Let me start of with saying that this was a good book. It was, really! But there were just some things that didn't connect with me and therefore I gave it no more then 3 stars.So let's start with the story. It's good, there is lots of action, mystery, crime solving and also romance that kept me really comfy throughout the book. I liked the fact that the story used all kinds of persons and things from fairy tales and made them into something new. Like for example: Snow White owning a whorehouse, that was kinda shocking but nice. It appealed to my love for the more gory and violent side of fairy tales that are so often forgotten.What I didn't like were the main characters. Oh don't get me wrong, I liked Trish just fine, I even liked Red, Nicky, Nate and Lavender, but I just could not truly connect to any of the characters or their story, this could also be a result of me not having read the first and second book, but I believe the characters just lacked something. I just can't put my fingers on what it is.That said I don't think there's much else that I can say about this book. I liked it but it wasn't great.
