Latest Book Reviews and Comments
This is the first book in the newest duet of this series and I thought it was a fun and interesting story. I enjoyed getting to know both John Bragg & Faith Hammond in this story and like Faith's friend Amity as well. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this duet about Amity & Marshall Clark and seeing how things go for the two of them after how rocky things between them at the end of this book.

This is the first book in the Ruby Realm series and another wonderful fairy tale retelling by Abigail Manning. I thought this was an enjoyable Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with excellent world building, fun characters, and an engaging plot with twists and adventure. I loved getting to know both Roisen & Zac seeing how their relationship developed as well as enjoying their banter with one another. There is a bit more violence in this story than in some of the other fairy tale retellings I have read by this author but not too much and it is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood so that isn't overly surprising. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.
This was a really enjoyable Retelling of The Goose Girl and I loved getting to know Princess Catalina as well as King Falco in this story. I thought this retelling was really well done with excellent world building and a few unexpected plot twists to keep the reader guessing about what would happen next. I look forward to reading more books by this author as well as from this multi author series.
This is the second book from this series of standalone but connected fairy tale retellings and I thought it was a really good gender-swapped loose Rapunzel Fairy Tale Retelling with great characters and an interesting story with unexpected plot twists. I loved getting to know both Edward & Vivienne in this story and was happy with how everything worked out for them. The epilogue at the end was really cute. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This was a really interesting and enjoyable Retelling of The Frog Prince with an Orc instead of a character turned into a frog. I thought this story did a good job of capturing this fairy tale and all the characters were well written. I enjoyed getting to know both Princess Amalia & Drogath and seeing how their relationship developed. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series.

This was a really enjoyable Retelling of Aladdin with great world building and I loved the characters. I loved the relationship between Dan (Aladdin) and his brother Jasper as well as seeing how the two of them interacted with Aida (the genie). The sultan was also a nice side character. The epilogue at the end was really cute and I am glad with how things worked out for everyone. I look forward to reading more books by Sarah Beran in the future as well as more books from this multi author series.
I didn't want this book to end knowing that it's the last book of the series. My new favourite book series!
The Joseph Bridgeman books by Nick Jones just get better and better. My favourite series!
Second book in my new favourite series. Loved it!
The start of one of my all time favourite series ever! I adore this series and this is the book that started it.
Thanks Nick
I really enjoyed this story and how it combined elements of Snow White & Rose Red with the story of Puss in Boots. This book had several great characters and I loved getting to know Rowan & her sister Eirwen as well as Prince Alexander / James / Puss. It was fun seeing how Eirwen and him interacted throughout the story as they grew closer. This book is a standalone but I liked how it was vaguely mentioned in passing as town gossip in Amphibians and Admiration: A Frog Prince Retelling tying the two stories together as part of the same world. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.
This was a really fun Retelling Of The Princess And The Pea and I loved getting to read Cordelia & Efron's story. It was fun to have Efron come to Grimm Academy and paired with Cordelia after having briefly met him in the previous book Princess of Feathers and him and Cordelia made a really good couple. I enjoyed the conclusion of the Bellpoint Castle competition and the introduction of Audrey for the next story. I look forward to reading more books from this fun and lighthearted fairy tale series.

This was a good Retelling of the Wild Swans and I enjoyed getting to know both Elisa & Alaric in this story and thought they made a nice couple. While I did really enjoy the story overall I had just finished reading the previous story and the two happened at the same time so some of the story did repeat a bit since the characters were friends and together and this is meant to be able to be read as a standalone as well as part of a series of interconnected stories. I am looking forward to continuing this series and seeing what happens with the other characters in this fun and lighthearted fairy tale series.

This was another really fun addition to the Fablewood Monster Mates Series and I loved getting to know Mia & Koda in this story as well as Koda's son and all the other younglings in this story. This story had a lot of fun moments as well as a few hiccups as Mia & Koda got to know one another but I was happy with how everything worked out for them. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This is the first real Retelling of Red Shoes that I have read and I thought it was a very enjoyable story. I loved the character Jarl and enjoyed seeing him and Nora together. This story takes place during the same timeframe as The Swan Bride: A Swan Lake Retelling and is more enjoyable when they are read together however they can each be read as standalone stories since they focus on different characters. I look forward to reading more of this series and other Fairy Tale Retellings by this author in the future.

This was a really fun Retelling of A Swan Lake and did a great job of tying it in with the authors other Fairy tale retellings while still working as a standalone story. It was fun getting peaks of The Shoeless Prince: A Puss in Boots Retelling as well as the upcoming book The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling. I loved getting to know both Leda and Freddie in this story as well as Freddie's brother Theo and friend Prince Briar who I hope to read more about in future stories. I am also looking forward to reading more about Nora from the Selection Ball in her story The Storybook Bride: A Red Shoes Retelling.

Flora was also as fun as always and I look forward to reading the next book Bidding on the Orc Outcast about Posy and Varek.

This was another nice addition to this series of Spicy Romantasy Fairy Tales and I thought it was an enjoyable Retelling of Peter Pan. I haven't read many Peter Pan Retellings but this was the first I have read with Peter Pan cast as the hero of the story and I thought it was well done. The epilogue at the end also did a nice job of wrapping up Evie and Pan's story.

This was my first book by Celeste Baxendell and I really enjoyed this Retelling of Robin Hood. The characters were all so well written and had layers to their personalities that made them seem real and I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Robin and Prince John evolved as they both got to know each other as well as how they developed as individual characters as the story progressed. The epilogue at the end was also really fun and I plan to look into reading more by this author in the future.
This was my first book by Jacque Stevens and I thought it was a very enjoyable Retelling of Puss in Boots with several interesting characters and excellent world building to draw the reader into the story. I loved getting to know Archie and Ainsley. I also really liked Leo and Tabitha and am looking forward to reading more about their story in The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling.
