I'm currently dipping in and out of this collection of adult fairy tales, but loving it so far!
Did you know Beauty and the Beast had a daughter, who grew up to train as an assassin? Lacey Carter Andersen and May Dawson give a fantastic introduction to Mercy, who you may already have met in the God Fire Reform School books. There's a touch of Terry Pratchett apparent in the guild - no bad thing, in my opinion! - and it's both the perfect back story to a character we already know, and a great set up for her own series.
I've seen a few people recently asking about shark shifters? Well, A Fairytale retelling of Twelve Dancing Princesses by Cassie Leigh has got you covered! I'm not at all familiar with the original, but it's a fun, sweet tale, and I'd love to find out more about the other 11 sisters!
Fairest, a Snow White Retelling by KM McKenna is something of a prequel, setting up the Evil Queen's back story, and I hope there's more to come!
I could go on, but you get the picture! All the fairy tales you grew up with, and a few more besides, but not the versions you knew!
