Amazing series!
I don't usually like sci-fi novels, but this was amazing! It's a fairytale retelling of cinderella with a sci-fi twist. Highly recommend!

Beautiful!
I loved the colours in this movie. So vivid and so cheerful. The Nutcracker is, and will always stay a favourite Christmas fairytale of mine, and this version did not disappoint me at all.

Tear Jerker
A story about real life and real feelings (with just a little bit of fairytale fluff), if you have a heart you will get attached and your heart with ache for Hazel and Gus.

Prue and Ophelia take on jobs as maids to the Coops, Americans who are traveling to their castle in Germany’s black forest. Almost as soon as they’ve arrived, a cottage is discovered on the property that looks like a dwarf cottage, and fairytale experts are brought in. The next day, Mr. Coop is poisoned with an apple. What have Prue and Ophelia gotten themselves into?

I love fairytales and fairytale reimaginings, so I had to give this cozy mystery series a try. It was so much fun. The story was fast paced, and the fairytale aspect provided a nice twist to the cozy formula. The characters were sharp as well, and the author made perfect use of a multiple viewpoint story. Can’t wait for the sequel.

Good Sfx and make up effects (0 more)
Enjoyable fairytale action
A pretty decent action film with a good cast and good Sfx. The witches make up are good and there is plenty of action. Kinda like a cross between Van Helsing and the expendables!
