Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Slumber

Once upon a time, Ruby believed in magic…

When Ruby volunteers to take her mother's housecleaning shift at the gothic Cottingley Heights mansion, she thinks it's going to be business as usual. Clean out the fridge, scrub toilets, nothing too unusual. But nothing could prepare her for the decadent squalor she finds within. Rich people with more money than sense trashing their beautiful clothes and home just because they can. After the handsome Tam discovers her cleaning up after him and his rich friends, Ruby has never felt more like a character from her sister’s book of fairy tales.

Tam sees beyond Ruby’s job and ratty clothes, and sweeps her off her feet, treating her like a real princess, but Ruby is sure this beautiful boy is too good to be true. And as one tragedy after another befalls Ruby and her family, Ruby painfully learns that magic is all too real, and it always comes with a price.

[Full disclosure: I received a free ARC ebook through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.]I decided to request Slumber through NetGalley despite my misgivings about it being a typical Cinderella fairytale romance where fairies are only said to be vicious but are actually pretty tame. Boy, was I wrong.Tamara Blakes fairies go back to the roots of their legends and are really, truly vicious bordering on sadistic. Well, maybe passing into sadistic quite frequently rather than just bordering

I received Slumber as an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.Ruby's family seems to live under a dark cloud. Her mother, overworked and underpaid, has fallen ill. Ruby herself has to help care for her younger sister with practically no money. Her dream of attending an NYU drama program seems like an impossible fantasy. Then one day Ruby takes a shift in a mysterious Hamptons 'castle' as a housekeeper and everything changes.Tam is gorgeous and charming. In a short time, he practically

Slumber is an incredible and crazy whirlwind tale about 17 year old, Ruby and her family's struggles in life. Ruby, her mother and her sister, Shelley, live near the Hamptons but they don't live the 'typical' Hamptons lifestyle. The three of them live in a Trailer Park and struggle to pay the bills each month. As Ruby's mother becomes ill, Ruby is forced to take her mothers place for a scheduled cleaning job at the Cottingley Heights mansion. When Ruby enters the house she is absolutely appalled

Ooh, what a delightful little find. This is why I love Netgalley. Because in amongst a load of good books (and a few not-so-good), now and then I come across a real gem that I probably would never have read otherwise. And now it's my job to convince you that you want to read it too!The mesh between urban life and magic is perfect here. Ruby is as real as it gets - reduced to sorry circumstances, living in a trailer park with her mum and little sister, her grades at school slipping because she

3.5 starsI received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.I LOVE THIS COVER!! It is what initially drew me in and made me want to read this book. I wanted to love this book, not only because I loved the cover but I loved the storyline, but it was so friggin weird. I really enjoyed the first half of the novel, once the second half hit you could tell the story was dealing with a creature that wasn't human but it didn't come right out and tell you what it was until about

3.5Brief summary: Ruby and her family are poor, so poor in fact that Ruby has to work as a maid. One day she gets sent to clean at a strange estate, Conttingsly. There the people are all gorgeous, but their behavior is wild and reckless. She meets Tam, one of the beautiful residents, and Violt, who hates her practically upon site. When strange things start happening to her, her mother becomes sick, and the family s unexplainable evicted, Ruby goes to Tam for answers. Ruby must find a way to

I read this book because 1, I like the cover and 2, my daughter is called Ruby. I'm so glad that the Ruby in this 'fairy' story has morals and balls!She shows the faeries up for what they truly are: beautiful, selfish and evil. The ending is left open, so maybe Ruby can make a comeback in another tale...
