No magic for two weeks? What’s a fairy to do? Go to Vegas, of course!

Princess Talista of the fairy clan Serendipity has been sent, like all young fairies, to a remote forest in humanspace for mandatory survival training. But headstrong Tali’s got different ideas about where to spend two weeks without magic. What better place than Las Vegas to learn to live like humans, a true test of survival?

Tali might not blend, but she’d like to be shaken and stirred with stage magician Jake Story. Their attraction is instant and electric…and Tali senses there’s more to Jake’s show than flashy tricks.

Jake always knew he was different, even before he developed an unusual flair for hypnotism. He has no trouble mesmerizing the luscious Tali during act three, but the lights that appear around them when they kiss weren’t part of the program.

When the authorities from Tali’s homeland track the missing princess to Vegas, Jake and Tali end up on the run. In between magic experiments, evil gnomes and astonishing sex, Tali learns what it really means to be human—by falling in lust, followed closely by love.

But Tali’s not human. And Jake doesn’t believe in fairies. The truth will either bind them together—or tear the fairy realm apart.

Warning, this title contains the following: Intoxicating sex, misuse of magic, gorgeous cross-dressers and flesh-eating gnomes.

  1. Recommended Read! “Wallace has created a fun and believable fairy world that I truly enjoyed. Anytime I had to put down my Kindle and stop reading, I found myself getting irritated at the interference. I wanted to hang out with Tali and Jake in real life – that’s how good this book was! Her world building was excellent as were her characterization, motivations and the plot. I devoured every word.”

  2. “All in all, this is an above average comedy fantasy romp from an author that may just appeal to you if you like fantasy romantic comedies that are amusing but not too over-the-top amusing.”

  3. “Adventures Galore are in store for the reader as author Jody Wallace takes the genre to new levels of fun and fantasy… Tali meets Jake, a magician, who rescues her from being run over by numerous vehicles, and finally takes her to the hotel where he works, and helps her get a very simple room. This act of kindness starts a chain reaction that kept this reader laughing until my hubby brought me Kleenex for my tearing eyes.”

  4. “I liked this story a lot. What a fun book Survival of the Fairest was. Talista may be concerned that she will stick out, but in Vegas where anything goes, she has nothing to worry about. For a human Jake is pretty cute. I enjoyed reading when Talista first experienced human food and alcohol. Things between Talista and Jake get really hot and heavy in the bedroom. I was wondering how it was all going to turn out between Jake and Talista, and I have to say I was happy with the ending. Survival of the Fairest is my first book by Jody Wallace, and I loved every minute of it.”

  5. Ms. Wallace has written a wonderfully entertaining story of love, magic, fairies, gnomes and almost anything else you can think of. I hope she has more stories set in this world to come. Anyone who likes fantasy stories containing the ingredients I previously mentioned should run and get this book. Just make sure you’ve got plenty of time to savor it because you won’t want to put it down once you start.
