The Blood Spell by C.J. Redwine
3.0

3.5/5

There's something so comforting about reading a fairytale retelling. You already know the key points, but it's also fun and refreshing. I thought the author was so creative with weaving a well-known story into something new. Some parts definitely felt a bit slow to me, but once the title started to come into play, everything started to piece together and it was so satisfying. I wanted to read this book to begin with because it was described as very "cottagecore" and cozy and I would have to agree with that. Though a tad bit darker.
