Codename Fairy Godmother: Reassigned
I wanted to really like this book. And there were many reasons to do so. Jan 16, roxtao rated it it was amazing.

And the stories are often going in the same direction, being pretty predictable. Reassigned, the first book in Codename Fairy Godmother series came in the perfect moment, showing me that I was wrong. I must thank the author, Tanjlisa Marie for the opportunity to read this book. Because the story was beyond expectation and every chapter surprised me!
Of course, usually there are enough twists and turns, so you still feel the tension, but overall, you have an idea about the ending. Well, in Reassigned, the things are totally different. But, because a dream turned in reality has a price, the Fairy Godmother Organization has a department responsible for the debts recovery.
Agent Thunder is one of the Huntresses. When she meets a man that seems to be much more than a simple human being, she is warned about his malefic character and reassigned in a normal fairy godmother job, in order to interact with children and make their wishes come true. We get here some irresistible moments, when the tough Huntress is almost forced to wear a princess dress, to receive a pink room and to support some makeover changes that are way too sweet and cute.
And her new missions are very far away from the job she used to have and used to love. Meeting again with the diabolic villain, who is a seductive leprechaun, she chooses to discover alone the truth about him. And soon, she sees that everything she heard about him seems to be false. Their story has some weird turns and Thunder finds out some secrets about Ciaran, the leprechaun, about herself and her extended family which are so shocking that her whole life is inverted. The ending is far from anything the readers might imagine. None of the guesses are real and nothing that you could suspect is going to happen.
I was delighted by this book! We have warrior fairies, ethereal fairies, magic, ETs, sexy leprechauns and other mystic beings, a genius child, a primitive tribe and some ancient legends, suspense and thrilling moments and some charming characters. In addition to the main idea, the author introduces some interesting secondary storylines that make the book even more captivating. So, if you need a very different fantasy story, choose Reassigned!

I wanted to like this book, I really did. The premise sounds great: Agent Thunder is a Huntress with the Fairy Godmother Organisation, who operate from the planet Platherus, and rather than granting wishes to children like most fairy godmothers do, she hunts down I wanted to like this book, I really did. Agent Thunder is a Huntress with the Fairy Godmother Organisation, who operate from the planet Platherus, and rather than granting wishes to children like most fairy godmothers do, she hunts down the adults they have become in those cases when the adult failed to keep the promise they made when their wish was granted.
On one of these missions she meets a magically very powerful and highly attractive man, Ciaran Darcy. According to the Godmother Queen, Ciaran is a leprechaun, one of the most dangerous enemies of fairy godmothers, so for her own protection Agent Thunder is reassigned to wish-granting duties. She enjoys scaring people and inflicting pain on them.
Now, I will admit that the other fairies especially are rather annoying as well, but I still like to see some characteristics in the protagonist that makes me care about them. The Queen Mother reassigns Thunder to wish-granting duty so she can keep a better eye on her, but then Thunder disappears to Earth for months on end without ever being checked on. Just a few examples though: Ciaran is constantly described as both delectable and huge, and I found it distracting.
Descriptions of things that happen are sometimes very over the top, or use metaphors that I found odd. There was little variety in the names used - Agent Thunder is always Agent Thunder, her motorbike is always her Hayabusa, and at one point 'Leprechaun Darcy' was used about three times in quick succession. The editing was good, and there were very few spelling or grammatical errors. I was given a copy by the author for a non-biased, non-reciprocal review.
Feb 03, Alisa rated it liked it Recommended to Alisa by: This book was the first book I won as a giveaway on Goodreads. Naturally, I was ecstatic. The idea of this book was very refreshing. I mean, fairy godmothers? In this story, the fairy godmothers do grant wishes, but only to children between five and puberty.
They also have to pay a price. Later in their life, they have to do something similar to another child what the godmother did to them. If they don't, they are hunted by the Huntresses. I never thought the Huntresses would actua This book was the first book I won as a giveaway on Goodreads. I never thought the Huntresses would actually hunt something! Thunder is one of these Huntresses, if you couldn't guess. When Thunder meets a Leprechaun, one of the enemies of the fairies, she must be assigned.
Making Leprechauns and Fairies enemies was a brilliant idea. The queen was very fun to read. She was hilarious at times. The setting was great. Fairies live on another planet. They can warp, or teleport to Earth. However, at times, I didn't think this planet was thought through enough, and was only used as a plot device. In some incidents, Reassigned was very funny. At the beginning of this book, I thought I would love it. The Huntress, or Agent Thunder was epic. She knew how to fight and scare people.
The nickname, Homosap, given to humans, was an awesome idea. There were some twists I didn't see coming, and some I did. Now, for the parts I didn't like.

- When We Were Two - An Xcite Books collection of five erotic stories.

First, the way Thunder met Ciaran. He was a lawyer to one of the people Thunder had to hunt down. And he was, like, nineteen. Ciaran's boss was a rich guy, and he decided to hire a nineteen year old. Some of the fight scenes were stupid. For example, Thunder did a cartwheel towards a guy. This isn't Xena, okay? And, Karate-chopping a guy's neck. I don't know why, but whenever I see karate-chopping in a book, I start laughing.
I do martial art, and I don't Karate-chop anyone. They also screamed a lot during the fighting scenes. Not the "fighting" scenes. That annoyed me a lot. Sometimes, Thunder was an idiot. For example, she didn't realize Ciaran wasn't human when he saw through lots of smoke. Also, in a burning fire, she thought about how hot Ciaran's face was. There was also some insta-love. There was some bad grammar. During the telekinesis thoughts, all the sentences seemed to run together.
I didn't like how Thunder kept on screaming, "Holy Fairy Dust! It just bugged me a lot. There was also that Twilight scene where the guy stares at the girl and the waitress is clearly lusting over him, but the guy doesn't see it. Also, there was this Star Wars moment. All in all, this was a descent book. It was sort of light-hearted and fun.

I will never rest until my good is better and my better is best. Akin to Grimm on TV, this is a recasting of fairy and leprechaun roles with a modern update to black leather and biker chic, magic wands, instant scene changes, wish granting and debt collection methods drawn from The Godfather. If spontaneous combustion has a mother, she is it. She is pitted against Ciaran, an alpha-hunka-hunka, who is in character diabolique with a thick Irish accent.
Together, their waltz could spin a Samoan creation myth, though the banks of the Arkansas River will do nicely. Engrossed after three pages, I just wanted to know what made these fairies tick. By what rules do they grant wishes? And when was Agent Thunder appearing in my bedroom at 3am, wand at the ready? Come on down, says I, in my asbestos PJs. By page , I could only sip ice-water while soaking in the bath tub until I had read every page.
Descriptive and alliterative, each sentence has been massaged to masterly atmospheric effect. OK, Tanjlisa Marie, set me up for a shot of pixie dust. Who knew pulling emotions from a fairy was like visiting the dentist. I vote for the asthmatic genius in the day bed and am ready to be tattooed head to toe to walk a pristine Pacific island if it keeps the volcanoes benign. Now, about that wish? I only get one?

Amazing - I loved the cover and I regularly went back to the cover, just to look at how beautifully it was designed. At the start I was quite interested in Agent Thunder, although I really found her name to be unoriginal. However, when this fairy godmother huntress chases down a "homosap" as the book describes humans, the author unfortunately makes the mistake of allowing the homosap's thoughts display on the pages of the novel, which is incorrect when writing from a third person li Cover: However, when this fairy godmother huntress chases down a "homosap" as the book describes humans, the author unfortunately makes the mistake of allowing the homosap's thoughts display on the pages of the novel, which is incorrect when writing from a third person limited point of view, in which the rest of the book is written.
If this mistake is corrected, the novel will have greater flow. I struggled at the start to get into it - mostly because of the name choices that annoyed me. However, once the sadistic leprechaun finally made his appearance, I started getting into it, finding that the author started to become much more relaxed with her writing as well. At the start of the novel I was under the impression that the novel was written for a younger age group, but later I realised that it was written for an older, more mature young-adult crowd - which is quite confusing and probably why I only started enjoying the novel halfway through.
Even though Agent Thunder fell in love with the leprechaun, I found him off-putting from the start, and could not feel what Agent Thunder was feeling for him. Once the fighting starts, the book finally takes off, and I was engrossed, and unable to put the book down. I finally thought - yes, now you've got it right. The novel was entertaining even through my many objections to some of the choices the author had made.
It is an enjoyable read, and I liked Agent Thunder's feisty personality. Many readers will probably find this book entertaining and enjoy this new take on what fairy godmothers do - the "huntress" take on the fairy godmothers was very well thought out. The books ends very bluntly and awkwardly. I was given a complimentary copy of the novel and was under no obligation to write a good review. Feb 02, Amy H rated it it was amazing Shelves: I felt like i was in the story the whole time and also felt all the feelings deep inside me.
Her name is agent thunder. She is a fairy godmother. Thunder is not like all the rest of the fairy's. SHe has fire red hair, and she can turn it to fire with her emotions. Thunder is a chaser. Her job is to make sure the "homosaps" aka humans repay their debt from when they were children. S this was by far the best book i have read this year.
She was to convince the "homosaps" to repay their debt without hurting them. Thunder always lived by the rules and made sure everyone new about it. Thunder felt emotions that she never thought could happen to them. Thunder's life was now in danger because of this leprechaun. Her leader the mother fairy godmother told her that she will have to move to the other side of her planet and take a different job because of this leprechaun.
Thunder was determined to get this job done as fast as she could so this leprechaun could forget about her and she coud have her old job back. Thunder then met a child named solaris. Thunder spent almost everyday with her until she now put the child in danger. She believed him until something happend. Truth be told I had a hard time with this book.

I did love that it was completely original and I had no idea what was going to happen next. I thought it was choppy and didn't flow right. The characters were very shallow and two-dimensional. They had no depth to them. The only character I loved was Solaris.
Reward Yourself
She was smart, caring, and an absolute genius. This book is about a Fairy Godmother named Thunder who is a Huntress. Huntresses are essentially the debt collectors for prices of the wishes gra Truth be told I had a hard time with this book. Huntresses are essentially the debt collectors for prices of the wishes granted. During a mission she runs into a leprechaun named Ciaran Darcy who for some inexplicable reason she is drawn to.
Her Queen Mother puts her in witness protection and she is reassigned as a Wish Granter so that Ciaran will never find her. The only problem with that is Ciaran has a piece of her and can find her anywhere. They fall in love but at what price? When two beings so powerful fall in love there will be collateral damage? Are they willing to pay it or must one die to stop the vicious cycle? I love that they are of an alien race. I thought it was too choppy. It didn't flow well. Then things started making sense. Even after that though there were a lot of holes. I thought that Thunder was too emotionless until the ending then it all made sense.
But until the end I couldn't stand her character. It didn't even try to feel or live or experience anything. She does eventually but the cost is too great. Ciaran bugged me too.

I loved that he was like a charming sociopath but I didn't like that he didn't even try to fight his nature to be with Thunder. He just decided killing his own soul-mate would be better than fighting his darker half. I loved Solaris' character though. She was adorable in a genius with pizzazz kind of way. Overall it was ok. I tried to like it I really did and it really isn't that bad I just had a hard time reading it. I almost couldn't finish it. Jun 02, Venise Webb rated it really liked it. For me, I can't say that Reassigned was a fresh take on a lore that I've read many times.
That's because I've never read anything like it. I'm not big on faery stories but I've read a few. Reassigned was nothing like them. It was a creative and new take on bedtime stories I read as a child. Who knew that, as an adult, I could thoroughly enjoy a story about fairy godmothers?
Agent Thunder works for the Fairy Godmother Organization yes, there is a whole organization of them. Instead of the chubby For me, I can't say that Reassigned was a fresh take on a lore that I've read many times. Instead of the chubby grandmother type we all knew in Cinderella, Thunder is a badass redhead on a Hayabusa. She is a Huntress, meaning she hunts and collects on children who grew up to adults and didn't repay on the wish they were granted as children.
I love paranormal and fantasy books. What I love more is books that makes me feel like I am introduced to a entirely new world instead of just a retake on something that's been done millions of times. I also love strong heroines and Tanjlisa Marie delivered on that effortlessly. Although it took me some time to identify and like Thunder, I eventually did. Ciaran was the perfect bad boy hero with the right amount of charm and mystery to make me fall in love with him. Although the story started right in the mist of some action Agent Thunder going to collect on a Homosap , it still seemed to start slow and took some time before I got caught up in it.
Other than that, I absolutely loved the book. It took me on twists and turns that was completely unexpected. Mar 04, Courtney rated it liked it Shelves: Reassigned By Tanjlisa Marie. If you like conspiracies, chicks that kick butt, and arbitrary fight scenes then read this book! A timeless love story? Or an unpredictable battle of evil versus uh, the lesser-of-the-two evils? Agent Thunder, the fairy godmother.
He falls for her. She falls for him. She wants to snap his neck in four places and remove his head for a keepsake.
