⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This author can do no wrong. What a deliciously wonderful creepfest. I love strange forest books and am always imagining what lurks within the trees in the darkness. This gives a good spin on that genre if you love spooky forest stories.

This one is a slow burn that you have to be patient with but it does payoff. The atmosphere alone is worth the read.

I loved her other books!

I had this on my tbr for a while and needed exactly this kind of story, and I wasn't disappointed. I even stopped on the side of the road to grab a coffee and get back to the book. The ending was exactly as it needed to be instead of tied up with a pink bow. I will be reading more from this author.

I've shelved this book dozens of times as a library staff member but watching my tween be engrossed in it and reading ahead of her assignments for school is what made me finally pick it up. Definitely left open for more titles in the series.

The first book from these authors, an adaptation of Emma, was an unexpectedly fun and enjoyable read for me and I'd really been looking forward to this P&P companion. I'm happy to say that it didn't disappoint! I loved the characterization of the Bennet sisters here and the Lydia/Wickham twist was a fun play on the original. The potential for both a Persuasion and S&S set in the same world is teased here, and i hope we get them- I'd read eagerly!

DebinHawaii I‘m reading this one too this month! 🤗 1d

The princess is cursed to die by a spindle, she is stolen away & raised as ordinary. But her fairy gifts cause problems, & there is still the curse to worry about.

The scene setting is unparalleled, as I expected from McKinley, but lord the plot is glacial. I think I would have enjoyed this better as an audiobook as the writing is lush & lyrical. & I wasn‘t invested in the romance. I kept thinking Rosie & Peony should get together.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! This is one of my favorites, but I can definitely see how it's not for everyone as it is SUPER rambly! 2d

The 3rd book in the Mr. Darcy and Ms. Tilney series revisits the characters of Jane Austen. The children of two of her famous couples investigate murders. This one is my favorite, taking us back to Rosings Park and some of Austens best characters in Lady Catherine De Bourgh, Mr. Collins, and Charlotte Collins. It also brings to life the minor characters of Colonel Fitzwilliam and Anne De Bourgh. #JaneAustenThenandNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig

What a great what if... fractured fairy tale of Frozen this was! Loved the story from beginning to end.
