Book Review: Enchanted

Enchanted is written by Alethea Kontis.

Summary:
Sunday is one of the seven Woodcutter sisters. When she happens to meet an Enchanted frog one morning, he asks to read out of the journal she's carrying. Soon, they become fast friends. They might even be falling in love. But, then the frog's enchantment is lifted, and he is a man once again. The man that Sunday and her family have come to hate because of an event that happened in the past. Will she be able to love him despite that? Will he be able to win her back?

Violence:
Magic (which isn't violent.. but I threw it in this category anyway), deaths, talk about blood being used for magic purposes.

Romance:
A few kisses.

Profanity:
As* and Dam*

Suggested Age:
12+

My Opinion:
This book frustrated the absolute heck out of me. It's a beautiful story, and really well told.
But.
Why are there so many curse words? If this is a story written for pre-teens... what the heck are the words doing in there?
The book was great. I felt the story was awesome, and it was told in an interesting way. Of course... towards the end, I had some issues with Sunday (I didn't agree with one of her decisions... I was actually quite confused).
However, it was a good read. :)
