Wolves and Daggers | Melanie Karsak

This was really good, I was into it. Steampunk Red Riding Hood where “Little Red” fights werewolves, vampires, and monsters alike. Super fast paced and action packed. My only complaint was that it wasn‘t longer! Will definitely keep reading the series and check out of some Melanie‘s other work. 4.25/5

willaful Lol, I went to see if this was on KU and it turns out I own it. 21h

It‘s September #bookspin time! I‘ve already started Brave the Wild River on audio. And Wolfsong is for #AuthorAMonth so I‘ll definitely pick that up soon. What else will I be reading @TheAromaofBooks ? 🙂📚🩷

As usual it was hard to get into one of these novellas. Overall I did enjoy the Dorothy Must Die series, but the novellas were not particularly enjoyable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

They had stood against all adversity to be together, and now they would forge their own path to love. She would be Kai‘s wife.
She would be the Commonwealth‘s empress. And she had every intention of being blissfully happy for ever, ever after.

This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

While a lot of the story is familiar (being a retelling of course) there are some interesting additions like dreaming of long corridors, green witches, sorcerers, starlight creatures, and visions, which I am fairly sure aren‘t in the original versions!

I personally think it would take more than a few nights of stilted conversation to fall in love with someone, but it was still an enjoyable listen ☺️

rubyslippersreads I haven‘t read this one, but the same author has another Beauty & the Beast retelling I love: 1mo

The crowd caught sight of us, and everyone sent up a cheer; Greatheart and his brother neighed and stamped, and above it all rang the wild music of bells and pipes and horns.

Thornhedge is a 2024 Hugo Best Novella nominee, and it is a solid story, as are all of T. Kingfisher's works that I've read. This is a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story, with a number of unexpected twists. #hugo2024 #hugoawards

Since I have a ton of buddy reads and bookclub books in August, I‘m giving a bunch of books multiple numbers and using some short stories. New method for me 🤣. Making it work!
