The Impossible Becomes Reality


This series must be read in order. The first book is How (Not) To Play With Magic. The second book is How (Not) To Kiss A Toad. The third book is How (Not) To Kiss A Prince. The fourth book is How (Not) To Kiss A Beast. This is the fifth book.


Another great read :) Every book is better than the last! I am always sad when it's over because then I have to WAIT for the next one to come out :( This book answered many of the questions left open at the end of the last one How (Not) to Kiss a Beast (Cindy Eller #3) But in the end there were new unanswered questions... Elizabeth sure knows how to leave you waiting impatiently for the next book :) I love how she foreshadows the future and yet brings the conflict of each book to a sound resolution every time. On top of that all the unanswered questions in Cindy's life get answered eventually and it's fun finding out which one it will be next :) If you are looking for a series suitable for all ages this is it! It is fun and funny with plenty of action and adventure for all... dusted with magical mayhem :)




***This series is suitable for mature young adult through adult readers who enjoy modern fantasy with a fractured fairytale vibe and magical mayhem with a dash of romance :)

Wow, with every book I dislike Timothy more and more. He flipped out repeatedly, leaving Cindy high and dry while repearedly promising (and failing) not to do it again. Cindy says he is Soo wonderful, I haven't seen it. He just keeps getting whinier, he refuses to listen even when Cindy has valid arguments and he behaves childishly when she tries to speak to him. It is not often I despise a main character as much as I do Timothy.

This is a good series. I start a book, then something else pops up and it sits waiting for my return. That's how I roll. I don't always come back, but whenever I see this series it reminds to get back to it.

I enjoy the magical side mixed with the mundane problems of the world. The characters get more complex, and at the end of this one the family is going to face consequences that they hadn't anticipated.

The good part is that there are at least 9 more in the series as well as many more.

Great job.

Into the Woods

I am torn between rushing to read the next book and finding out what happens next and checking out the sisters 'series to explore the mysteries hinted at. At least I don't have wait for months for the next book.

Fun series

I'm new to reading this series and have read a few out of sequence, but have thoroughly enjoyed the characters and stories. Look forward to reading more.

[Jennifer Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book brought me to tears in some parts. I felt the heartbreak the characters went through. and as always, the book ends on a cliffhanger eagerly awaiting the next book.

Good

Always enjoy reading about Cindy's escapades. Magic and mayhem seem to follow where ever she goes.Her whole family is crazy, and the names are something else😀

In Short: Cindy Eller (pun intended!) is a skillful baker and still discovering all about her witchy powers. She is happy as can be running her booming sweets business with her erratic family and loving boyfriend. Her beau, Timothy, creates ice cream flavors based on Cindy's flavor palettes. As her sisters start disappearing and Timothy's "mother ghost" making spontaneous appearances, she whisks off to the Middle Lands to save her family. Reluctantly she calls on the father she has never known to help them all.

Great plot! This one is my favorite in the Cindy Eller series so far. It was a bit more suspenseful than previous titles making it a great change in pace and kept me hooked. I think I devoured it in an afternoon. This time Cindy had to depend on herself and her own magic as a ton of her clan disappeared. She learned more about herself and her chaotic, mysterious gift. Lastly, her father's entrance was anything but boring.

Wow!! this was a FABULOUS read!!!!!! i literally read the whole book in one afternoon!! It was so good i just couldnt stop til i knew what happened!! i love the traveling to the middle lands and it sort of being a fairytale type world...that just was nicely done! And its a castle too..i could imagine in my head about it looking like a old medieval castle with stone walls and flooring and all the tapestry...it was perfect! And i am so glad cindy got to meet her father! Now she knows who an what she is and all the consquences that can happen. What w nail biter this was!!! Cant wait for the 5th book to get done!!! Hats off to Elizabeth Reeves for being such an amazing writer!!!

I just finished reading book 4 in the Cindy Eller series and I am complete hooked. I am already jonesing for book number 5 and I'm really praying that it comes out soon! This book picks up right where 3 left off. The pace of this book is a bit faster than others in the series because there is so much going on.(This is a good thing).

This book is a mix of everything including paranormal, mystery, romance and humor. These books are chick lit at the finest level! I am hooked on this author and can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!!!

[Nocturnal Bookworm · Rating 5 out of 5]

You definitely never know what to expect from one of Elizabeth's books....but you can always expect a great read! Another awesome adventure for Cindy and her group, full of unexpected twists and magical mysteries. In this story you get to learn more about Cindy's mysterious lineage and just who....or what really appears to Cindy at the end of the last book. This one definitely tugs your hear strings....enjoy the emotional roller coaster!

Now that was intense! I think this and the first book are my favourite ones so far! And at last we get to meet Lenus! Hurray! About time! Not in the best circumstances, but still...! And again I shed some tears while reading it, there were a lot of emotions at stake. And that was a cliff hanger if I ever read one... Can't wait to put my hands on the next book!

Cindy meets her dad only to lose him. Now after the dust settles the family will be tried for treason, to be continued.........

Sit down with some sweet snacks and gobble up this installment of the Cindy Eller series. Cindy finally meets her father and learns just how much magic she has. And her boyfriend learns there are even secrets in his past.

[Tabby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome!

Cindy Eller has become one of my favorite characters, along with Goldie of course. I hope eventually there is a series for each family member. I would definitely start this series from the beginning.

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved seeing a bit of the Fae in this book. I still haven't figured out why the magic council doesn't want magical creatures having anything to do with Faerie. I am hoping that I find out in one of the next few books.

[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lmao

I'm glad the mystery of Pollos y Margaritas was solved in this one. That had me questioning my sanity.

Great book! Loved Lenus!! Would love to see a lot more of him. Going to have to get into the Goldie Locke books. Curiouser and curiouser.

[Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

I can not get enough of these books. They are light and fun and funny. I can't wait for the next Cindy book. Thank goodness I have a Goldie book to read!! Love the free and easy writing.

[Ananda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I do love these little books. It's such a light fun world to slip into. Although this last one tugged at my heart strings more than the others. Still I cant wait for more.

Finally, a mystery! Kind of! I wish I had so much more information, though. I feel like I keep walking away from these books with more questions than answers.

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really like this one. We see a new portion of Cindy's life and learn somewhat more but are also left with many unanswered questions. I must read the next one.

[Haizle The Princess · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best one out of the Cindy Eller series, so far. Can't wait to read the next one.

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

This falls in line with the others. Cute, quick and easy to read.
