    About this ebook

    An ordinary girl discovers she is a lost princess of Faerie—and is torn between two worlds and between two loves.

    Anita was living an ordinary life, until an elegant stranger pulled her into another world. She discovers she is Tania, the lost princess of Faerie. Since Tania’s mysterious disappearance on the eve of her wedding five hundred years before, Faerie has been sunk in gloom. With her return, Faerie comes alive again. But Tania can’t forget Anita’s world, or the boy she loved there. Torn between two loves and between two worlds, Tania comes to realize why she disappeared so long ago. There is a magical ability that only she possesses, and that she must use to stop a sinister plan that threatens not only her, but the entire world of Faerie.

      Really great book! A little slow at first but it picks up! ?
    • 1/5
      I can honestly say this book was painful for me. I usually will finish any book I pick up regardless how I feel about it; this book was the rare exception to that rule. I made in about 2/3s of the way in before I could not take any more of it. It was horribly dry and slow starting. My mother-in-law also tried to read the book, but also could not finish it. She made it about 1/3 of the way through in a year of the book being at her house.
    • 5/5
      I really didn't think i'd like this all that much at first, but by the end i was happily surprised!
    • 2/5
      I pretty much read The Faerie Path on impulse. I was at the library picking up some other books and I saw it sitting on a nearby table. The cover caught my eye with its intriguing beauty, and I vaguely recalled seeing it somewhere online, so I picked it up without even glancing at the summary. I figured it was about faeries, and that was all I needed to know.The story is kind of what I was expecting from the cover -it felt like a children's book on steroids (just enough to pass for a YA book) -but I was hoping for something a little more unique and engaging than what I got.In The Faerie Path, Anita begins to fall in love with her Romeo and Juliet co-star, and new student, Evan. However, after a near-death experience with him, she is transported to Faerie, and learns that she is actually Tania, a faerie princess who was betrothed to the nobleman Gabriel, but mysteriously disappeared. Anita must adjust to her new life as Tania, while dealing with the marriage proposals of Gabriel and her growing feelings for Evan. Just as it seems that Anita/Tania is starting to adjust, betrayal comes to light in Faerie and Anita/Tania must decide her destiny.The Faerie Path is an incredibly predictable and unoriginal story, and, unfortunately, it begins so slowly that I nearly put it down several times within the first one hundred pages. I ultimately continued because I had nothing else to read, and it did get more interesting near the end. Sadly, the characters are cardboard cut-outs, hardly likable and easily forgettable. Anita/Tania was the only character who had any personality, but it was hard to find.This may be good for fans of fairy tales, pure romance and Twilight, but it just wasn't for me. I'm glad I checked out this book, but I wouldn't read any sequels.
    • 3/5
      Young teen, fantasy, romance. Nice balance between action and romance keeps the storyline moving. And it falls into the "clean" read category!
    • 3/5
      Faerie Path is a story about a girl who finds herself in between two worlds, the one she knows as home and a place she has been missing from for 500 years. It's a cute story about  love, lies, and family and how Tania, the main character, finds her way in the Faerie realm. This is book one of a series, a trilogy, so it kind of leaves you hanging a little bit. And drags on until the last 15 pages or so. Not a bad book though. 
    • 3/5
      Only really got into this for a little bit, it started at a 6th grade level and gradually got better (or I stopped noticing). Ended okay, but I don't plan on continuing with the series.
    • 5/5
      This was a really good fast read for me. In this story Anita Palmer is an normal 16 yr old girl seeing a boy named Evan. On her birthday during a boat ride on her birthday everything changed when they crash....Anita has what she thinks is a dreama nd she finds her true self as Fearie Princess Tiana the seventh daughter of the Fearie Relam.
    • 4/5
      know that faeries are supposed to be replacing vampires, but I like faeries even less than vampires! We know what to expect from a vampire (bites)...but what do we know about faeries? In this love story we learn quite a bit about faeries, the story is typical teen drama. I expect it to be popular with freshmen girls.
    • 2/5
      Anita, a normal 16 year old, has two things on her mind, a new boy that she's sure that she's in love with and the high school production of Romeo and Juliet where her love interest, Evan, just happens to be the Romeo to her Juliet. An accident throws both her and Evan in the hospital where she starts having strange dreams of growing wings and flying. Evan mysteriously disappears and a stranger in Elizabethan clothes enters her room and pulls her into a magical realm where she is the missing daughter of the Fairy King Oberon. Overall, the plot was not very strong. It would've been a better book if it had been written for younger girls. Too much of the book was Anita trying on beautiful clothes and doing activities with her new 6 sisters, which of course, she got along with all of them by the end the book. I doubt I will bother reading the others in the series.
    • 3/5
      Anita has great plans for her 16th birthday - a day out with her new boyfriend, followed by a party the next day. Unfortunately, a boating accident lands her in the hospital. She's not sure if it's the head injury or her mysterious new present that keeps giving her these visions of a different world.Suddenly, Anita finds out that she is not who she believed herself to be all this time - she is a fairy. Really. The seventh daughter, foretold in rhyme and missing from Faerie for 500 years. But she is not so sure that she is ready to say goodbye to the only life she has ever known.I had really, really high hopes for this book. Between the gorgeous cover and the title and the blurb, it sounded like a fabulous read. Well, it was a little bit of a disappointment. I did like Anita as a character, but the plot was a little too predictable. The book itself seemed to me a bit fluffy. I would have liked a little more substance. It is the first in a series of three, and you can tell the writer is setting it up for 'further revelations.' I will probably read the next one in this series, but it wasn't quite as magical as I hoped it would be.

      For her sixteenth birthday, Anita Palmer was enjoying a boat rider with her boyfriend Evan Thomas when suddenly, there was an accident and they both ended up in the hospital. The strange dreams that Anita started having became more than just a dream after she realized that she really could be the lost princess Tania of the Faerie Realm. Finding out that Evan was really a servant named Edric left Tania feeling betrayed by everyone, the Lord Gabriel Drake seemed to be helpful. She still needed to figure out which of her (Anita or Tania) was real.*****5 Book 1.…. This is a very interesting book, based on the dream of walking between two worlds, the land of Faerie is so well described, the colors, the mystical and magical feel of it all. The Mortal world was not seen very much, but the grounded feeling was there. This may have been written as a young adult fantasy, but as an adult, I really enjoyed the get away into this other world and hope I can find the next book (The Lost Queen) to see were Tania and Edric end up next.
    • 2/5
      Well... at first I was sort of intrigued by this book, but then it became too predictable and too long winded. I ended up skimming through the last 100 or so pages to finish up the plot and well... there's no way I'll read the sequel. Not quite a waste of my time, but it really wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.
    • 2/5
      There was nothing terribly wrong with this book. Although I read over one hundred pages, and the plot was not very strong. After over one hundred pages the only thing I knew for sure that the book was leading to was the developing romance. It was a very intrigueing book.
    • 2/5
      Very disappointing.I am a huge reader of young adult fantasy/urban fantasy. So I go into a novel aimed at a teenage readership with open eyes and adjust. Unfortunately, this book is almost a total let down no matter what age reads it and almost especially so for the young adults it is aimed at. Someone - the author or the publisher / editor - does the readers a disservice in presenting this to the public. THe entire book felt very juvenile in it's presentation and it's writing style.I know this seems harsh but I spent hours of my time reading this novel because of it's potential and feel I have a right to review my opinion. Admittingly, I normally don't bother when I don't like a book. I just move on.So, the premise was very good. Teenage girl in England is swept away to Faerie and finds that she is the lost princess of 500 years previous. The novel is a journey of her discovering herself and her faerie power. Add in a mysterious ex-fiance and his servant to the mix and the reader sees conflict coming.But it never really happens! THe characters are so cardboard cutoutish. THere is no dimension to Anita/Tania, Evan/Edric, Gabriel or any of the sisters. There is no emotional investment for any of the characters. There are tons of frayed plotlines and very little explained. Almost none of the story or characters are fleshed out.So disappointing. I really wanting to like this book but have since marked the next two in the series off my TBR list. Not worth it.
    • 3/5
      I like the plot of the book. But it is the pace of this plot and some of the dialogue that seemed really awkward. Jones seems to have a trouble with providing dialogue for a sixteen year old girl from the 21st century London. There are awkward phrases she says that doesn't seem real and sometimes she acts a lot younger than what she's supposed to be. I'm not sure if I would pick up the sequel to this book to read, though I must admit that I am a little curious as to what is to happen next.
    • 5/5
      This novel tells the story of Anita who is really the lost daughter of Oberon and Titania, The Faerie King and Queen. She has the ability to walk between the mortal world and the faerie world, but has been missing for five hundred years. During that time one faerie had developed skills to control the faerie world in hopes of becoming the king. Tania puts an end to that because she developed the skill in the mortal world to take out Gabriel the evil force. This good over evil story has a happy ending and is uplifting for young people who need a way to escape their hard world. Since many of the teen readers are reading Harry Potter stories this is a bit happier than his stories have become. This in one of three books so far with Tania and Evan trying to overcome some evil force to save the faerie kingdom. I think this is an aspect we all want to see in stories because we want to believe faeries are around us to keep us safe. If the faerie world is destroyed, our dreams could be destroyed with it.
