About this audiobook
Working for Grimm isn't Marissa Locks's dream job. But when your parents trade you to a Fairy Godfather for a miracle, you don't have many career options. To pay off her parents' debt and earn her freedom, Marissa must do whatever Grimm asks, no matter what fairy-tale fiasco she's called on to deal with.
Setting up a second-rate princess with a first-class prince is just another day at the office. But when the matchmaking goes wrong, Marissa and Grimm find themselves in a bigger magical muddle than ever before. Not only has the prince gone missing, but the Fae are gearing up to attack Kingdom, and a new Fairy Godmother is sniffing around Grimm's turf, threatening Marissa with the one thing she can't resist: her heart's wishes.
Now Marissa will have to take on Fairies, Fae, dragons, and princesses to save the realm-or give up any hope of ever getting her happy ending . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this - an odd combination of light and fun while also being kind of dark and violent. I definitely enjoy this perspective of fairy tales. It reminds me a bit of Mercedes Lackey's godmother series which I enjoyed so much.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I found this book a little hard to follow at times because things just didn't seem to make sense to me, or follow logically. Things weren't very well explained, or if they were, I guess I didn't find the explanation satisfactory. Plus, honestly, I found some things in it put me off...like a lot of casual references to animal abuse as if it was humourous, and a lot of negative stereotyping of women/body shaming, etc. It took me forever to finish and at times I wasn't sure I wanted to bother. I doubt I will read more in this series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am in deep heart feel with this book.
It was so fun, I mean like, remember when you were a kid and everything you did, like pretending to being anything, was out of this world fun? Yeah this was that.
The banter was amazing and at times it made me laugh out loud. It had everything I ever wanted in a wacked out fairy tale alternate world. Even though the main was a little stuck on the hope of one day going home, to the point where you wanted to beat her, but she did get over it. (In an eye opening meet the parents again kind of not good way) . If I didn't know this was part of a series it could have been a standalone.
My feels are exploding knowing it's not a stand alone!
I have to say, you have to go into this book with an open mind, don't expect it to be the traditional Fairy Tales and Happy Ever Afters type deal, because you will be sadly disappointed.
Can't wait for the next book!
Chow! - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Did I love FREE AGENT? No. Did I enjoy it? Yes. SUPER interesting concept. I don't think I had a good idea of what this book was about before I went into it, but reading over the blurb again I'm not sure how that happened. There were many parts that made absolutely no sense to me (like the opening scene) and then there were other parts that I thoroughly enjoyed. I felt the story really lacked the world building the reader needs to understand what the world is about.I still have a TON of questions. After the story was finished I felt like we didn't get enough answers on Marissa's family and her past. It hinted that she was adopted? Or was she the result of an affair on her Dads part???? You really don't get the answer, you are just left feeling like her Dad wanted her and her Mom was glad to be rid of her. Is that super important to the book as a whole? Yeah I think it kinda is. The series has GREAT potential to be super fun and I will keep an eye out for the next book.* This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
