    About this audiobook

    Even when she's not starting it, trouble follows Marissa everywhere. First there was the incident with the homicidal Fairy Godmother. Then there was the time she accidentally started Armageddon. But the problems that always seem to arise on Marissa's birthday take the cake.

    This year, her annual bad-luck presents include an army of invading goblins, the resurrection of two vengeful enemies from hell, and the return of the Black Queen, the evil sorceress whose reign of terror still haunts Kingdom and who happens to have claimed Marissa as her servant.

    As Marissa's friends try to save her from the Black Queen's clutches, Marissa fights to end a bitter war that started before her birth. But her quest for peace is about to bring up some inconvenient truths about her own past-ones that might cost her the happily ever after she's always dreamed of . . .

      Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: A Fairy Godmother, the Black Queen, and trouble that always seems to find Marissa no matter what she does…will she be able to get out of this time?Opening Sentence: “When I was a little girl, my mother used to say, “A little birthday party can’t hurt anyone.”The Review:Marissa and the gang are back in Wish Bound, book 3 of the Grimm agency. I am not sure how long has passed since the end of Book 2 until the beginning of Book 3, but I would say that if feels like some months have passed at least. Marissa is mostly happy, her life has settled down for the most part, and she is happy with Liam. All of that changes when they find out the Black Queen whom was supposed to be gone for years is suddenly back.When Ari, takes off to end the Black Queen once and for all, Marissa follows her to make sure it all ends well. Instead, she ends up bound to the Black Queen in order to save Ari’s life. As she tries to figure out what being an handmaiden entails and navigate fairy, Marissa also stumbles upon the knowledge that the Black Queen has the Fairy Godmother’s power. Which means she can force Marissa to grant three wishes.Will Marissa be able to break the tie before she is forced to something she can’t undo?Wish Bound is definitely action packed like the first two books, and yes, this time I did go read book 1 and 2 before getting here. And I highly recommend you start at the beginning as these are books that follow a time line and you would miss way too much starting with the third book. I enjoyed this series, however I find it similar to lots of others I have read, for instance early Anita Blake, Kate Daniels, Bloodhound series, and it’s not the same, don’t get me wrong. Different worlds, different types of main characters. The only real similarity is a strong female lead in some kind of law enforcement (or similar feel) job that basically has to jump through major hoops in every book. So I liked this series, I like the differences, I think my only issue is I have read a lot of series that have this formula and some of them were just downright amazing.So I am not going to be really hard on this book, I like the Grimm aspect, Fairy Godfather, and a little bit of fairy tales, with vampires, fae, werewolves, and magic. I like Marissa, other than she has like the worst luck ever, and I think this book is major in that you find out why she has such horrible luck. The ending was amazing, it really made a lot of things make sense, and no, I won’t share. You must read for yourself. So if you are looking for a kick butt female lead that always seems to get into horrible situations and really struggles to get out of them, then look no further. The Grimm Agency’s books are for you! Book 1 is Free Agent, start there!!!Notable Scenes:“The man who’d stood by me through the end of the world.”“Being the apocalypse bringer had its benefits but I wasn’t taking chances, so we still ran.”“The Fairy Godfather, feared nothing.”“The way Grimm said that made me shudder, and sent a chill down my spine, even in the forge.”“If Ari’s smile could power the entire Agency building her anger could electrocute every death row inmate in the country.”“The look of pleasure on her face would have given the Marquis De Sade chills.”“Little Red Riding Hood, for the record was an awful bitch, even by my standards.”FTC Advisory: Ace/Penguin provided me with a copy of Wish Bound. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
