Cameron Jace has written another wonderful addition to the Grimm Prequels with "Blood Apples." In this installment, the story is being told from Prince Charming's point of view. We finally learn how he meets Snow White, falls in love and the reasons behind their unbearable separation. I especially enjoyed this explanation for why apples are the color red. It added an extra layer of mystery that will be sure to pop up again the first book of the series.Prince Charming has been separated from his love Snow White who has been imprisoned in a coffin by her mother in an imposing tower guarded by Repunzel. It seems Repunzel has problems of her own as she awaits the return of her love. Meanwhile, Prince is bound and determined to rescue Snow White. He enlists the aid of Jack in the Beanstalk who is also a master thief. Jack is also nobody's fool and although he has agreed to assist in the rescue of Snow White, he refuses to release the beautiful monster until he is well out of harm's way. This rescue is going to be problematic and oh so delicious!I enjoyed the character of Jack as well as his sometimes lady love, Marmalade. I must admit that I would really like to know a little more about her. Hopefully, we will read more about her in future installments. Lastly, without revealing any spoilers, I was a little sad at the end. I will not say why. However, the more I read of the prequels, the more I cannot wait for the first book. Give yourself a  treat and read "Blood Apples." You will not regret it!
