Steampunk horror fairy tale of pure wonderousness
Beautiful and frightening dark fable. If you can handle horror and subtitles (or if you understand French,) you should really watch this ASAP.

"Fairy tale meets Sci-Fi is a good way to describe the book Cinder. Cinder is based off of the character Cinderella, and the book carries bits of the fairy tale throughout it’s telling. She’s a true heroine that I’ve never seen before. She just wants to live her life. She doesn’t want to be judged or mistreated anymore. I think that’s something a lot of people can understand.

With most fairy tales, there is a prince, and as we all know Cinderella meets Prince Charming. Cinder meets her prince, Prince Kai, when he seeks her out. There are obviously some changes to the original Cinderella tale, and it is infused in an original story created by Marissa Meyer. She does a really good job combining the two stories without it becoming nonsense." Read the entire review here: https://thenerdybookwormsite.wordpress.com/2017/04/29/cinder-by-marissa-meyer/

"Bride of Frankenstein is absolutely perfect. It has the innocence and beauty of a fairy tale, but has the darkness of a gothic horror tale. So the combination is irresistible. [On hearing that Hellboy comics creator Mike Mignola also named Bride of Frankenstein among his favorite films, del Toro said with a smile, “Well, we are alike in some aspects.”]"

Mermaids, fae, wolves, and apples abound in this new take on fairy tales. What if a fairy tale was happening and only a hunter could stop it? Would you step up and be that hunter?
Lana is a surf loving human lie detector who gets roped into hunting a fae creating fairy tales. With a sword, a hot fae, and a boyfriend on the side this book is a must read. The characters are all well developed and lovable. You find yourself needing to read the next book right after finishing this one.

As far as erotica novels go, this novel is one of the worst that I have ever read. Not only was it vague in any erotic descriptions the author decided to give use, but the actually erotica content was almost absent. It was like reading a fairy tale written for adults with all the gore and vulgarity instead the sunshine and smiles, although the happy endings were present.

When I want erotica, I want <i>erotica</i>. If I wanted some fairy tales told for adults instead children, I would read the Grimm's Fairy Tales.

A modern fairy tale with a nod to some of the classics. Very fun for those who know the genre already.

A beautiful, magical fairy tale
Written as a 'grown up' fairy tale, set in Russia, this is the story of Vasilisa and her connection with the house spirits and eventually, the Frost Demon. She has magic, and this sets her apart from the others in her village, in a time where Christianity is flexing its muscles. Her stepmother is a devout Christian and won't allow her to worship the spirits. Eventually a city priest comes, unwillingly, to be their village priest, which is when things really start to go wrong for not just Vasilisa, but the whole village.
A brilliant story!
