I mean - for childhood nostalgia this book was alright.. seeing as I'm not a kid anymore it was not all that great lol

What more can I say about this - though it teaches a great life lesson as all the Sabrina shows did ... not much can happen in such a short amount of book ! Definitely reading it to the young one though - or letting her read it, she will love it

Sabrina got DARK
Sabrina the Teenage Witch was a favourite of mine when I was a tween. I would spend hours on the couch giggling to myself, mostly at the awful anamatronic black cat named Salem.
So when it was announced there would be a reboot my childhood self came marching back, but what I watched wasn't at all the image of the fun,light-hearted, Melissa Joan Hart series I had come to love, NO, it was much, much darker.
Based on the exact same characters but with a much darker sinister plot. However it was enjoyable, with myself being a horror fanatic I felt it was a breath of fresh air, a more older teen/adult version.
Series 1 did seem to play out and I found it difficult to get into it, but with perseverance I made it to the end.

Definately a watch for us 80's/90's babies, but beware, its not quite the walk down memory lane.
  
The third book in the Sisters Grimm series finds Sabrina and Daphne hot on the trail of their kidnapped parents and meeting an uncle everyone in town seems to have forgotten. Once again, the creativity of incorporating the fairy tale characters was wonderful. The book grabbed me from page one and didn't let me go.

Sabrina and Daphne Grimm start their new school only to have a teacher murdered their first day. Is one of the Ever Afters guilty of the crime? This combination of fantasy and mystery may be aimed at kids, but I absolutely love the world it creates. And the cliffhanger definitely left me wanting more.

I absolutely loved this. As someone who grew up watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch this was a beautifully darker twist to the story. They seemed to truly master the darker side of witchcraft and combine it with the true whimsical nature that comes with the original storyline. I couldn't look away and the season finale only left me wanting more as a anxiously wait in anticipation for the next season.

Loving the new Sabrina series. Even though the references to Satan are disturbing to me. I still find the series entertaining to watch. But be warned if you haven't watch this series yet and you are thinking it is going to be like the campy comedy series. It's not! And I'm my opinion it's not suitable for preteen ages and younger. I think it's more suited to an older teen audience and on up the age scale.

I held off on reading this for quite awhile, because I just didn't feel like I'd be into it. I watched Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, back whenever that was on TV. As silly and lighthearted as that was, I didn't think that it would work as a horror story. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a huge horror fan, but this has decent potential to work well as one. The story was written well, and I look forward to reading volume 2.

I think there are 3 more issues of Chilling Adventures, you can definitely find them digitally (my library has them on their digital catalog). If you like the horror comics, Archie Comics released Chilling Adventures in Sorcery, that collects vintage creepy/retro horror comics.

Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have just been sent to live with the grandmother they didn't know they had. The bigger surprise is that they are now responsible for keeping the fairy tale characters from causing trouble. Like the giant running around town…. Yes, this is a kid's series, but I found it charming and entertaining once it got past the slow start.

The Grimm family is on the edge of finally freeing Sabrina and Daphne's parents from the sleeping spell they are under. Meanwhile, their friend the Big Bad Wolf is being tried for his crimes. This entire series is lots of fun, and it provides some nice twists to the familiar fairy tale characters. Aimed at kids, any adult will enjoy it.

I've only watched the first three episodes and I'm already hooked wasn't sure if I would like the new version as I've been a fan of the Melissa Joan hart version but it's growing on me I'm curious to know where the show is going next. Kiernan shipka is likeable as sabrina and michelle gomez well she was excellent as missy in doctor who and she's good in this. I will stick with this to the end
