"J.C. Nelson spins fairy tales on their heads!"

Birthdays have never been kind to Marissa Locks and this
year is no exception. Unfortunately, the Black Queen has
returned and Marissa is beholden to her as her
handmaiden. Can Marissa fight the compulsions when the
Black Queen commands her? WISH BOUND is chock-full of action as the fast pace never
relents. Marissa is thrown headfirst from one
catastrophe to another and the pace is almost
overwhelming at times. However, I like that J.C. Nelson
starts to fill in some of the missing pieces that begin
to make the entire series coalesce quite nicely. WISH
BOUND has some startling revelations and I'm excited to
see the direction the Grimm Agency series is
taking as the possibilities are endless. WISH BOUND is the third book in the outrageously wacky
but oh so fun Grimm Agency series. J.C. Nelson
spins fairy tales on their heads as his quirky and
somewhat twisted version is a pure delight. I would
suggest reading WISH BOUND in the context of the series
as a whole as the relationships and ongoing story threads
have been developing over the course of the series. Don't
miss out on a single book in the Grimm Agency
series as J.C. Nelson's world is spectacular!
SUMMARY
From the author of Armageddon Rules, the fanciful and fun
continuation of the Grimm Agency novels... As a partner at Grimm’s magical Agency, Marissa Locks is used
to working odd jobs. But when an evil queen reappears in
Kingdom, life becomes too strange to handle… Even when she’s not starting it, trouble follows Marissa
everywhere. First there was the incident with the homicidal
Fairy Godmother. Then there was the time she accidentally
started Armageddon. But the problems that always seem to arise
on Marissa’s birthday take the cake. This year, her annual bad-luck presents include an army of
invading goblins, the resurrection of two vengeful enemies
from hell, and the return of the Black Queen, the evil
sorceress whose reign of terror still haunts Kingdom and who
happens to have claimed Marissa as her servant. As Marissa’s friends try to save her from the Black Queen’s
clutches, Marissa fights to end a bitter war that started
before her birth. But her quest for peace is about to bring up
some inconvenient truths about her own past—ones that might
cost her the happily ever after she’s always dreamed of…
