Series: Once Upon A Con
An enchanting YA romance from the New York Times best-selling author of The Dead Romantics.

Cinderella goes to the con in this fandom-fueled twist on the classic fairy tale romance.

Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy talefor anyone who believes in the magic of fandom. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watchingwith her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a newStarfieldmovie, she has toenter. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball, and a meet-and-greet withthe actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. With savings from hergig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck (and her dad's old costume), Elle's determined to win...unless her stepsisters get there first.

Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons-before he was famous. Now they're nothingbut autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Carmindor is all he's ever wanted, butthe Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon drawsnear, Darien feels more and more like a fake-until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise.
