Gabi Stevens's novel, AS YOU WISH, pulls the reader in quickly---I'll admit to doing a brief scan of the first few pages to decide when to read the work and finding myself with chilled coffee and tired knees since I forgot to sit down! The characterization is just excellent and immediately tugs the reader into the events as quickly as they are dropped on the protagonist Reggie Scott's head!

Reggie's lived her life as the nonmagical one in a magical family, and she's had success with her nonmagical aspirations. However, when the role of fairy godmother is quickly thrust upon her ---with no directions--- Reggie has to rework her entire worldview, her relationships with her parents and sister, and keep an eye out for those who might want to use her new abilities to help themselves, people like Johathan Bastion. However, with help coming from surprising places, Reggie has to learn whether or not to trust those people who are supposed to protect her in addition to learning to trust herself. As far as the novel is concerned, most readers should eagerly read the previous books, As You Wish and The Wish List, and anticipate Gabi Stevens next book. I know I will!
