*I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review*

At 900 years old, Nissa is finally ready to follow her mother's path and become the best Fairy Godmother she can. She’s not thrilled when her first assignment turns out to be a teenage human girl with self-esteem issues, but she knows she has to start somewhere. Her assignment has dealt with bullies since her freshman year and they haven’t let up. If Nissa can’t help her regain her self-confidence her future is bleak.

To complicate matters Nissa experiences all the signs that she's met the being fated for her. This impossibility distracts her from her purpose. After all, fairies and humans aren't meant for each other. How can her heart believe otherwise? Can Nissa successfully complete her first assignment as a Fairy Godmother? Will the fates allow Nissa and Levi to be together? And even if they do, will Levi believe Nissa once she reveals the truth?

Review:

"Short, sweet, and to the point."

This pretty much sums up the entire story. Nissa is only 155 pages long, so it's a very fast read. The story and the characters are all so sweet they nearly stick to your teeth. It is all pretty straight forward. No time for descriptions, there is a whole lot of dialogue and no major conflicts or high emotions.

Definitely Young Adult, because even though Nissa is 900 years old she's pretty much like every 18 year old maybe just a bit more mature. When she is send to do her first mission, helping a bullied girl, she would never have expected to meet her fated. There is only one problem, he's human and humans and fairies don't mix that well.

"You make me feel so many things, Nissa. I don't know what I'm going to do with you."

Slowly she gets to know Levi better and well the guy is amazing and just so nice, for example he's studying Environmental Studies (out to save the planet and all that). The guy couldn't be more perfect for her. But when the end of her assignment draws nearer, Nissa will have to make a choice, will she go back to the forest and her family or will she stay with Levi?

Nissa is a very fun and quick read for in between books. It's not too heavy, not a lot of drama, even got a bit of a fairytale feeling about it. There isn't even like one evil character present, everyone is just so good and nice, a bit too much for me, but I just go with the flow!
