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!

A gorgeous grown up fairytale.
At first, this seems to be an innocent fairytale, but it swiftly becomes more of a proper, adult fairytale. It's a warning to the Folk that they shouldn't break their promises to the Travelling Folk.
The main character is a young girl with no name: to name her is to tame her. She falls in love with the local Lord's son, and he DOES name her. She loses the ability and the freedom to travel in the bodies of wild animals (I really liked this part). He betrays her, and she decides to exact her revenge on him so that she can get her magical abilities back. It's a beautiful story with some lovely illustrations, and each new section has a quote from a Child Ballad or an old wives/ folk saying.
It's novella size, so a quick read (I could have read more!), and well worth it.

"The perfect example of an adult fairytale. Everything about this—the visual set pieces, the mournful musical theme, the mad doctor (!), and the unforgettable sight of Edith Scob in her mask, roaming the gardens and joined by her doves—is horror at its finest."
