I didn't know what I would think about this book when I picked it up. I had found out about it through people recommending it online through my tumblr when I asked for a new fairy tale book to read. I was not disappointed.
This was interesting because it was not really happy. It hearkened back to the Grimm brother's fairy tales in that respect. There were some Russian fairy tale influences I could feel throughout here when I was reading.
I loved how dark the characters were. They felt very fleshed out and very well written. Great job.
The plot was really nice and, again, well written. Not too many slow parts, though there were a few. I still enjoyed it.
I love the fact that it's a standalone so I can have it all wrapped up. I think I may look up her other books.

A decent paranoid, creepy, old school haunted house film....that then becomes an old school possession film. It starts well and is genuinely creepy and jumpy. The second half of the film changes direction somewhat and has an almost fairy tale feel to it. Not bad for a 12a rated horror film.

''O Brother, Where Art Thou?'' similarly offers a fairy-tale view of an America in which the real brutalities of poverty and racism are magically dissolved by the power of song.

Fairy Tale indeed!
I absolutely fell in love with this series! Adventure, magic, a love story featuring a beast of a man, an evil villian who you would love to see fail, and an ending that leaves you gasping and grabbing the next book! My all time favorite series and such an amazing author!

An ambitious reworking of the fairy tale "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" finds a dozen girls, whose father has hidden them from the world, sneaking out to New York's speakeasies to dance during the prohibition era.
