My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What’s a fairy tale without a villain? This is the first book I have read by the imaginative and amazing Cori Cooper, and I kick myself for not reading one sooner. Officially one of my new favorite authors of 2024 and one of my new favorite books.
Maddy is like me, always follows the rules, ALL OF THEM. Never doing anything outside of them. At least that was before the gift that changed everything. Every teenager thinks about their birthday and getting closer to being an “adult”, but Maddy’s seventeenth birthday changed everything. Grams got her a DNA test. Strange but okay she’d always wanted to do one and now was her chance to finally know what she was made of. How is that even tested for and what does it all mean. Living your life dreaming about happily ever after and then being told you’re a quarter villain makes Maddy question everything. Is it even possible to have a happy ending when you’re a villain? Just as she was trying to understand what she was her best friend Leo is banished to another realm. Once again everything changes but she is ready to do anything to get Leo back, even if it means being a villain.
How can the villain save someone? Is Leo her happy ever after she always dreamed of? What does “being a villain” truly mean for Maddy? The world the author creates is breathtaking. The way she weaves different fairy tale aspects together but also brings in some modern-day elements and truly brings this world to life. Maddy’s journey leading to the test and navigating the results is inspiring. Just because your DNA says your something doesn’t mean that’s what you’re destined to be. I truly cannot wait to see what Maddy and Leo conquer next.

One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper. This is a really good young adult fantasy that is a spin off of a fairy tale. Its the story of Maddy and on her 17th birthday she gets a DNA kit from her grandma. She does it and sends it off but doesn’t think anything else about it. Her mom practically had to bribe her to send it off. When she gets the results back she is horrified, it tells her she is part villain and what does that even mean. She is suddenly thrown into another realm to save her best friend and she realizes what being a villain entails. Her best friend has been mistakenly sent to this other realm so Maddy has to find him and get him home. Maddy ends up working with the other realm because there is a problem with it and they actually listen to what Maddy has to say about the two realms not working together. Maddy is determined to save her best friend and will do whatever it takes to find him. Such a good story full of twists, turns and major chaos. It will have you flipping the pages late in the night.

On Maddy’s 17th birthday, her grandmother sent her a DNA kit to submit. Maddy doesn’t understand why it would matter. She knows who her parents and grandparents are so who cares about the rest right? Maddy forgets about the kit until a few weeks later when her mother confronts her about it and tells her that since it means so much to her grandmother, Maddy should just get it over with and do it. After threatening to withhold a fun trip Maddy has planned with her friends she finally does it.

When her results come back, Maddy is confused when it says she’s 25% villain. Is it a typo? Must be. Based on both her mother and grandmother’s reaction, she isn’t so sure. Then the phone calls from a strange organization start up. Maddy’s views have always been black and white. There is good and there is evil. No one can be both. Now she has no idea what to think. She is one of the most trustworthy, rule following, goody two shoes. No way can she be part villain.

Then her best friend and potential love interest gets banished to another realm and it is up to Maddy to go and save him. She will have to let go of everything she has once known to do this.

I really enjoyed this book. Just the premise of finding out if you are a villain via a DNA test was intriguing enough to me to pick this book. The author did a wonderful job portraying a confused teenage girl on a journey of finding herself while trying to find someone else. There is action and adventure around every corner. I could not put the book down once I started it.

This book was an amazing retelling of beauty and the beast. This had a few different twists and turns into it that really kept it entertaining. One aspect that I thought was interesting was that being a villain actually was in your DNA and can even show up. This book was also had a magical twist to it and caused so much mayhem that it was interesting to know if this would end in happily every after or not. This book also had some references to all the other fairly tales that we all know and love to read. it was so entertaining that I couldn’t put it down, filled with adventure, action, fantasy, magic, mystery, 9and so much more it really had me hooked till the end. Maddy and Leo really bring the story together, banished to another world, and to try and save themselves and figure out how and what to do really made this a really great read.

This was a really cute story with a different take on fairy tales. The main female character, Maddy, is given a DNA test by her grandmother. When she gets her results she finds that she is one quarter villian. This throws her and her best friend, the main male character Leo, into a story of their own. This is a great story for younger kids just starting out with chapter books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the start I was hooked into the book. It’s a very well written fairytale romance and just a touch of suspense to keep the reader fully submerged into the story. I could feel George’s sadness and despair pining over a possible “one that got away”. Then seeing George open his heart to love made my heart swoon. Even though this book is part of a series, it’s written well enough that it can be read as a standalone also. I cannot wait to see what happens next for this book series

I loved this one. It’s George’s story, yet also an angel/fairy love story (you’ll see). I really loved that concept. The ones helping him had their own love found too. It’s an intriguing story. I found myself right back into the fun of following George as he’s trying to get over his broken heart. The story is well-written. I loved all the characters. The details are so thought out and planned well. It’s such a relatable story even being a fairy tale. You just can’t help feeling for George. I can’t wait for the next book.

This is the first book I have read by the author Cori Cooper. It is a surprising and fun YA fantasy book. There were times that the book was a little on the slow side, but it wasn’t so slow that it took away from the book. It is jam-packed with adventure, quirky & loving characters, wonderful fantasy worldbuilding, teenage drama, magic, emotions all over the place, and so much more!

The concept of doing a DNA test to see if you have “villain” in your heritage is such an interesting idea and then to expand that idea into finding out your ‘tendencies’ is even more interesting! The most fascinating aspect for me is that we all want to be seen for who we are now, or who we are trying to become, not who we used to be. No one wants to be known for the past. What had me hooked was the statement “Every good fairy tale needs a villain” because YES!!

Maddy is less than thrilled when her DNA results come back with 1/4 villain, not only is she not thrilled, she is insanely confused by her mom and grams reactions to the DNA results. What does this even mean?

Maddy figures out quickly that the world she knew is completely incorrect, there are magical realms. After Maddy’s best friend is banished to another realm, she MUST go rescue him. After things take a turn for the worst, Maddy starts to think there is fact to her DNA results – could she actually be villain, does that make her a bad person? Maddy’s black/white view of you can only be good OR evil, but not both, is turned upside down, and I absolutely loved how she grows as a person!

All of the characters involved in the story were so personal and entertaining, especially Leo. There is a wonderful mix of modern day teenager and magical fairytale. The ending was *perfection* – one of the best endings I’ve read! The book does not end on a cliffhanger, BUT, I would love to see where Maddy and Leo’s story goes, so I am looking forward to that. This is an amazing book for YA, while there is some romance, it is wholesome. This would also be a good pallet cleanser for just a clean, fun, and quirky book! Highly recommend too anyone YA (and even older!) who enjoys a little modern mixed with their fairytale magic.

On Maddy’s 17th birthday her grandmother gifted her a DNA kit to find out more about her heritage. After reluctantly not turning it in right away she finally does and finds out she is 25% Villain!! Maddy thinks its a typo but then she keeps getting calls and emails from someplace called VDA. Maddy confided in her best friend Leo and after taking a quiz where Leo answers jokingly to all the answers and Maddy answers honestly, Leo disappears the next day and nobody but Maddy, her mom and grandmother remember him.

This book is filled with 2nd chances, sweet, fun, family and a whole lot of love. I won’t ruin the ending, but it is a great read and I can’t wait for my daughter to start it after her current read.

This is a really good YA fantasy adventure. I have read books by this author before and I have loved them all. This was such a good read that I couldn’t put it down.
The author has a great skill for world building and writing characters that you can’t help but be invested in.

When Maddy gets a DNA test kit of her gran for her birthday she isnt impressed but decides to do it anyway. Little does she realise the results will alter her life forever.
Turns out Maddie is one quarter villian. What does that even mean?
With her friend Leo they try to figure out what it means. When they both take the test to find out how bad they are Leo doesn’t take it seriously which then causes him the he taken to another world.
When Leo disappears Maddie has to face challenges and obstacles to try and save Leo but these challenges have her starting to question just how much of a villain she does have inside her.
Is Maddie really a villain? Can she save Leo?
This is an interesting look at good Vs evil and whether we are born that way or our choices in life make us that way.
With the fantasy/fairytale elements added in it makes the story and references easier to understand for younger audiences as well as older ones.

Cori Cooper’s YA fantasy, One Quarter Villain, is such a fun, exciting, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of read. I fell in love with the characters, who are well-rounded, humorous, and fabulously flawed. I fell in love with the world building, the added elements of well-known fairy tales mixed in with unique and adventurous new places. The drama, secrets, friendship and family dynamics, touch of magic, and additional challenges kept me guessing until the very end. Maddy’s world, and her belief in only good or only evil (very black and white existence) is turned upside down when she learns she is one quarter Villain by blood. There is so much going on in this story, but it all flows well together and creates a one of a kind story that I couldn’t put down.

his story is by an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy their writing style as well as their creativity that make their characters pop off the pages. This is a well written story about Maddy. She is one that always follows the rules until she turns seventeen and a DNA test changes everything for her. Now she finds herself in a fairytale that she has always dreamed of. Will she have to make a choice to be a villain or the happily ever after she has dreamed about? I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. I felt for her in parts and way to go in other parts. She made the story easy and entertaining to read. There is great growth throughout the story with Maddy and the plot that made it hard to put down. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book.

I wish I could read this over and over for the first time. I truly enjoyed every chapter. There are many life lessons that Maddy learns that make you think and consider your own actions. I definitely think this will be a book I suggest for my daughter when she’s older.

Maddy & Leo have such a fun friendship, and like in so many instances, they balance each other out perfectly. Maddy is thoughtful, serious and quieter where Leo is loud, spontaneous and silly. They truly are the best of friends.
Grams is so comforting and knowledgeable. Both by opening up about her own history and to help Maddy with what she is going through currently.

I look forward to reading more about Maddy and Leo and see where their relationship goes.

I was pleasantly surprised just how great this book was. With magic, Exhilarating adventure, wonderful characters, funny Romance, danger and twist and turns you can’t flip through this book fast enough. And Hey just because you have Villain blood doesn’t mean you’re gonna be a Villain , or well at least Maddys hopes that’s the case lol. I loved Maddy and Leo’s friendship, and I really enjoyed her crazy adventure to help him. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I hope she writes more from this world 🥰🥰🥰

This is an entertaining story about a girl and the Beauty and the Beast story. I started off loving this. The flow and the characters were perfect. Maybe about half way through it seemed to slow way down. There was too much explanation and not enough movement. Then the story picked back up then slowed down again. So besides all that the story is cute. I really liked Leo and Maddy. They both do a good job and make the best of a bad situation. Secondary characters are plentiful. I really enjoyed Leo’s family and thought something might happen with all those kids and Itialian-isms.

Overall this book is creative. It has great moments that kept me turning pages.

I have read just about all of MK’s books most I have absolutely loved others I have liked but felt they needed more.
Ashes is the first book in this Modern-Day Fairy tale series & this book Red is the second. So be sure to start at the first book as they share characters. With old & new characters Red continues on from it.
There is a lot going on in this short story which is a tale of loss, love, drama, angst & magical creatures as well as magic.
Want to know what the classic Little Red Riding Hood looks like with a modern-day twist well look no further here it is because I am not giving away anything.

I enjoyed reading this fantasy fairytale romance story. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy this author’s writing style and her ability to make her characters come to life on every page. This book is no different. It is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous book as well. This is a well written story that is full of romance, fairies, angels and mortals. This is a story that has a lot going on but the author did a great job of keeping you engaged throughout. I enjoyed how the characters pulled you into their world with ease and kept you there with them to the end. They are connectable and truly add so much to the story. They have great growth throughout which make the story easy and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story and one you don’t want to miss. It is a must read! What will happen when all these characters collide? I highly recommend this book and this author.

One Quarter Villain is a wonderfully written YA Fantasy that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till I finished. I absolutely love the cover I can’t stop staring at it. This is a fun fast paced YA Fantasy about Maddy. She’s always following the rules and making the right decisions. That is until her seventeenth birthday. Her grandmother gave her a DNA test . Oh things she discovered from that one test will amaze you. Maddy now has to decide what is the right choice now? I don’t want to give anything away so I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. This may be aimed for kids ages 10-18 but others will enjoy reading it just the same. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

The big bad wolf is the least of her worries…
Breaking free from her homeschooled cocoon, Lily is ecstatic to head off to college. She’s waving goodbye to her mom’s doom-and-gloom speeches about the big, scary world, ready to embrace freedom without a care.
George is every girl’s dream—funny, smart, and handsome. But he’s still wrecked by the mysterious disappearance of his high school sweetheart. He yearns for closure but wallows in self-pity, pining for his lost love.
Sparks fly when Lily and George meet, and their mutual attraction is instantaneous. But George resists their electric connection and retreats. Frustrated by his repeated rejections, Lily is ready to walk away for good.’
Behind the scenes, an inexperienced fairy godmother teams up with an annoyingly handsome and arrogant guardian angel to stop Lily from ditching her true soulmate, George—a potentially catastrophic decision. While they debate their strategy, an enemy from George’s past devises a greedy and revengeful plot that could destroy everything. Can George save Lily, or will he suffer a lonely future—this time, forever?
When fairies, guardian angels, and mortals collide, anything can happen.
While this novel is a complete tale in itself, delving into the first book, Ashes, will enrich your understanding of the characters and their journey.

One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper – Review by Karrie Sears
At first I didn’t think I was going to get into this book. After about 3 chapters it was growing on me, then when the fairy tale twists started coming into the book, I was hooked. It was a whimsical play on all the fairy tales I grew up reading. By the time it realized I was at the end of the book, I wanted more. I cannot wait to see what Cori Cooper does with Maddy and Leo in the future. The surprised realization by Leo at the end had me giggling when he figured it out.
Definitely a wholesome easy read for YA fans.

Maddy- She is a goody little two-shoes who everyone trusts to always do the right thing. She NEVER likes breaking any rule, no matter how insignificant it may be.

Leo- Football jock who does everything he can to protect Maddy. They have been friends since they were kids. He is the goofy one in the friendship, never taking anything seriously (the complete opposite of Maddy).

Oh my goodness! I am not normally into YA books but to say I enjoyed this book is an understatement! This has a good mix of fairytale and modern-day aspects to it. There were some parts in the beginning of the book that made it a bit hard for me to get through, but I am so happy I kept reading through it. The growth of the MFC, the story, the twists, all perfection. The ending had me cracking up! I can’t wait until the next book! I am so excited to see how Leo and Maddy’s story progresses and grows.

I was absolutely charmed by this hilariously sweet fairy tale spin off story about the good girl who finds out she is one quarter villain and what that could mean for her future. I loved all of the characters interactions with each other, even characters we only saw briefly, the author did a great job of making them well rounded and realistic characters. I absolutely loved the relationship between Maddy and Leo, her best friend since kindergarten and even though they have vastly different personalities, they make their friendship work. I loved seeing Maddy discovers more about her heritage and learning about the magical realms that exist and how they are used to keep people safe. The character arcs for Maddy were surprising and delightful. Just when I thought I had the story figured out, the author threw out another curveball twisting things into a new direction. If you love fairy tales, happily ever after’s, and characters that will make you laugh and root for them, this is a fantastic story! I can’t wait to see what the author comes out with next.

While I have read several books by this author, this one definitely has the cutest cover! It grabbed my attention and made me pick it up right away. Don’t let the cuteness fool you though as it contains plenty of paranormal action and romance within the pages. C.A. King is one of my favorite authors because the way they craft a story is captivating. From the plot to the characters and world-building, everything is accounted for and marvelously woven together. Shifter stories are one of my favorites within the paranormal genre, so this was right up my alley. I read the entire thing in one day because I was unable to put it down! If you enjoy the YA Paranormal genre, this will be the perfect book for you to pick up. I can’t wait to see what is next in the series!

Just Ducky is the first book in the Weird Shifters series. After reading this book, I look forward to more in this series. The borders of the paranormals and humans are at risk of colliding and going to war, and the paranormals are out in force since the return of Lord Kobreon. In all of this, we meet Ducky. She is a duck shifter who is teased and mistreated. What happens when Lord Kobreon runs into this cute, fluffy ducky?
I enjoyed the world-building and characters of this story. The book is the perfect length, allowing the story and characters to develop. I was intrigued by Ducky and how she doesn’t fit the normal shifter story. I enjoyed her tenacity despite her circumstances while still being vulnerable to her character. Also, Lord Kobreon was interesting, and I enjoyed that he was a contrast to Ducky.
I always enjoy books by this author, and this was no exception. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and to reading more from this author.
