The Dreaming Beauty
by Anneka R. Walker
Book Review: The Dreaming Beauty
Do you enjoy a good fairytale retailing? Author Anica is doing a wonderful job with this new series of hers. Retellings can be tough. You want the connections there, but also desire to give it fresh air and originality. This book definitely achieved that goal for me. With a refreshing cast of characters and a rumored haunted cottage thrown into the mix, this gave the story a well rounded focus that still kept you guessing on what was going to happen next.
“There is nothing better when you’re lonely than a magical adventure that transports you to another world.”
Tansy White’s past is shrouded in mystery. Raised by her three delightfully precocious and wonderful aunts, Tansy has been given the freedom away from the constructs of society to become the uniquely wonderful individual she has grown into. In an effort to protect her, they whisk her away to Rose Cottage on her birthday. It is at this cottage that the mystery will slowly unfold as Tansy’s dreams and her realities gradually intertwine to set forth a string of events that help her find where she truly came from.
It is at this cottage that the family meets Marcus, the quiet and intellectual brother of the neighboring Duke. Marcus has his own troubles as he fights nightmares that he cannot find the source of. He is immediately intrigued by Tansy and the mysteries around her. His friendship with not only her, but her aunts was where the heart of this story truly lies.
I enjoyed this book with a it’s mysterious twists and magical elements. It is a delightful reimagining of Sleeping Beauty with its own unique story and plot.
