The Storyteller by Antonia Michaelis

I love the recommended books section on Goodreads. Along with the wall that posts what all of my connections are currently reading or want to read, it assists in my search for new books.

This book came up in my recommended page because I read the book The Fault in Our Stars. So that caught my attention because I adored that book. This one has captured my attention because of the story line. I like it when someone sees something extraordinary in someone who is typically viewed as the exact opposite. Maybe that is because I always try to see the good in people no matter what the circumstance. 

Here is the synopsis, take a look then tell me what you think!

"Anna and Abel couldn't be more different. They are both seventeen and in their last year of school, but while Anna lives in a nice old town house and comes from a well-to-do family, Abel, the school drug dealer, lives in a big, prison-like tower block at the edge of town. Anna is afraid of him until she realizes that he is caring for his six-year-old sister on his own. Fascinated, Anna follows the two and listens as Abel tells little Micha the story of a tiny queen assailed by dark forces. It’s a beautiful fairy tale that Anna comes to see has a basis in reality. Abel is in real danger of losing Micha to their abusive father and to his own inability to make ends meet. Anna gradually falls in love with Abel, but when his “enemies” begin to turn up dead, she fears she has fallen for a murderer. Has she?" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11284898-the-storyteller
