Sweetly by Jackson Pearce
4.0
This series is so freaking good!
Sweetly is a Hansel and Gretel retelling! I don't think I've read a Hansel and Gretel kind of book so I was really intrigued by this one. So in this book, Gretchen and her brother Ansel are kicked out of their stepmother's house. However, this is no ordinary story of these two siblings. No- Gretchen had a twin sister who was mysteriously taken. Also, their parents died.. just make that even more miserable for you.
So Gretchen and Ansel drive to a faraway town that doesn't like outsiders. They thought it was perfect for them - especially when Ansel got a job at the local bakery. Of course, their happiness doesn't last long because Gretchen believes that the witch who took her sister is back. With the help of Samuel, who is one of the town's outcast, Gretchen can hopefully face her fear.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story and the characters. This series seems amazing to me right now (it could be the wine or the food..but I'm enjoying it nonetheless!). I can't wait for the next book!
