Grimm Academy
There’s a place where fairy tale legacies weigh heavy on young shoulders—and where rewriting your story is the only way to survive.
Grimm Academy invites readers into a reimagined world where the daughters of myth and legend aren’t content to let fate dictate their futures. These aren’t the docile heroines from bedtime stories. They're students, rebels, and dreamers, each haunted by a prophecy—and determined to break it.
Grimm Academy consists of twenty-one primary books, and includes two additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Book Reviews
This was the first Retelling of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and I thought it was a really enjoyable story and another fun addition to this series. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future although sadly this is the last new book in this series.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
