Fairy Bad Day by Amanda Ashby

cliche cliche cliche cliche cliche cute cute cliche cliche cliche
Started off with an interesting premise. Students are trained at a school to kill paranormal creatures. As they go through school, they are given one species to train exclusively in eliminating. Emma's mother is a world renown dragon killer who died last year fighting a dragon. Emma of course wants to be given the title of dragon killer because it's not only in her blood, it's what her mother was famous for. Unfortunately, instead of dragons, she's given fairies, which are the weakest and least threatening of all the creatures. And instead, the golden boy of the class, Curtis is given dragons.
Fuming in jealousy and anger, Emma half-heartedly tries to kill fairies while trying to get her coveted position back. But then it turns out that the fairies are hiding a secret, a ginormous ancient and evil fairy is trying to break into the human world.
Well.
Curtis was cute, a little golden haired boy who's not just a little mysterious. The first half of the book was enticing and fueled the patience you need to get through the second half of the book. The second half, unfortunately, reads like an Indiana Jones book, where people search through clues and try to find the mystery of the fairies. I think I would have bought it a little better if everything didn't happen in about five minutes. Poof, the book Emma's dad hands her JUST HAPPENS to be the book to end all their troubles! The fairies that Emma talks to JUST HAPPEN to tell her fairies' greatest weakness!
Long story short, the book ended too easily and not enough troubles for Emma. But otherwise, fairly cute.
