De ene beschouwt het als minderwaardig omdat boeken uit dit genre niet vaak een literaire prijs krijgen toegereikt. De andere durft er niet in te beginnen omdat ze schrik hebben dat het te nihilistisch zal zijn. Een grote groep mensen rekent deze boeken ongetwijfeld tot de ‘guilty pleasures’-categorie. En ik? Ik ben er helemaal gek van.

“What happens when happily ever after … isn’t?
Delilah hates school as much as she loves books. In fact, there’s one book in particular she can’t get enough of. If anyone knew how many times she has read and reread the sweet little fairy tale she found in the library, especially the popular kids, she’d be sent to social Siberia … forever.
To Delilah, though, this fairy tale is more than just words on the page. Sure, there’s a handsome (well, okay, hot) prince, and a castle, and an evil villain, but it feels as if there’s something deeper going on. And one day Delilah finds out there is. Turns out, this Prince Charming is real, and e certain fifteen-year-old loner has caught his eye. But they’re from two different worlds, and how can it ever possibly work?”

“Ice-cold Breed warrior Nathan is on a mission for the Order to expose the members of a secret cabal called Opus Nostrum, comprised of both human and Breed members. But Nathan’s allegiance to the Order is challenged when his pursuit leads him to Martin Gates, the wealthy patriarch of a high society Breed family, and the father of ethereal Jordana Gates, a woman far out of Nathan’s leage and one he craves like no other.
A few weeks before, the couple shared an unexpected, stolen kiss … a kiss that Nathan is unable to forget. And soon Nathan and Jordana are swept into a passion that will force him to choose between duty towards his Order Brethren, and desire for the one woman he cannot resist.”
