This was a LOT of fun! It is set in our modern pandemic time here, but has an alternate fairy-tale world story going on as well.
And then worlds collide!
[image] No singing in a pandemic, but still. Same vibe.
So first we get fairy-tale land guy coming to our world, then we get real-world guy going to fairy tale land. I love how many fairy-tales were referenced, usually with funny little twists on the stories.
[image] Okay, maybe not this dark. Fun, though!
And, I loved even more when real-world guy used modern solutions to fairy tale problems. Like marketing. It's all about marketing...
Why did I read this again? Oh yeah, someone recommended it as a funny and snarky read and I'm a sucker for that.

This is a Beauty and the Beast retelling, although it's very loosely adapted. The 'beauty' is named David, although it should be Gary Stu, who is a human that is unaware of the paranormal world. The 'beast' is a fae warrior who was cursed and exiled from Fairie, and he's a bit grumpy about the whole thing. Gary, I mean David, gets a job working for him and then just starts Stu-ing it up all over the place!!
[image] Get it, boy!
So Gar..vid spreads his magical sunshine all over the damn place. Everyone loves him. Everyone wants him. Everyone needs him in their life! He will turn your frown upside down!
[image] Ack! Some taxidermist needs to be fired. Or jailed really.
It's probably unnecessary to say that I didn't find the snarky humor - more like mild dad jokes humor. When dad is trying to cheer you up after you got picked last for the dodgeball team again. Garvid is just too good. It becomes cloying after a while. The only thing he isn't good at is dancing, which is a running 'joke' in the book. But, then he really is the best dancer too because everyone is so charmed by his terrible dancing that they love it, and him, even more.
This is a HR retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Yes, there was a library. Bitches love libraries.
I liked it overall, but there were two problems. FirsThis is a HR retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Yes, there was a library. Bitches love libraries.
I liked it overall, but there were two problems. First is that they got together waaaayyyy too quickly. It didn't simmer at all. One day, he is angry and ranting about her and her kids showing up and she is freaked out by his horrific scarred face, the next day he is wearing a "World's Greatest Dad" shirt and they are all over each other. I just didn't feel it so soon.
[image] See? This bear gets it. Just slow it down, man. It's not a race.
The second problem is kinda funny. But, I have to put the quotes in a spoiler tag because they are all about the wording used for sexy times. You all know what I mean.... when the wording makes you laugh and absolutely kills any heat that might have otherwise been going on...
Don't read if you're under 18. Or do. I don't care. I'm not your mother.
(view spoiler)[Hehe... check out these beautiful, sexy quotes from the book:

Before reading it, I looked over a few reviews and was prepared to be outraged because everyone talked about how there is a poor mentally challenged boy who is treated badly and made fun of. But, actually, even though the heroine makes fun of him to her sister, in private, because she isn't thrilled to be marrying a young boy, from there on - she defends him and is sweet and loyal to him. So, I don't know. It wasn't as offensive as everyone is making it out to be. Only a little offensive. The author really stepped in it with that mistake. She should have just made the fiance an ass, or even just plain old stupid and vain. But no, she gives a medical reason why Rupert isn't like the other boys and lets loose a fire-storm. Whatevs. I'm just glad it isn't me receiving all of the hate for once. Lord knows that I get my share of critics. And, hey, hello? Do I seem like the kind of person who gives a fuck if you don't like my review?
[image] Actually, I don't even care enough to put my hands all the way up in the air. That sounds like a lot of work.
So, that's kind of weird. But, the real weird thing about this book is that there is a ye' old Justin Bieber in it. It's totally bizarre. He's 16, and his name is Lord Justin Fiebvre. He's a singer and writer of poems. He is requested to sing by all of the young girls at a house party and they are crowding around him. Seriously. Here's a quote from the book so you know I'm not lying or seeing things that aren't there:
"They all turned, to find Lord Justin Fiebvre making his characteristic flamboyant entry. He paused for a moment in the doorway, threw back the lock of hair that constantly - and, one had to believe, deliberately - obscured his eyes....
[image]
REALLY, book? REALLY?
I'm perplexed. Why in the hell would a grown-ass woman write a Justin Bieber character in a book to be read by other grown-ass women? Why?
[image] See? Embarrassment should have stopped this from happening.
Okay, so then the next weird thing was that the first time they have sex, it's in a tree. But, I approve of that. Completely. We have a lot of squirrels in our neighborhood, but when it's go-time, I make them get the hell out of the way so the hubs and I can climb up and have a nooner. Hey, if you ever tried to have sex again after having children, you'd understand. Those little buggers are determined cock-blockers. They could keep rabbits from mating just by refusing to sleep in their own bed. "Bun Bun, can I sleep with you tonight? My tummy hurts. I heard a noise. There's a monster. I'm lonely. I'm thirsty. I can't sleep. My toe hurts. My room is too hot, too cold, too blue."
[image]
Wait, so where was I? Oh yeah. Weird. Then, after everything seemingly works out, there is another whole little story about them doing some daring rescue mission in France for a soldier. I couldn't help but think there were more qualified people to take on this mission - you know more than a 30-something year old duke who'd never worked a day in his life and a 24 yr old girl who's never worked a day in her life. (What's with these lazy-ass people?) So, that was out there. And, totally unnecessary.(view spoiler)[ But, the reason seemed to be that the author just couldn't let Olivia simply break her engagement.(view spoiler)[ She wasn't happy until Rupert was dead. (hide spoiler)](hide spoiler)]
Here's this book in picture form. It sums it up completely.
Beauty and the Beast if the Beast was House M.D., and Beauty was hilariously snarky. I totally loved this!
[image] Even better than this retelling. It wBeauty and the Beast if the Beast was House M.D., and Beauty was hilariously snarky. I totally loved this!
[image] Even better than this retelling. It was a close race.
"Beauty" is Linnet. She gets ruined by a prince because she wears an unfortunate dress that makes her look preggers. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, according to the ton, she is done. Her only choice is to marry a Duke, who is a brilliant doctor, and is nicknamed the Beast. He is supposedly impotent, so her fake little princely bun in the oven is her ticket to a nice sham of a marriage. It's perfect!
[image] It sure helps.
"Beast" is Piers. He's hilariously grouchy and brilliant and an asshole. His caustic, condescending manner makes people cower before him.
[image]
But, he meets his match with Linnet. She can dish it out just as well as him, and she's not scared in the least bit.
Sébastien brought Linnet over. “I thought perhaps you didn’t notice that your fiancée had entered the room.”
“Good evening, fiancée.”
“Beelzebub,” she said, inclining her head.
Linnet feels completely comfortable with Piers because she knows that he is impotent, so she doesn't have to worry about him trying any funny business. She goes swimming with him, and it's just a good thing that this girl is as innocent and clueless as she is because, if not, the jig would be up. ahem.
“You know?" She glanced at him, and a little flare of color rose in her cheeks. "What?" He said, rearranging himself discreetly and then rewrapping the towel more tightly. "You're going to laugh, being a doctor and all, but my mother said something once..." "What?" "She told me once that men hung." "Hung?" he repeated. "Hung," she said giggling again. "In front. You don't hang, do you" She waved a hand in the general vicinity of his waist. "You don't mind me saying, that, do you? I formed this disgusting vision of--of a hanging thing and--well, you don't hang at all. You stand straight up." He burst out laughing. "I know," she said laughing too. "I'm a fool."
[image]
Well. okay then. anyway. Piers has no intention of marrying Linnet, even though they are perfect for each other. That seems to be a theme in this series so far, so it looks like our HEA may not happen. But, hey, it IS a fairy tale.
"If I were to marry anyone, Linnet, it would be you."
"I always knew these breasts would come in handy," she said with satisfaction. (It's not like they are comfortable to own or house. They gotta give us something back for our troubles, right girls?)
The humor in this book is awesome! I LOVED this couple because they were perfect for each other. Beast is the best beast in any retelling ever. He was hilarious. The banter between them was great. And, again, the side characters were so good that I'm going to look for the half-book novellas that have their stories. All in all - totally fun....more
A Cinderella re-telling in Historical Romance? Count me in!
Except, well, Cinderella was always too much of a victim for me. So, when I met the heroineA Cinderella re-telling in Historical Romance? Count me in!
Except, well, Cinderella was always too much of a victim for me. So, when I met the heroine of this book, Kate, color me surprised. She fought with the evil stepmother constantly, and the only reason she would give in to the stepmother's demands was to protect the servants and tenant farmers. So, I liked her. Not doormatty at all. Plus, she was snarky.
[image]
In this story, she has to go to a ball disguised as her step-sister with her sister's fiance to get his uncle, the prince's, approval for the marriage. The prince lives in a castle and has a bunch of crazy relatives he is trying to support. Castle-living be expensive, yo. So, he is also supposed to get married to a Russian princess because she's bringing a big ol' dowry to the table. Hey, a prince gotta eat, right?
[image] Don't answer that, Rob!
Along with meeting the prince, Kate also meets Henry, who is a woman. Her godmother. And, she is awesome! She's giving Kate a lot of good advice on men.
"Never marry anyone with fewer brains than yourself, darling. It always ends badly."
"I'm very fond of unquestioning adoration... One can't have too much of it, from dogs or men."
"Typical of a man. They always die inconveniently."
[image] I was impressed.
There are several things that would usually trigger me in this book. Starting with the fact that Kate and the Prince fall too fast and are cheating on his fiance, but since this was a "fairy tale" I am willing to give a lot more leeway. Also, though, I would give a LOT of leeway for a book that is this well-written and witty. The banter in this book is amazing! So funny and smart! Even the side characters are so well-developed that I want their stories.
Have you ever read a book and everything is so familiar that you think you must have read this before? That kept happening to me in this one. Finally Have you ever read a book and everything is so familiar that you think you must have read this before? That kept happening to me in this one. Finally I realized that I hadn't read it before, it was just so filled with the expected tropes that there wasn't an original thought or idea in the entire book.
[image] Same old idea, different time.
The hero is scarred, so therefore a "beast". He saves the heroine from the clutches of her evil stepfather who is selling her to a whorehouse and then marries her to "help". But, of course, she is not allowed to see his disfigured face. There is plenty of sex in the dark, so the smut is there, but she is determined to see his face and inner beauty.... blah blah blah... everything you expect...
[image]
The good news - the book is free on Amazon right now. I have a weakness for free books. Well, free anything really. And, weakness in general. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm a hot mess.

Yep, the last book and, instead of ending on a high note, it acted like that person on your group project that acts like they are totally doing their part and then shows up on presentation day with a wrinkled cocktail napkin and a pencil drawing of a flux capacitor. You know - That Guy.
[image] One guy doesn't show up that day, one forgot all about it, one "ran out of printer ink", and then there's napkin guy. *sigh*
So, this book is where we finally get the vampire war we've been waiting for, and yes, there is a satisfying amount of bloodshed. But, it didn't make up for the fact that our heroine of this book, and the biggest hero of the day, is a girl I hated with the burning rage of a thousand suns.
Mina is like vampire Sleeping Beauty and has been in a blood-coma for months now. She was actually in the very first book as the hero's original betrothed and was as boring as hell in that one. Now, she's awoken by a guard from the last book, Mikhail. He's in some elite vampire squad that vows not to get involved with the chicks. He's a bro.
[image]
But, Mina decides that she is all warm for his form, and continually throws herself at him, even though he continually says that he doesn't want to get involved. It was so bad how she acted that I got that secondhand embarrassment for her. You know that feeling when a movie character is acting so stupid that you are literally uncomfortable? I was like this with this chick.
[image] Yes, it was this bad.
She is constantly begging him to kiss her, touch her, etc.. I wanted to slap her and tell her to get some fucking self-respect!
You are thinking that this guy, Mihail, must be a total charmer: handsome, funny, intelligent, lovable - so special that you might be willing to be a little bit of a dork for him, right? Wrong. He's described as not-quite handsome, he's never said a funny or amusing thing in any of the books he's appeared in, his intelligence is questionable since he continually misses signs that something is amiss, and he's gruff and assholish when he's being "sexy". She's a virgin, but he does all of this idiotic 50 Shades shit during sexy-times. I must have rolled my eyes and said "Oh brother!" 50 times while reading it.
[image] Mina was a pro at acting like a pathetic loser.
To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I was actively rooting for the evil guy by the end of the book. But, damn, in fairy tales there is always a "happy" ending.
You have to read this series in order. It has a very big storyline going in all of the books, even though each one focuses on a different couple and hYou have to read this series in order. It has a very big storyline going in all of the books, even though each one focuses on a different couple and has a bit of a fairytale retelling thing going.
So, this one is the Snow White, vampire style.
[image]
I gotta be honest with you. If you are googling around for dark Disney stuff, you will find some weird shit. It just proves to me how many men are twisted, sex-starved, little bastards when they come up with porny crap starring cartoon characters. Like, really? You had to turn our innocent childhood friends into lusty sex-kittens?
[image]
Why?
But, hey, that's the internet for you. And, maybe I shouldn't google things I really don't want to find.
So, Snow White is an innocent, beautiful school teacher who has adopted seven orphan children. She is also part of the resistance against the evil vampire monarchy and is spying on our hero, the Duke. But, he's a good guy. A fuck-boy, but a good guy.
[image]
Once a week, all of the village hoes meet in his rose garden, hoping to be chosen as his bleeder/sex-buddy for the night. He picks one from the window and gets his assistant to invite his chosen one to Netflix and Chill with him. Unfortunately, for Snow White, she happens into that garden on mistake. Right on that day, during that time!! I know, right? What are the odds???
[image] Right place. Right time. Magic....
He obviously picks her. I mean, come on, she's Snow White. "Skin as white as snow. Hair as black as night. Lips as red as blood." It's like she's vampire crack or something.
[image] Wow, those are some ugly little vampires! Maybe they just need the obligatory leather pants to look hot.
In reality, he knows who she is and that she was spying. He totally set her up on purpose to find out what side of the upcoming war she will be on. When he realizes they are on the same side? It's on!
[image]
I liked this book because I like the whole world, the build-up towards this war thing, and really liked both characters in this story. The men in these books are alpha-guys, but the author does them right, so I'm happy with them. If you like PNR with a re-telling twist, you would probably enjoy the series. Next up is Rapunzel...
Also, here is a much better review than mine, by Sh3lly. Click here. She actually includes things like quotes and even tells us the actual names of the characters.
A fun retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with vampires. How can that be bad?

Red Riding Hood isA fun retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with vampires. How can that be bad?
[image] This story is as classic as racist grandparents.
Red Riding Hood is named Sienna. She lives in the woods and was introduced in the last book. In other words, you need to read the first one to get this one. But, it is actually even better, so...worth it.
Everyone considers her a witch.
[image]
She met Nicholai in the last book and has been having naughty dreams of him ever since. Nicholai is a vampire, and yes, of course he is sexy. Aren't all vampires? He's also got a taste for some witchy action in the woods.
Their mission is to journey around to nearby towns and recruit an army to defeat the evil queen. Of course, they have an enemy relentlessly pursuing them, and his name means "wolf". He is planning on killing Sienna by drinking all of her blood, but he also might torture and rape her first. You know, for shits and giggles.
The story had a lot of romance and action, but there was a point when Sienna is in the "Wolf's" hands where things get pretty hairy - in a bad way. So, it wasn't too fluffy and sweet. It got dark. We are also introduced to two potential new couples being Snow White and Rapunzel - or possibly Sleeping Beauty. Question for those who have read this: (view spoiler)[Which do you consider Mena? She is locked in a tower, but she is also in the blood-sleep thingy. I think Riker will be her guy and he lost an eye, so maybe he loses his eyesight, which points to Rapunzel. (hide spoiler)]
Overall, this was a fun book and continuation of the series. I am looking forward to the next one. I'm positive that the duke is Prince Charming.

There is a definite mixture of light and dark in this book because it has the fairy tale feel, but with plenty of blood and sex throughout. So, sometimes you are reading along and thinking it's hokey and total insta-lovey, but then you realize it is in a fairy-tale way. Then you turn the page and there are erections and murder.

The story starts at the ball, with our heroine attending the ball in hopes of killing the vampire prince because all vampires are evil, and of course(!) one killed her mother. Luckily for her, the prince falls in love with her immediately upon seeing her face. And, he wants to nail her in a side room during the dance because that's what classy guys do when they totally love and respect you. But, good news! She nails him instead! With a knife in the heart, baby!
[image] Uh, it was kinda cool. To me.
Turns out that she stabbed him..... well, almost in the heart. She kinda missed. Now, he's searching the kingdom for her and wants to meet every girl in every household to sniff her. Yup, it's not the shoe, it's the scent. Frankly, it was a little pervy/creepy, IMO... but, hey, whatevs.. vamps gotta do what he gotta do. It is even perveeepier (that's pervy and creepy combined, plus the er, making sure to substitute the ending "y" with "i" before adding the suffix) when the prince finds her and watches her like a perveeper while she bathes. Naked! She bathes naked, folks! Oh the hijinx!!

There are a lot of differing viewpoints on this book and I can acknowledge a few of the negative comments such as the dumbassery of the main character and a definite slow-point in the middle of the book. But, I thought it was all worth it when we got to the last portion of the book. Once we are under the mountain, things get pretty good. And, let's just say that Rhys can body-paint me any day!

As a matter of fact, I would choose Beast's best-bro, Lucien, before choosing Beast himself. I found Tamlin to be a pretty boring dude. Plus, those claws? All of our furniture would be scratched up and I would never trust him to hold the baby. Thanks-but-no-thanks. But, as every reviewer has mentioned: Beauty ain't winning any prizes on her intellect in this book, so the less complicated Beast seems to be a good match.

First off, it was slow...really slow paced. I felt all 250 years of her life.
Secondly, it was predictable and repetitive. I figured out Henry's deal the second it happened. And, since the story is a familiar fairy tale, there was way too much repeating of the same events. For instance, she tells us her story and then writes letters that are retelling the same story. I didn't need to read it twice. Not to mention the amount of times she replays what happened of the original curse. The book could have been a short story if it were written out just once.
Finally, my main complaint, is that Rapunzel never gets smarter or more saavy in her 250 years of life. That is a long time to live as a naive damsel in distress. She could have been taking some Krav Maga lessons and been learning all about how to counter the witch's magic online, but she didn't do crap but feel sorry for herself. The old witch was actually more hip than Rapunzel and got her a laptop. Why the hell would she have gotten her a laptop? Because she knew Rapunzel was too wussy and stupid to use it as a tool to fight against her. Oh brother! Lame Rapunzel!...more

ADon't pay money for this book if you want to read it. Just look at the reviews to find out why. I guess the publishing guy is a scumbag or something.
Another reason you shouldn't pay money is that the book isn't very good. It is actually pretty stupid and doesn't deliver on the whole creepy Oz thing. Dorothy is supposed to be a deranged, evil killer, and yet is introduced by having her ask the main character what she thinks about her hair. I know it's supposed to come off as outrageous/crazy, but it was just lame in my opinion. Throughout the book, Amy is wishing she would just be given some sort of answers as to what is going on, and maybe a game plan as to how she is supposed to help to kill Dorothy, but nobody tells her anything. I think this may be because the author is making it up as she goes. And, apparently, the book got away from her because she forgot that she had one job when it came to writing it - killing Dorothy, and she failed. She should have delivered on that promise because there ain't no way I'm reading three more books as Amy kills off one bad guy per book, ending with Dorothy.
I really liked Splintered, by A.G. Howard Splintered for a re-imagining of a fantasyland - Wonderland - in a creepy, dark way. She did a much better job creating a scary, but beautiful dark world. Read that book instead of this!...more

She had a huge support system of people who had power and the ability to help her, and yet she continually lashed out at them and wouldn't accept the help they offered. I get that battered women lie for their partners, but this is a teenage girl who had only recently started being abused by a step-parent. I can't see a teen covering for a step-parent like that.
