A review by bookgirl4ever
Sweetly by Jackson Pearce

4.0

As a child siblings, Ansel and his two younger sisters (twins) Gretchen and the unnamed are chased in their local woods by what Ansel and Gretchen come to believe was a witch. Gretchen's twin is taken and never found again. The loss scars the family. After reaching adulthood Gretchen and Ansel travel away from Washington State and the nightmarish memories to the east coast, finding themselves in the small town of Live Oak. They live with a young lady who owns a candy shop but she has been accused of being a witch and causing young ladies from the town to disappear.

Retelling of Hansel and Gretel with the reappearance of Pearce's monstrous villains.

JHS/HS.
