This had to be one of the most fun fairy tale adaptations I have read in a long time. Can she and Jack defeat evil not once but twice? Who knew that a first kiss could lead to so much trouble. Busses, cell phones, pool parties and witches! Wait, what? Just when she thought she had defeated the curse she senses the dark presence of her former nemesis. And what a time and place! Adventures await her around every corner. After a thoroughly wretched day trying to get the problem worked out she springs Jack from prison and heads to Florida with him, determined to make a life for herself in a new time and place. She is none too thrilled to find out that it took three hundred years for someone to break the curse and that that someone is no royal prince – nor does he have any intentions of marriage. Talia should have known better than to touch that spindle but a day away from the birthday that would set her free of that dratted curse she goes and does it anyway. Right up until they take a wrong turn into a magical forest, he kisses a sleeping girl who is hotter than a supermodel and the two wind up on the wrong end of a pair of swords. So taking a day off from stuffy old museums and playing hooky to go to the beach with best pal Travis seems like a good idea. If his parents planned it, it was bound to not be fun. Jack hadn’t been surprised by how “completely lame” his bus tour of Europe was. He just hadn’t planned on her being 300 years old. Like most guys, Jack hoped to kiss a hot European chick while on a tour of the continent.
