Bewitching by Alex Finn
hitting shelves February 14th, 2011 from HarperTeen
description: Kendra Hilferty, the witch who curses Kyle Kingsbury in Beastly, tells about her immortal existence—how she discovered she was a witch and the various ways she has used her powers to help people throughout the centuries. (Unfortunately her attempts have often backfired.) As it turns out, Kendra has actually had a hand in "Hansel and Gretel," "The Princess and the Pea," and "The Little Mermaid"—but these are not the fairy tales you think you know! Kendra’s reminiscences are wrapped around a real-time version of "Cinderella," except the “ugly” stepsister is the good guy. With dark twists, hilarious turns, and unexpected endings, Bewitching is a contemporary read for fairy-tale lovers, fantasy fans, and anyone looking for more Alex Flinn.
My thoughts: I really enjoyed Beastly (the book, haven't seen the movie) and absolutely love whole twisted fairy tale concept, so this one is going to be right up my alley! Kendra was an intriguing part of Beastly, so it will be awesome to get some backstory on her. Gorgeous cover, too!
