attitude when she returns from vacation, a man gets eaten by a bear and Lora herself encounters a large bear while hiking. Not to mention some of the strange people she meets along the way. Then we meet hottie windsurfer Chance. Say no more, yeah he's hot, charming and an all around nice guy but there's so much more to him. Lora and Chance meet and sparks fly instantly and the romance just blossoms from there.

I love shapeshifters and the way the author brought shapeshifting into this story was very interesting. Something different that I have not read before. The whole fairy tale world was so well done and it made me wish it could happen to me. I loved all the characters, even the evil ones. This story has it all, romance, action, adventure, suspense, mystery and friendship. There are lots of twists and turns, laugh out loud moments and hot guys. I mean who doesn't love hot guys? I love paranormal romance but don't worry there is plenty of action and suspense too.

I was drawn in from the first page and didn't want to put it down. I liked the ending and can't wait to read what's to come next in this series. I'm now a fan of this author and will continue to read her books.

This ARC e-book was given to me by the author for review. This did not affect my review in any way.

5.0 out of 5 stars fairytales still exist - this one delivers! August 30, 2011

By Erin Danzer

I read in the Acknowledgments of this book that one of the critique partners compared Chance Miller to Edward Cullen, saying Chance will give Edward some solid competition. I couldn't agree more.

I love when I read the right book at the right time. Loramendi's Story was that book for me. I was looking for something YA with princesses and castles and romance. Angela Carlie delivered - and so much more. Loramendi's Story was very well written, an exciting tale that kept me on the edge of my seat the few hours it took me to read it. Lora was a character I could relate to, Chance was the boy I wanted to take home, and Aubrey was a wonderful grandma nearly reminiscent of my own. I love that this book took place in Washington because Carlie's descriptions make me feel like I just spent a few days in that area, an area I long to visit some day.

This was a great adventure. A great new look at shapeshifters and fairytales. I loved the animals chosen, the concept behind being a shapeshifter in the story and the idea of being a princess in a far away (or not so far away) fairytale-like land. Lora has already found her prince; now she just needs to slay the dragon (or whatever form the bad guy takes).

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read fairytales and about shapeshifters. This book maybe listed as YA but it's age barrier is as timeless as the tales it's crafted after.
