Tales of the Frog Princess

A book series by ED Baker that was the very, very loose inspiration for The Princess and The Frog. The books are, in order:


 * The Frog Princess
 * Dragon's Breath
 * Once Upon a Curse
 * No Place For Magic
 * The Salamander Spell
 * The Dragon Princess
 * Dragon Kiss
 * A Prince Among Frogs

The first four books in the series follow Princess Emeralda (AKA Emma), a tall, awkward, clumsy princess who constantly hides in the swamp to avoid her mother. There, she meets prince-turned-frog Eadric. During the first four books, Emma and Eadric fall in love, Emma comes into her abilities as a witch, and they end the curse that has been plaguing Emma's family. The fifth book is a prequel about Emma's aunt Grassina. The last three books are about Emma and Eadric's daughter Millie.

The series has ended, but the author has announced her intentions to make a spin-off about Millie's friends Zoe and Francis.

 * The Unfavorite: Haywood
 * Chartreuse
 * Vampires Are Sex Gods: Garrid is described as being very, very handsome.
 * What the Hell Is That Accent?: Emma mentions that Garrid's relatives in No Place For Magic have an odd accent. Judging by the audiobooks, the trope applies to Garrid himself.
 * Why Couldn't You Be Different?: Francis's parents, Haywood and Grassina, wish he would practice magic more often, but Francis just isn't interested.
 * Hinted at with Garrid and Zoe, due to Zoe not being on board with the whole "drinking blood" thing.
