Just as messed up as Froggy Style by the same author. Very much another f'd up fairy tale. In this book we learn how RJ (Rumpelstiltskin) met his wife, how she tried to kill him numerous times, all while he was trying to solve the mystery of Cinderella's murder. Everything that can go wrong does.
J.A. Kazimer makes sure you will never look at fairy tales, or Fairy Tale Land, the same again.

I only finished this because I have a very hard time *not* finishing anything. The homophobia and misogyny is atrocious and the plot line isn’t much better.

This was a fun, silly read that I did enjoy. Yes, the author used the word "villain" in one form or another almost every sentence, but it came across as tongue-in-cheek (not cheesey). Perfect beach read.

RJ is a fairy tale villain. Except the Union has cursed him for a screw up and now everything he does is not villainous at all. Oh, no. Everything he does, no matter how villainous he tries to be, turns out to be nice. It’s enough to make a bad villain cry.
RJ has been cursed for six days and it’s driving him crazy. He wants to get back to villainy, but the Union thinks he needs a little more time, maybe even a vacation. Then he comes home to find a pretty, sexy and ravenous woman in his favorite chair. She inhales his dinner and asks him to help her solve what she believes is the murder of her stepsister, Cindy. As in Cinderella. Yep. Cindy was pushed in front of a bus and Asia wants to know who did it. Because of the curse, RJ can’t say ‘No.’ and besides he’s hoping to score with the pretty, sexy woman, so off they go to the Kingdom of Maledetto to find themselves a murderer.
Amusing and irreverent this is not a story you want to read to the kiddies. No, no, no. This is for grown ups. The fun I had reading it is probably only slight compared to the fun I imagine was had in the writing of it. Perverting fairy tales. Why didn’t I think of that?! I look forward to reading Book 2!

Take a darkly comic romp through the land of Mother Goose inside the skull of a lecherous villain who has been forced to play nice by magical restraining order. While the characters are all familiar, this is definitely not the fairy tale land you remember from preschool.
