In Fame, Fate and the First Kiss, Lacey finally has a chance to pursue her dream of being an actress when she lands the leading role in a book-to-movie adaptation, sharing top billing with one of the hottest actors in Hollywood. But as Lacey tries to find her footing in the public eye amid completing her senior year requirements, developing feelings for her tutor and figuring out who is determined to sabotage her on-set, she just might find that life won’t always go according to plan.

Favorite zombie movie? I don’t watch a lot of zombie movies, as zombies are not my cup of tea in general. But there is one movie that popped immediately into my head: Zombieland. It’s still not something I normally would have watched on my own (I’m pretty sure friends convinced me to see it), but I do recall it being entertaining and making me laugh.

A Curse So Dark and Lonely is a Beauty and the Beast retelling, told from the perspective of both “Beauty” and the “Beast”. Harper is the “Beauty” from Washington DC, solely focused on protecting her terminally ill mother and beloved older brother from their diminished circumstances, and so, you can imagine that getting swept away to the enchanted world of Emberfall is not on her to do list. It’s there that she encounters the “Beast” of the tale, Prince Rhen, who is the heir to the throne and cursed by an enchantress to live his out his eighteenth year repeatedly without end unless a girl falls in love with him. As the two teens are forced to work together in order to overcome a variety of difficult circumstances, both find themselves irrevocably changed by the experience. But will it be enough to break the curse?

What fairytale world would you want to portal into? In all transparency, I almost said Beauty and the Beast post-Belle’s return, but the real answer would be the world of The Little Mermaid. I love that fairytale so darn much, and to be able to see (and befriend) the mermaids, and to live in a kingdom by the sea… I can’t pass that opportunity up!
