The Halfling by Melissa H. North Genre: Fantasy “There are three things I know are certain in my life. Firstly, I am a cursed halfling—part faerie, part human. Another thing I know is I hate faeries. They are deceitful, evil, and conniving. The third thing I know—and it is a certainty—nothing is guaranteed in this life, including your sanity, your family, and your world as you know it.” - Eliana Eliana finds herself propelled into a world she longs to stay away from; a world where nothing is what it seems.

These were all the things that you would expect from being famous. The bait that the producers of the industry would tempt you with to get you on their side. What they don't tell you though are all the inner tragedies that come along just as quickly.

But, Lilith Rose will. When Lilith Rose, lead singer to one of the most famous rock ba...
