What if fairytales weren't just stories, but modern-day prophecies? I was your typical teenage girl...until my hand suddenly burst into flames. Stuck in the school's bathroom, I can't seem to control it. Once the inferno stops, I'm left living in fear that any emotion will send my temperature rising and my hand will ignite. Again. Staying calm is a challenge when I'm living with a controlling stepmom and stepsisters. Or when Hal Charm, the hot Senior, shows up on my doorstep with secrets of his own. Just when I feel like no one could possibly understand what I'm going through, my Calculus teacher claims to be my fairy godmother and tells me that I'm the princess prophesied about in the fairytale, Cinderella. ...um, okay It becomes apparent that I won’t get a happily ever after intentions are exposed and people disappear.

If you love quirky heroines that don't need to be saved and a fresh take on a fairytale retelling, you'll love Princess of Fire. It's superheroes meet princesses. Grab your copy today!
I thought this was a unique retelling of Cinderella. A girl with super powers falling for a guy that has super powers too. But for reasons she doesn’t understand he doesn’t seem to return her feelings. He wants to just be friends. Although she knows the star football player isn’t in her league. But she could have sworn at times they had a sweet connection. Her life is resembling more and more like Cinderella’s. She has the evil stepmother, spoiled step sister, no other family. But wait… she also has a fairy godmother. Maybe she has a chance to restore some of what she felt was lost.
The twist with Cinderella's story was awesome. I adore the prophecy mixed in with powers mixed in with normal every day people. Gabbie was completely blindsided and didn't want to accept herself and who she was. Watching her struggle and then blossom was great. I'm curious to see how this series will play out with the prophecies and other girls with powers.
