This is a retelling of Hansel and Gretel. I didn't like it at all. It's very dark with pedophilia and teen sex trafficking. I was looking forward to reading this collection. I'm not sure I want to since I didn't like the first two.

Well, this was profoundly disgusting. From the writing to characterizations to the plot. And while it's technically short, it felt too long. Probably because I kept wishing for this story to not exist.

I define young adult as late teen, very young adult. It is not young adult. It is also hardly a modern day retelling of hansel and gretel. I can see the links between the two versions but this version is soooo much more dark and perverted. Two stars because she does write well and is inventive.

This retelling of Hansel and Gretel was really weird. The synopsis did not prepare me for how dark or disturbing this would be. Also, I really am not sure how I feel about the way the teens speak here. They sound more like what adults expect young people to speak than how they actually do.
