I got no complaints on this one. From start to finish this new telling of Hansel and Gretta sucked me in and kept me page turning long after I should have set it down for the night. It's such a simple, great concept that I'm smacking my head that I didn't think to write something so awesome.Greta starts out as a fairly whiny and helpless character who grows a backbone in a very short time when she is forced to leave her home and face the ragers that threaten the world around them. When she and her brother arrive at an old candy shop in an abandoned city, the story really gets going.The writing in this was just beautiful. I think Grimm fairy tales would be very proud to see this telling of their story, it's certainly closer to the feel it was meant to have than anything Disney would put out. Crumbs captures all the beauty of the old fairy tales as well as the darkness and fear.I can't wait to read more by this author!::Reviewed by Samantha Boyette, Author of Morning Rising, Darkness of Morning, and Voodoo::
