A review by franuary
Grim by Ellen Hopkins, Julie Kagawa, Amanda Hocking

4.0

Told by 17 different young adult authors, Grim features memorable short stories inspired by fairytale classics. Some stories aren’t quite as edgy as their Brothers Grimm counterparts, but others go even darker (Thinner Than Water by Saundra Mitchell and Skin Trade by Myra McIntire are especially creepy). As with most short-story collections, some tales are more successful, but the overall cohesion and quality of the stories ranks it among the best young adult short-story compilations. The familiarity of the stories coupled with the shorter format make Grim an excellent recommendation for both avid and reluctant readers. These unique, edgy stories should find a place in most young adult collections.

I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Harlequin TEEN and to NetGalley for the advance copy!
