An anthology that spans the globe and time, putting twists on classic and (more) modern fairytales alike. A diverse cast of characters learn courage and experience wonder when introduced to magic. The traditional fantasy rules are bent, making for exciting lore about various mythical creatures. I found myself going through a range of emotions and talking back to the characters. Mostly I enjoyed the relationship dynamics, and coming up with theories. No matter how many times I was on the wrong track!
*Spoiler*. Fractures fairytales like Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Aladdin and even How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Seeing the imagination take a classic fairy tale or familiar story and twist it around for a new and different reimagining is an art in itself! Almost all readers have been exposed to the original fairy tale through childhood readings (over and over) or through Disney on TV. So we have the basics of a story, but here the author gives us something just a bit different, a new way of looking at it, and adds touches of other stories and some shifter elements. The feel of the familiar with the new shifts in focus make for a delightful tale!
You won’t recognize each one, but when you do, you can’t help but feel that jolt of pleasant recognition. The characters are well portrayed and the story line holds the reader’s complete attention. And with a collection like this, you will get to enjoy these “new” tales all over again! The Anthology presents us with djinns, mermaids, magic stones, and other enchanting characters through fairy tales that combine adventure, mystery, and the supernatural into a collection that will have something special for everyone! Don’t miss this one!

Sleeping Beauty/Ice Queen mashup
Guarded for generations, Dahlia’s spinning wheel stood untouched in its glass case…
Plagued by visions and voices in her head, Ivy trains as a witch’s apprentice, shielded from the sleeping curse. When her friends persuade her to visit Chillbury, she follows, hoping to uncover the origins of the infamous curse. In her quest for answers, she unwittingly causes her best friend to fall under the grasp of the sleeping curse. If she listens to the voices in her head, she’ll break the curse. If she doesn’t, everyone could suffer the consequences of her denial.
Will Ivy accept her destiny and break the curse, or will she be trapped in the haunted mansion?
Available in ebook on multiple retailers.
This was an amazing retelling of sleeping beauty but with a twist. I do not want to delve too much into the twist you need to just read along. I could get lost in descriptions of the world the author created. It was truly a twist of old and new combined.
I love that there are powerful young women in this novel (heroine and villain). The tale has it all from adventure, mystery, romance and friendship.
I can not wait to read more from this author!

Once I saw this book I couldn't stop thinking about it. I was so intrigued to see Maria Vermisoglou's twist on Sleeping Beauty. It was well worth the wait and the read. I loved the story and will definitely be reading more of Vermisoglou's stories.
