It isn't easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday's only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true. When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland--and a man Sunday's family despises. The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past--and hers?

"I have read a lot of books based on fairy tales, and a good handful that tries to combine fairy tales, but none have completely hit the mark as well as Kontis. Enchanted is a fun and adorable read for any fairy tale lover, young or old."

"This book made absolutely no sense. I barely understood any of it. And the romance between the two characters felt non existent. They tried to fit so many fairytales into one but it just didn’t work. I was confused the whole time. "

"Absolutely loved this story, and loved that it combined several fairy tales into one. Overall the big themes are Frog Prince and Cinderella, but there are so many other details and Easter eggs from other fairytales that were just a pleasure to find. Well done! "

"4.5 stars. I really loved this fairytale retelling! It included most of my favorite stories, some hidden, and some more obvious. Although, there were a couple of unclear topics and a few plot holes that were sort of confusing. But overall, it could’ve been a lot worse. I totally recommend it!"
