D.E. Dennis has taken another admired fairy tale and turned it into a mystery. The interpersonal relationships between the characters are further developing. There is still a mystery surrounding the main character Michael that I was hoping would be revealed soon. The storyline of this book is very imaginative. This is the work of brilliance.

The Grimms are on the case again. This time they have to figure out if Beauty was pushed down the stairs or if it was an accident. The police think it’s an accident but Michael is determined to find the truth. Another great read!

Boy oh boy. The folks from Fairy Tails are something else. Their secrets had secrets, but the Grimms know how to handle them. I’m glad that the family was able to work out their issues and hopefully Mira has a place. Not Spencer. He needs a huge lesson in humility. Can’t wait for book 3.

This is the second book in the Fairy Tale Mystery series. This time Michael and Monica are looking for the person who pushed Beauty Cadal from the top of the stairs and puts her in a coma.

fractured fairy tales.
The Grimm sibling re brother and sister in these tales, and they re-assemble the pieces of the stories to find who is at fault – and Spencer the Froggy, and Samira, the former fiancee to Michael Grimm help ferret out details police have access to that PIs do not, and they arrest the bad guys – or the suspects – as the circumstances suggest they should.
A painful past lies behind Michel, his sister and their parents, and a mysterious last minute break-up with Samira not long before their wedding eight years ago.
We do not yet hear Michel explain why he would net wed Samira in the past. Perhaps the new future thaty are all building will find some peace and happiness for them all.
Powerful KU read.
