What if all the fairy tales with happily ever afters where wrong? What is the good guys were really evil and the bad guys really the ones trying to save the world?What if everything you ever learned and knew about fairy tales was wrong? What if, after reading this, nothing was ever how you perceived it again when it comes to the tales of the Brothers Grimm?Oh I had fun with this one! I know what you are thinking, why in the world am I reading dark fairy tales so close to the holidays? The reason? The real reason? I needed something to cleanse my palate. Something believe it or not, that wasn't full of sappy love stories and happily ever afters. I needed something dark and sinister. Something to keep me awake at night pondering all the monsters in the world that are disguised as beautiful maiden and handsome princes.I needed something I could read in one sitting that would read like a full length novel, in short, I needed this story.It was such a teaser, begging for the reader to continue on with the prequels, to learn more of the story, to learn who the real monsters are, beautiful or not.This was so well done, such an easy fast read that had the right amount of mystery, intrigue, darkness and the paranormal.
