Grim by Rachel Hawkins, Julie Kagawa
5.0
Anyone who knows me knows I'm sucker for short story collections. I just love them! And this is one of the best. All the stories were enjoyable, and some of them were pleasantly dark, but they were balanced out by the fun cutesy romances. I'll go through and rate each story and maybe write a few words when I have something to say. Here goes!
The Key by Rachel Hawkins 8/10 Nice plot twist, very dark. Me likey.
Figment by Jeni Smith-Ready 10/10 This one gave me a lot of feelings. I really felt for Figment,and this story was definitely one of my favorites!
The Twelfth Girl by Malinda Lo 6/10 I didn't really have much of an attachment to this one and I didn't get the ending. Eh.
The Raven Princess by Jon Skovron 8.5/10
Thinner than Water Saundra Mitchell 4/10 I did not like this one. Very disturbing.
Before the Rose Bloomed Ellen Hopkins 8/10 Loved the writing style!
Beast/Beast Tessa Gratton 7.5/10
The Brothers Pigett Julie Kagawa 9/10
Untethered Sonia Gensler 8.5/10 Beautifully done plot twist!
Better by Shaun David Hutchinson 8.5/10 Levi and Pip <3
Light it Up by Kimberly Derting 7/10 Totally called the human steaks.
Sharper than a Serpent's Tongue by Christine Johnson 7.5/10
A Real Boy by Claudia Gray 9.5/10 Awwwwww!
Skin Trade by Myra McEntire 7/10 CREEPY
Beauty and the Chad by Sarah Ress Brennan 9/10 SO FUNNY! I loved seeing a modern beast and Belle talk. DUDE
The Pink Amanda Hocking 8.5/10
Sell Out by Jackson Pearce 7/10 This was too short for me to get attached, so I didn't really care about this one all that much.
Overall, this was a really great story collection! I recommend to anyone who loves a good fairy tale... with a twist.
