The Charming Trilogy, Vol. 2:
A Fates Universe Omnibus

Kristine Grayson

“The reigning queen of paranormal romance.”
The Best Reviews

Romance springs up in the unlikeliest places in this lively trilogy. Like the fractious fairy tales of The Charming Trilogy Vol. 1, these tales turn charming princes, wicked stepmothers, even Bluebeard himself, on their heads, all on the way to the elusive happy endings that last forever.

This omnibus contains a brand new Kristine Grayson novel—Hidden Charm! —plus two more novels, the short story “Standing up for Grace”, and lots more fun extras.

Wickedly Charming
When Cinderella’s Prince Charming finds himself divorced, bitter, and the new owner of a bookstore, his world unexpectedly takes a turn when Mellie, a supposedly “wicked” stepmother, shows up. Fantasies and fairy tales come true, but not always the way we think.

Praise for Wickedly Charming
“Wickedly Charming may be the most aptly named romance of the year…Perfect for those who like just a hint of fantasy in a sweet romance.” —Booklist starred review

Charming Blue
Romance, fantasy, and mystery run rampant through this tale of broken dreams and the dead end of a bottle of booze. A superbly handsome and charming prince, Bluebeard labors under his bad reputation with women, which leaves him open to accusations of mortal crimes as well as magical ones. When Jodi, a fairy tale refugee and magical “Fixer” of problems among the magical folk of Hollywood, gets recruited to “fix” Bluebeard’s image, she finds herself falling under his spell.

Praise for Charming Blue
“A beguiling mystery is matched in power by the palpable and forbidden attraction between Jodi and Blue, making this one of the best series installments to date.”
Publisher’s Weekly

“If there’s one word that sums up this book, it’s originality.”
Long and Short Reviews

Hidden Charm
When a Charming Prince named Sonny rescues Rapunzel from her tower prison, she rides off with him and gets on with her life—her real life in the Greater World. They set up a home in Los Angeles, and she begins to discover the strength of her magic.

But when Sonny disappears, Rapunzel needs help finding him.

Enter Henry, the Frog Prince, who works the front desk of the Archetype Place. Only Henry can help Rapunzel find her husband because of the vast power it took to conquer Sonny. But Henry wants nothing to do with Rapunzel or her problem. He fights enough of his own.

A typically fun Grayson romp through the world of magic and love.

The Daughters of Zeus Trilogy:
A Fates Universe Omnibus

Kristine Grayson

When Zeus tried to use his teenage daughters Tiffany, Crystal, and Brittany to destroy true love, they rebelled. So, he stripped them of their magic. Now they live with their mothers in “the real world.”

But magic cuts both ways; it can provide enormous power to any mage who knows how and when to use it, and it can backfire when used without the guidance of wisdom. This trio of Olympian offspring decide to take the on “real world” and reclaim their magic, one way or another.

This omnibus contains three novels, Tiffany Tumbles, Crystal Caves, and Brittany Bends.

Tiffany Tumbles

Recently fired from her job as an Interim Fate, one of the most powerful people in the world, Tiffany VanDerHoven must move in with her mother in Eugene, Oregon. Tiffany finds living without magic hard enough, but high school? Not even movies or TV prepared her for that.

Tiffany has tumbled into “the real world,” and it baffles her.

Tiffany needs to face her future, but first she must decide what kind of future she wants. One with her crazy magical Greek God family? One in the “real world”? Or can she discover the strength to straddle both worlds?

 “This is a completely new aspect of Greek Mythology. It’s light hearted and fast moving and quite amusing. … The author cleverly weaves the myths, the unhappiness and fitting into a normal teenage life with great expertise.”
—Long and Short Reviews

Crystal Caves

Crystal’s mother calls her “The Unexpected Consequence of a Momentary Lapse of Judgment.” Her half-brothers call her “The Unwelcome Visitor” because they didn’t even know she existed until a few months before. Her stepfather doesn’t even speak to her.

Even though Crystal lives in a beautiful Central Park penthouse and has a credit card with no limit, she misses her magic. More than that, she misses her sisters. 

She knows what her sisters want her to do. She knows what her parents want her to do. Now, for the first time in her life, she needs to figure out what she wants to do, regardless of the consequences.

“The second Interim Fates is an outstanding serious teen contemporary…The storyline focuses once again on an outsider who fails to fit in after her fall from the top of the Pantheon to the bottom of an American high school, but Crystal has no loving support system unlike Tiffany. Crystal Caves is summed up in the immortal words of Yogi Bear: ‘…smarter than the average bear’ but still don’t belong here (or anywhere).”
Midwest Book Review

Brittany Bends

Brittany misses her sisters—and her magic. After being fired from her job as Interim Fate, Brittany finds herself living with her mom and stepfather in someplace called Superior, Wisconsin. Oh, and her eight half- and step-siblings live there, too.

Eleven people, one house, and a whole lotta new things to learn about. Things like snow and sunburn and, well, being mortal.

But that might prove harder than she thinks. Because Zeus wants his daughters back. Three of them, anyway. The three former Interim Fates: Tiffany, Crystal, and Brittany.

Tiffany and Crystal already made their choices. Now Brittany must decide whether she will fight for what she really wants—if she can even figure that out—or bend to the will of her powerful father and the allure of magic.

“Grayson’s clever, humor-tinged writing is absolutely delightful.”
Booklist
