Book Review // The Hare & the Hatter by Kyle Robert Shultz

Read more about the article Book Review // The Hare & the Hatter by Kyle Robert Shultz

The newest installment of the Aftermythos books is HERE, and my excitement knows no bounds! It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Kyle Robert Shultz's Beaumont and Beasley series (and all the interconnecting books)—stories taking place in a 1920s-esque setting where fairy tales are the world's history and magic abounds. They are full of humor, timey-wimey plots, delightful characters, and clever twists on fairy tales. Basically...everything I love! So you can imagine my excitement when book #6 was announced! And it DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT. Though this may be a very short review because, well—SO MANY SPOILERS.…

I come to you all with yet another book review today, and I make no apologies. There are just so many great reads being put out into the world right now. I must share them! Plus this particular one is quite unique. Recently I've been dabbling in the world of anime (and loving it!). I've been charmed by the way these stories romanticize the little things of everyday life and tell such unique stories. So when I heard an anthology of short stories inspired by anime was coming out into the world, I was ecstatic! And even more so because…

I come to you today to share all about one of THE most delightful stories I've ever had the pleasure to consume. I have been a raving fan of Allison Tebo and her works for years, particularly her Tales of Ambia series, which are absolutely hilarious fairy tale romps of magic and mayhem and the most lovable characters. So when she announced she was publishing a brand new fairy tale, you better believe I was squealing to no end. This novella is part of a collection of twelve stand-alone stories by twelve different authors, each story taking on the villains…

The third and final book of M.L. Little’s Seventh Realm trilogy is HERE and goodness gracious me, WHAT a finale. I may never recover. Some of you may remember my reviews for the first two books, The Book of Secrets and The Warden of the West March. Both of which I LOVED. I’ve been anxiously awaiting this finale and it. did. not. DISAPPOINT. In fact, it quickly swept in and became my top favorite of the three. Though I have utterly fallen in love with all these books about the Draven siblings in their modernized fantasy world of wonder and…

This is a Snow White and Rose Red retelling which just— *FLAILS* We need more retellings of this woefully obscure fairy tale. NEED. When Kirsten said the next book in this series was a SW&RR retelling I may have nearly broke my face from too much grinning.
