A modern twist on fairy tales is nothing new, but this book is still a breath of fresh air. It's exciting, sensual, thrilling, terrifying, and full of tension. It's Hansel and Gretel, but it's so much more than that. Brothwell takes the bare bones of the story and builds her own universe, puts her own twists on it, and it comes out looking like something completely different.The writing is superb, grade A stuff. I couldn't put it down. The plot is quick and interesting, and I never got hung up on details. It's borderline erotica, which usually isn't my genre, but it supported the story instead of overtaking it. It was beautifully done, as were the characters, which all had their own demons and personality quirks.There is so much more I could say about this story, but for fear that I'll just keep rambling, I'll end the review with this: read it. You won't be sorry.
