The Grimm Chronicles
Pretty Things
By: Christine Haggerty
Blurb
When Maddie's father catches her with a boy, he hauls her into town in a pig wagon and finds her a husband. But Peter's cabin in the woods promises something very different than Maddie's happily ever after.
Pretty Things, a retelling of "The Robber Bridegroom," is the first novella in the Grimm Chronicles series. Warning: not your granny's fairytales!
Review
Christine Haggerty takes a jab at The Grimm’s fairytale “The Robber Bridegroom”. She retells the story in a twisted new light, giving a new breath of life into this old fairytale. Just remember folks this is not the same fairytale you are all use too!
Maddie is by far one of the biggest brats you will come to see. Thanks to a mother that passed when she was young in child birth she was raised alone by her father the Miller. He did what any loving father would do…spoiled her rotten.
Her world gets thrown upside down when her father witnesses an event that drives him to the brink. Maddie then is put on the fast track to growing up as she faces evils she never thought possible.
Haggerty leads you into a tale of darkness, fear, sorrow and triumph. The tale itself stands on its own well and even though it is a retelling Haggerty has done a fantastic job making this tale her own.
Strongly recommended to those that love dark fantasy, a hint of romance and watching a spoiled girl grow up in the face of fear and death. It is a page turner that you will re-read over and over again.
4.5/5
