Review: Crisanta Knight Protagonist Bound by Geanna Culbertson

Crisanta Knight is not your typical princess. In Geanna Culbertson's novel Crisanta Knight Protagonist Bound, Crisanta is in fact the daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming, not that anyone could tell. Unlike her best friend SJ "Snow Jr" Kaplan, as in Snow White's daughter. SJ was everything a fairytale princess was expected to be, fair and graceful with a lovely singing voice that charmed all the animals. Crisanta, or as she prefers Crisa, is more inclined to weapons training than singing and absolutely refuses to believe that her life is to be dictated by a book and she has no say in the matter. Because of course that is how all the fairytales are created, the mysterious Author is the one who is in charge of creating the stories and once they start writing your life is no longer your own.
Follow Crisa on a quest to take back her life and find out what it means to truly be yourself. It won't be easy though when there are Fairy Godmothers trying to stop you and the occasional stalker prince, but a true princess doesn't quit.

The Demon Catchers of Milan by Kat Beyer

The Demon Catchers of Milan is everything one would expect of Italy. Full of history, romance, mystery and magic. Our heroine finds herself unexpectedly thrown from her normal teenage life into an old family mystery that takes her from suburban America to the ancient streets of Milan. Kat Beyer brings to life a culture rich in history through this coming of age tale that young and young at heart will love to discover.

The History Major by Phillip Cash

I don't often find a book that is well written and yet so difficult to read. Phillip Cash did a wonderful job describing the various historical scenes that his characters learned about in the strange class the heroine found herself in, but I could never quite understand why they were there. It seemed as if there were two stories going on, but the one in which the history class took place was never really explained.
The History Major did not live up to it's description and only left the reader with questions only vaguely answered. It is a very intriguing read, but the ending was not as satisfying as hoped. Perhaps I am in the minority in this and someone can explain to me how the stories chosen affected the characters and outcome of the book.
