This has been one of my favorite books of June! I have been devouring fairytale retellings, and this was such a fun companion to read with @serena_valentino_author’s Villain Series ❤️‍🔥 these shorts retell and reimagine the stories of so many timeless villains, and I just loved the whole collection! Some of my favorites were 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘎𝘰𝘭𝘥, 𝘚𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, and 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦'𝘴 𝘒𝘪𝘴𝘴 ❤️
