Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2010

Junior's back from Mexico with his movie-star entourage. Beck's using his half-demon charms to "heal" a new girl. Mom's still wacky and now she's dating Principal Hostetler. High school is still an obstacle course of drama queens, bullies and nutjobs. The Trimarks are still a menace, and the moonstone pendant has revealed even more mind-boggling powers. In other words, Allie Emerson's life as the Girl Voted Least Likely To Save The World From Evil has gone from Weird to Super-Charged Super-Weird, and it's about to get even weirder. You're a faery princess. So says the mysterious Ryker, whose handsome talents include turning himself into a hawk. By the way, he and Allie are destined to marry. In faery land--Boundless. If they can save it from forces even more deadly than Trimarks and high school. The third book in the Unbidden Magic series plunges readers into a rich other-world of danger, humor, romance, fable, fairytale and magical destiny.

3.0 out of 5 stars review taken from One Book At A Time [...], November 10, 2010

This review is from: Moon Spun (Paperback)

I think I might have been expecting to much with this one. After enjoying Moon Rise quite a bit, I was hoping Moon Spun would continue on the same path. But, I almost feel like the author is trying too hard and mixing too many elements.

First off, Junior is back. I'm not sure what it is about the guy but I'm just not feeling it. I liked Beck, but it this one he turns into an ass and disappears for most of the story. Add in the third guy (really did we need a third) Ryker and it just gets sticky. Ryker seems to be the most intersting, but then fairies usually are. Thankfully Allie decides at the end that she doesn't need men, but we will see how long that lasts.

So we add in the element of fairies, and that's were I was beginning to lose interest. I think we could have just stuck with the moonstone and the prophecy and it would have been enough. But, the story is starting to get complicated and I'm not sure were it's going. Plus, I'm beginning to feel like it's dragging out a little. But, I will probably continue on if there is another one. I've invested this much time, I was to see what Allie does with the prophecy.

The book really moves with detail. I didn't find that this one dragged. I really enjoyed the first two, and the author did not let me down on the 3rd. I'll be waiting for book 4!

5.0 out of 5 stars Moon Spun (Spoiler Alert)-, October 2, 2010

Allie is on summer vacation and, as usual, she is her normal overly responsible self. In addition to taking care of her mother, Faye, she is working for her Uncle at his fruit stand and takes on an additional job-watching Principal Hostetler's adopted son, Chad. It just so happens that Faye is now dating the principal as if poor Allie doesn't have enough to worry about!
Beck is off to college early and has stopped calling her (a fact that his twin Nicole notes is because he has a new girlfriend), Junior is back from Mexico with a fab gift (1976 Chevy Caprice-Shiny blue and fully loaded!) and a new hottie, Ryker, is on the horizon. Not to mention the fact that she's a star seeker!

Ryker, who keeps calling Allie "Ava", is extremely good looking but his behavior is strange, as in not of this world strange. He suddenly shows up working for her uncle at the fruit stand and he seems to get along well with Principal Hostetler's son, Chad, who insists he sees pixies.

It doesn't take to long before Allie is on a new adventure, this time to Boundless, where she finds out she is part faery. Princess Avalon is Allies real name and she is the granddaughter to Melia, Queen of the forest faeries. Melia is Faye's mother; the mother that she thought was gone to her forever. Allie AKA Princess Avalon is soon on a quest to save the forest faeries and to help Chad, a changeling, return to Boundless.

This is a fun book that has action, romance, fantasy, comedy and mystery. As with all of Marilee's books, I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Allie is one of my favorite Heroines; she is spunky, funny and doesn't take herself to seriously. Marilee has a way of writing that just draws you in, you find yourself turning the pages furiously to see what happens next. I also love her comedic sense and I find that Marilee has a unique way of carrying off humor that so many authors miss.
I've read everything she's written and will continue to do so!
