Publisher Description
In The Broken, people shop at Walmart, and magic only lives in fairy tales; in The Weird, aristocrats still rule and the strength of your magic controls your fate; and The Edge is the borderland where anything can happen...
Rose Drayton and her two young brothers live in the Edge and are among the most gifted of the people there. In Rose's case, her abilities are so powerful that men from the Edge and the Weird want to marry her. So When Declan Camarine – a blueblood noble from one of the Weird's most powerful families – shows up she tells him what she's told all the others: Go away!
But Declan offers Rose a challenge – Give him three tasks, and if he completes them, she will belong to him; if he fails, he'll leave and never return. Coming up with must-fail plans is soon the least of Rose's concerns: first, Declan is becoming a little too appealing; second the boys actually like him; and then the terrible magic-stealing hounds come...and it looks like working together is the only way to stop them and save The Edge."A fascinating world combined with pulse-pounding action and white-hot romance makes On the Edge a winner!" –Jeaniene Frost, New York Times bestselling author of At Grave's End
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Andrews (Magic Bites) takes dysfunctional family stories to a new level in this engaging urban fantasy series opener. Rose Drayton and her two young brothers live in the woods between two worlds: the Broken (mundane smalltown Georgia) and the Weird (a world of strong magic and rigid social hierarchy). Those on the Edge between the two possess individual magical abilities. Rose has perfected her talent, a deadly white flash, and now the Weird's aristocrats envy her power. Is it a coincidence that vicious hounds invade to steal magic and destroy the Edgers just as Weird blueblood Declan Camarine demands that Rose become his bride? Though Rose rejects Declan's advances, the two must join forces to save her brothers and others on the Edge. Andrews has created a complex plot and convincing characters that will keep the pages turning.

Excellent story I throughly enjoyed reading it
Great read!!!
It's like a Twinkie. Urban fantasy, but not exactly; modern fairy tale, but different. Highly enjoyable. Familiar elements given a clever twist (I loved the 3 tasks). Great read.
