• Twisted Tales: Tale as Old as Time Review

  Ah, one of my favorites, and Braswell did a lovely job with her twist of “What if Belle’s mother cursed the beast?” Yes, everyone Belle’s mother is alive and she’s the infamous Enchantress that kicks the whole story off.

  Elizabeth Lim hits out of the park again with her Twisted Tale that transforms a princess I found boring and uninteresting to a riveting heroine to root for. And Lim doesn’t even change her personality!

• Twisted Tales: Conceal, Don’t Feel

  Another solid book for the Twisted Tales line but not one of Calonita’s best compared to the other two she wrote for the series.
