Latest Book Reviews and Comments

I really enjoyed this story and how it combined elements of Snow White & Rose Red with the story of Puss in Boots. This book had several great characters and I loved getting to know Rowan & her sister Eirwen as well as Prince Alexander / James / Puss. It was fun seeing how Eirwen and him interacted throughout the story as they grew closer. This book is a standalone but I liked how it was vaguely mentioned in passing as town gossip in Amphibians and Admiration: A Frog Prince Retelling tying the two stories together as part of the same world. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.

This was a really fun Retelling Of The Princess And The Pea and I loved getting to read Cordelia & Efron's story. It was fun to have Efron come to Grimm Academy and paired with Cordelia after having briefly met him in the previous book Princess of Feathers and him and Cordelia made a really good couple. I enjoyed the conclusion of the Bellpoint Castle competition and the introduction of Audrey for the next story. I look forward to reading more books from this fun and lighthearted fairy tale series.

This was my first book by Amanda Thompson and I thought it was a very enjoyable Retelling of The Frog Prince. This story took a slightly different twist than some of the other variations I have read and I thought it was very well written with wonderful characters and good world building. I look forward to reading more of this authors fairy tale retellings in the future.

This was a good Retelling of the Wild Swans and I enjoyed getting to know both Elisa & Alaric in this story and thought they made a nice couple. While I did really enjoy the story overall I had just finished reading the previous story and the two happened at the same time so some of the story did repeat a bit since the characters were friends and together and this is meant to be able to be read as a standalone as well as part of a series of interconnected stories. I am looking forward to continuing this series and seeing what happens with the other characters in this fun and lighthearted fairy tale series.

I really enjoyed this Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and thought it was an interesting twist on the story. Both Astrid and Conan were fun characters to get to know and I also enjoyed the friendship between Astrid, Elisa, & Cordelia. I look forward to reading more books in this fun and lighthearted series of fairy tale retellings.

This was another fun addition to the Grimm Academy series and I thought it was a good Retelling Of The Little Mermaid. I enjoyed getting to know both Matilda & Lewis in this story as well as briefly getting to know Matilda's sister Cordelia. I look forward to reading more books in this series of sweet and lighthearted fairy tale retellings.

This was a really enjoyable Retelling of Cinderella with great world building and some interesting twists. It is a short story so was a fairly quick read and I really enjoyed it. This is also the prequel for A Charming Hope were Prince Devon gets his story told. 

I received a free copy of this book via the authors newsletter and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was another really fun addition to the Fablewood Monster Mates Series and I loved getting to know Mia & Koda in this story as well as Koda's son and all the other younglings in this story. This story had a lot of fun moments as well as a few hiccups as Mia & Koda got to know one another but I was happy with how everything worked out for them. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This is the first real Retelling of Red Shoes that I have read and I thought it was a very enjoyable story. I loved the character Jarl and enjoyed seeing him and Nora together. This story takes place during the same timeframe as The Swan Bride: A Swan Lake Retelling and is more enjoyable when they are read together however they can each be read as standalone stories since they focus on different characters. I look forward to reading more of this series and other Fairy Tale Retellings by this author in the future.

This was a really fun Retelling of A Swan Lake and did a great job of tying it in with the authors other Fairy tale retellings while still working as a standalone story. It was fun getting peaks of The Shoeless Prince: A Puss in Boots Retelling as well as the upcoming book The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling. I loved getting to know both Leda and Freddie in this story as well as Freddie's brother Theo and friend Prince Briar who I hope to read more about in future stories. I am also looking forward to reading more about Nora from the Selection Ball in her story The Storybook Bride: A Red Shoes Retelling.

This was another really fun book in the Fairhaven Falls series of connected standalone romances set in the small town of Fairhaven Falls. I enjoyed getting to know both Eric and Robin in this story and seeing how everything came together for the two of them. Flora was also as fun as always and I look forward to reading the next book Bidding on the Orc Outcast about Posy and Varek.

This was another nice addition to this series of Spicy Romantasy Fairy Tales and I thought it was an enjoyable Retelling of Peter Pan. I haven't read many Peter Pan Retellings but this was the first I have read with Peter Pan cast as the hero of the story and I thought it was well done. The epilogue at the end also did a nice job of wrapping up Evie and Pan's story.

This was a quick and sweet Retelling of Snow White and Rose Red and another fun addition to the Grimm Academy series. I enjoyed getting to know Rose and Gavrel in this story as well as Rose's twin sister Blanche. I haven't read all the books in this series from before this one yet and look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This was my first book by Celeste Baxendell and I really enjoyed this Retelling of Robin Hood. The characters were all so well written and had layers to their personalities that made them seem real and I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Robin and Prince John evolved as they both got to know each other as well as how they developed as individual characters as the story progressed. The epilogue at the end was also really fun and I plan to look into reading more by this author in the future.

This was my first book by Jacque Stevens and I thought it was a very enjoyable Retelling of Puss in Boots with several interesting characters and excellent world building to draw the reader into the story. I loved getting to know Archie and Ainsley. I also really liked Leo and Tabitha and am looking forward to reading more about their story in The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling.

I really enjoyed this story and getting to know Finnar better after his brief introduction in Tomlin although it isn't necessary to read that book first and this story is a standalone in a whole new series. This book was so much fun and I loved the way it blended a Fairy Tale Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with an alien shifter romance so well. Scarlett and Finnar made a really nice couple and I enjoyed getting to know them both. The epilogue at the end was fun and I am really looking forward to continuing this series as it blends two genres I love (Fairy Tale Retelllings and Alien Romances) together so well. The next book Alien Huntsman: An Alien Shifter Romance is supposed to be about Scarlett's friend Tessa & Korrin so I look forward to getting to know them both better and maybe even see more about how Finnar & Scarlett are doing in the future.

This is the first book in the revamped Purple Oak Oasis Series. I really enjoyed getting to know Brew (Rooibos Brewster - Tea Witch) and Katie (Katheryn Fields - Dog Ward) in this story as well as Katie's dog familiar Banjo. Their relationship was fun to see develop from being longtime friends to more. This book also had a lot of other characters that I am looking forward to getting to know better as the series continues including both Brew & Katie's siblings.

I really enjoyed this prequel to the Brides of the Lonesome Creek Orcs series and am looking forward to reading more from this series. Greel was such a sweet character and I loved seeing how his and Jessi's feelings and relationship developed throughout the story as well as getting to know them each individually with the perspective changing to show both their views. Greel's family were also fun and I hope to see more of them and Jessi's grandmother in future books.

This is the first book in the Fated Mates of the Ferlaern Warriors Series and I enjoyed the world and characters that were introduced. The story was well told and brought me into the characters world and I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This was another great addition to the Serpents of Serant series and I was so glad to get to finally get to know Reid better as well as Sazzie since both have been in previous books in this series. The two of them were really good together and I enjoyed getting to see their relationship and individual characters develop throughout the book. I hope that there will be more books in this series in the future and look forward to reading more by this author.

This was another really fun and enjoyable story by Sabrina Silvers. This story has a lot of entertaining characters in it as well as good world building to bring the reader into the story. I liked both Maeve (witch) & Saul (bear shifter) and seeing how the two of them got together. Saul's nephew Brady was also really adorable! I look forward to reading more books set in the town of Grimm Mawr and hope to hear more about Wolfe Bloodgoode who had a small epilogue chapter at the end that hints at a potential story for the future.

This was my first book by Pepper McGraw and from this series and I thought it was a really cute story with several fun characters. While I enjoyed this book as a standalone I am sure that it is even more enjoyable when you are familiar with some of the side characters who have had stories in previous books and I have added a few to my TBR list.

This was another fun addition to the Five Kingdoms series and I enjoyed getting to know Lothar better as well as getting to know Jana and see how their relationship developed during this story. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone but it was fun getting to see Wulf and Kari from the previous book briefly and I am looking forward to reading Egon's story in the next book The Orc's Bonded Bride.

This was another great addition to the Alice in the Country of Hearts series. I really enjoy getting to see different sides of the various characters. This volume focuses on the relationship between Alice and Julius as well as the friendship between both Ace & Julius as well as Ace & Alice. I look forward to reading more about these characters in the future.

This story was really interesting and provided an opportunity to get to know the Clockmaker Julius Monrey a bit better as well as provide the reader an opportunity to see more of how him and Alice interact with one another.

This volume also contains a couple of chapters about the series "Crimson Empire" at the end that were pretty interesting.
