5.0

The Dark Kingdom Anthology is a really Fantastic Anthology of 14 authors who bring us some very gripping short stories! I enjoyed each and every one of these short stories! They each kind of have this new and twisted play on fairytales. Most are Dark and have mature content that could possibly trigger people, so please be warned. I feel like each story was very special and alluring! I am so happy to have had the chance to read them and discover some new to me authors! This isn’t exactly my normal way of reviewing, I kinda just jotted down my main feelings from each of the short stories.

Alice La Roux- The council of seven (5 Stars)
Very intriguing. Enticingly erotic! Whew! It definitely got hot. Unlike any other Snow White retelling, you will ever read! It’s dark and delicious.

Anna Edwards- Osborne (5stars)
The best robin hood retelling yet! Exciting and oh so sexy! I loved the mafia twist!

Very interesting and exciting! Hooked from the first page! Wow! Dark and twisty and full of the normal riddles that come with Alison in wonderland! I loved it, it was hot and sexy! Definitely has that Alice in Wonderland “we’re all mad here vibe’ Very sexy with an awesome sick and twisted feel.
