Merissa (14003 KP) rated Once Upon a Forbidden Desire: Fairy Tales and Other Stories in Books
Sep 13, 2023
Anthologies can be hit-and-miss for me. Sometimes, you'll get a great collection. Other times, it will be a list of mediocre stories. ONCE UPON A FORBIDDEN DESIRE definitely belongs in the first category. If you love fairy tales, then you will adore this collection. There is a heat level here for everyone, with stories ranging from The Pied Piper of Hamelin to Hansel and Gretel, told with their own twist by each of the authors.
With an abundance of new-to-me authors, as well as old favourites, I now have a list of various stories and series that I want to read, based on their stories in this anthology. There was not a single one that let the side down.
This was a fantastic collection of fairy tale retellings, each with its own heat rating at the beginning. I loved every story and thoroughly appreciated the range of various fairy tales to enjoy. Highly recommended by me.

Off to a great start!
Stories like this, with a normal girl who just so happens to be Muslim, are important at the moment in our current political climate. Besides this, though, it's just a great story! Ill be looking up volume 2!

An interesting concept. numerous stories and time periods tell a interwoven story from the past to the distant future. Captivating in its unusualness but still mesmerizing in its narrative. Not too challenging a read as to make it anything but relaxing and enjoyable.

Adorable and sweet Christmas Story. Touches on the hard topics very nicely. I would definitely like to read the other stories in this book world and a eye to more by this author! I received an ARC from NetGalley for voluntary review.

Supernatural, love and annoying family
Excellent book with a new angle on the supernatural set. I’ve read this book and the remainder in the series many times. Under lying stories with twists and turns, all the while following Victorian morals and manners,

Feelgood Ghost Story
Dickens is often credited with creating what we now call ghost stories. While he wasn't the only one talking of ghosts and monsters he certainly perfected the way ghosts are used as a way of viewing ourselves from the outside.
