Loretta bit her lip and took a deep breath before she peered into the keyhole and slid the pick into the narrow opening. "You will open for me," she murmured.

Loretta knows how to pick a lock faster than you can say "juvenile delinquent". But the sixteen year old's world spirals out of control fast after she breaks into an annex of the British Museum, accidentally unleashes an arrogant, immortal genie, and winds up trapped with him inside the lamp.

Fayre by Nikkireadw

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."

The Cursed Wish by eliana_elf

Before the fall of the fairy kingdom, wishes were freely given. Now, wishes are gone, and only curses remain, with two girls standing against them. Princess Estefania longs to save her kingdom, but with a looming curse over her head, she's spent sixteen years in exile from Sahar. Then, a strange Marquis shows up on her doorstep with an answer and a way home: an engagement with the crown prince of the kingdom next door, Cyra. Lady Elowen doesn't fit in at fancy parties, but after she meets Prince Fletcher of Cyra, she starts to dream beyond her kitchen. After learning a dreadful secret, Elowen must find a way around Fletcher's engagement with the beautiful Estefania to save those held captive by a vengeful fairy. Estefania and Elowen will have to work together to unravel the last of the curses that plague their kingdom, but they are running out of time to make any last wishes before the curses overtake everyone they hold dear.

The Hunchback's Reluctant Bride ✔ by LynaForge

Hunchbacks don't get love. They get ridicule and scorn. That suits Wyrn just fine. As the son of a warlord, he resolves to die earning his father's respect in a tournament instead. The plan backfires and he's forced to marry a princess against his will. She's 18, beautiful, and suspicious. There is no way a king would give away his ONLY child to a random man much less a hunchback. Something must be wrong with her. And so, Wyrn decides to give her back. The only problem? She won't let him.

Between Ties by kimmyxad

"Don't go inside! Stay!" She said, holding her hand up to show me her palm and then I leaned over the balcony, resting my forearms on the railing to hold me up. I rolled my eyes as I exhaled deeply. Apparently I was a dog now. But fuck, It's her! What are the fucking chances. It feels like I'm in one of those Wattpad novels that Beth always reads. She quickly rushed inside and opened her blinds so that I could see right into her apartment. I watched her rush over to her stereo to lower the volume and then she came rushing back out, out of breath. "Did you get my note?" She asked and then I nodded, trying to force back a smile remembering her cute handwriting, in fact her little note was in the pocket of my sweatpants at this very moment, And so was her 100 dollar bill that she had given me, "I did!" I said as I watched her try to brush her hair out of her face "look, the money that you gave me. I don't want it. I appreciate it but it's too much! I need to give it back!" I said and then she shook her head trying to reject what I was saying. "No, it's yours I gave it to you!" She seemed upset and a little sad that I wanted to give her money back. "Hey, come on. This is a sign from whatever forces are at work here, what are the chances that you would be living right across from me!? This is fucking crazy, I can't accept the money and the universe is giving me a chance to return it." I said shrugging as she waved me off and then smiled sweetly as she breathed in for a moment just looking at me with softness. THIS BOOK IS A BLEND OF TEENAGE DRAMA REALISM AND FANTASY - ROMANCE.

The Djinni & The Royal by N_D_Brooke

Ginger haired girl smiled. "Eight, how nice to meet you." Her grin turned devious. He was frozen. The girl, had tricked him? He looked from the girl to Seven, laying broken in the floor. She sauntered over to him, her hips swaying with an almost seductive air. Power emanated from her as she stood on tip-toe to whisper in his ear, her lips brushing his earlobe. "Catch me if you can." Then she giggled and was gone. _________________________________________ The Djinni is a powerful being, capable of granting most any wish, for a price of course. You Angels are the guardians of humanity, dedicated to stopping magic, at the cost of anyone in the way. Known by only a number, they spend most of their lives dedicated to their cause. What happens when a naive girl wishes to be a princess and isn't happy when reality slaps her in the face? An angel with a dangerous obsession; an ex slave now one of the most powerful forces on Earth; and a lost girl who sold her soul for a delusion. -Updates Tuesdays and Thursdays- -MATURE THEMES- ® 2018 All Rights Reserved

But once she starts spending time with him, Megan finds she has a new problem. Despite her best efforts, she's starting to see him as something more than just her personal wish-granter; he's almost a friend. But can she trust him?
