A Personal Favorite
One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors. The story is interesting and the characters are great. It feels like a whimsical fairy tale and it's very well done. I enjoy reading it again every now and then because it is such a wonderful story.

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.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a sucker for a good fairy tale retelling and this one is top-notch!

Kat and Steffan's are great characters and the way they team up to find out what's going on is brilliant!
