The fourth book in the series is Helen’s Hazard – here’s a little more about it.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Helen figures she must’ve done something really bad in a former life to end up with her family: a sneaky sister dobbing her in to their deranged dad who delights in administering his twisted punishment ritual. Her mousey mum is too busy dodging punches to notice, and probably couldn’t do anything if she did.
Her Cinderella lifestyle takes a dark turn when Dad’s slimy mate babysits. He and his creepy girlfriend have strange ideas about games suitable for pre-teens, and she’s forced to swear a blood oath not to tell Mum. Those capricious fates have a few tricks - like a fairy godmother who reveals her true dad. But is it too late to save her from the monster?
As for handsome princes - they’re decidedly thin on the ground in her small English hometown, and inevitably turn into frogs when she kisses them. She never expected her first true love to be a Greek island, but she loses her heart to their way of life. Returning to work the summer before starting college, the first Greek man she encounters reeks of pride and arrogance. And she’s had way more than her fill of that.
A moonlit kiss gives her hope — but what’s the secret her sister won’t share, and will it destroy everything?
