JUST MY LUCK
by Jaclyn Weiss

Adam Crenshaw is tired of living in his little sister’s shadow.

She wins everything, and he gets the leftovers. Big brothers are supposed to be the role models, right?
Then one day, all that changes.

Louie is a leprechaun who offers him all the luck he could possibly want—for a price. 

The offer is tempting, but Adam refuses to work with him. 

To teach him a lesson, Louie steals all of his luck, and Adam’s life is turned upside down. 

He now has a choice between giving in to the leprechaun’s demands, or losing everything that matters to him

My Review
While this book is part of a series it can be read alone as long as you kind of understand what the first book is about--I have included that below :)

This is Adam's story--and it is fun!

Can you even imagine all the things you would want to do if "luck" were on your side?

Or all the things that could happen if "luck" were NOT on your side?

A whimsical look into the life of a teenage boy and the trauma one little leprechaun can churn up-

I truly adored this one and will be reviewing the first book in the series in upcoming days!

About the Author
Jaclyn is an Idaho farm girl who grew up loving to read. She developed a love for writing as a senior in high school, when her dad jokingly said she was the next Dr. Seuss (not even close, but very sweet). She met her husband, Steve, at BYU, and they have six happy, crazy children who encourage her to keep writing. After owning a bookstore and running away to have adventures in Australia, they settled back down in their home in Utah. Jaclyn now spends her days herding her kids to various activities and trying to remember what she was supposed to do next. She has published six books in a year, and her mind is still reeling from the awesomeness. Her books include The Princess and the Prom Queen; Magicians of the Deep; the Luck series--Stolen Luck, Twist of Luck, Best of Luck, and Just My Luck, a novella. You can learn more about Jaclyn at her website: www.jaclynweist.com

Stolen Luck Blurb
Sixteen-year-old Megan Crenshaw has everything going for her, until a leprechaun shows up on her doorstep and steals all her luck. If that weren't enough, he follows her around, making sure nothing goes right.

What Louie didn't count on was Megan's friends standing by her. No matter what he throws at her, they're by her side to pick her back up again.

When Megan learns about Louie's ultimate plan for her family, it's a race against time to stop him before he destroys everything she cares about.

Jaclyn's first book with Trifecta Books is The Princess and the Prom Queen

I have a SIGNED copy to give away from the Launch Party :)
I have already read this book...YOU WILL  LOVE IT!

Jenny’s had it with her life. Six siblings in an overstuffed house are enough to drive anyone crazy, and sometimes she dreams of escaping to some fantasy world. When she suddenly wakes up to find herself being kissed by a strange—but very handsome—prince, Jenny knows her life just got a lot more exciting. Now stuck in a medieval land of castles and royalty, when Jenny learns that the queen has agreed to marry her off to the prince, it’s time to take matters into her own hands. She goes on a quest to find out who dragged her to this time while trying to keep from falling in love with either of the boys vying for her attention.

Princess Genevieve has only known life under her mother’s rule. She wants to do more than go to battle or deal with suitors. She wakes to find herself in a new world filled with gadgets, electricity, and moving carriages. She finally has the freedom to be who she wants to be with a family who cares deeply for her and a boy worth any sacrifice. It’s more than everything she always wanted.

As Jenny and Genevieve settle into their new lives, they face an unknown evil which threatens everything they care about and makes them face tough questions—like who they are and what they really want their lives to become.

Book Details
Author: Jaclyn Weist
Release Date: April 2014
Publisher: Trifecta Books
Genre: Contemporary Fairy Tale

I LOVE FAIRY TALE TWISTS AND THIS IS A FANTASTIC ONE!

We all know the story of Sleeping Beauty...

and the curse that was broken by the kiss of the handsome prince...

Well what if that kiss not only broke the one curse but also put into play another curse...

The curse of switching the medieval princess for a modern-day teenager?

Jenny is a typical teenager with school, friends, and lots of siblings.

Princess Genevieve has lived a protected life under her mother's fears.

Now they are living in each other's world....

And each must go on a quest to find a way to break this new curse...

WITHOUT falling in love with the WRONG boy.

Can teenage girls do that?

You will read of:
*trolls and fairies
*proms and crushes
*friends and enemies
*family and love

And there are even MORE TWISTS to keep you reading until the very end... :)

SO. SO. SO. GOOD!
LOVED IT!

About the Author
I have a great husband and six beautiful, funny and smart children with ages ranging from four years old to twelve years old. I have always enjoyed both reading and writing. After owning a bookstore for a year and surviving living Down Under for five months, I had the courage to take my hobby of writing and push it in ways I never thought possible.

(A review copy was provided, however, all reviews are of my own opinion :)
