~Characters
The characters in this story were few but memorable.

Roman, by contrast, is a m ...more
Storybook, Inc. is an extremely interesting book with an amazing twist. Parker Pace outdoes herself here! It's the number one example to not to judge a book by its cover. Storybook, Inc. is now one of my favorite books and I would recommend it to any fan of action and thriller.

Show-Stopping YA Novel … With a Scary Good Twist Ending
Storybook, Inc. by Parker Pace is the story of Mica Psmith, a high school senior, who is inducted into a weird what-appears-to-be-but-might-not-be game.

An extraordinary and compelling novel that is engrossing reading.
Highly intelligent, suffering from depression, and kicked out of school, Mica Psmith is offered a deal which sounds suspicious to her but her mother and her stepfather think it is a good idea. Against her better judgement, or her choice, she goes for an evaluation by a doctor to determine whether she is competent and ready for the mysterious training alternative that will in any event allow her to graduate from school and then rece ...more

I was approached by the author with this book. While the cover left me underwhelmed, I was intrigued by the premise and had to pick it up! I expected to pace myself over the weekend with a thrilling but short read, and was left swiping through the pages at such a speed that I couldn’t put it down. This book was the perfect length for my weekend off and the plot was enough to make me feel like I had more than enough pages to get through and keep myself entertained.

Opening the book with the scene where Mica Psmith (P is silent) is being expelled from school certainly grips your attention. The fact that the principal conveniently has an option for her to complete school on time, a selective and secretive boarding school. The brochure is creepy, as is the feeling Mica gets from the principal, however, her mother and stepfather are on board with getting her enrolled and her fate is sealed. But is this truly a selective boarding school? Or something more sinis

This thriller book was a great read. The pacing was spot on as well as the mystery. It was a book I couldn’t put down. The character development was also really well done. Mica and Roman were both very interesting characters. However, I will say, Mica was my favorite because I really liked how strong she was throughout the story. I won’t give spoilers away, but I will say if you like a good mystery with characters that keep you guessing, then this book needs to be your next read. I definitely re

Wow
Never read a book that got a person so inside the emotional change of the character. Also putting a twist inside a twist and with a bullet proof vest. Wow!

Very interesting
This book is nothing you would expect or you read before. The story is twisted at first ! Her dreams , or is what o thought so, at the doctor office during her initial visit reminded me of my dreams when I am overly tiered. Highly recommended .
