Twisted Tales: Once Upon a Dream Review
Ah yes, this twist on Sleeping Beauty was the first Twisted Tales book in the series, and an excellent intro to any newcomer I believe. The book asks “What if Sleeping Beauty hadn’t woken up?”. In fact it pulls Prince Phillip to sleep too once he kisses the princess. For our story starts not as…

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.

Twisted Tales: Straight On Till Morning Review
Braswell explores the scenario of ”What if Wendy first traveled to Neverland with Captain Hook?” which is a great twist indeed. Here Wendy, John and Michael never went on their grand adventure to Neverland after Nana catches Pan’s shadow. Rather Nana caught Pan’s shadow but he has never appeared to them. Now years later, Wendy…

Liz Braswell’s Unbirthday asks the question “What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very very late?” and is perfect for all those who wish to return to Wonderland.

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: Mirror, Mirror Review
Since I enjoyed Calonita’s other book, I thought I’d give this one a try next and see how she spices up a princess I’ve never been interested in. Which she manages to accomplish quite well using a dual narrative between Snow White and The Evil Queen who is so named Queen Ingrid here.

Twisted Tales: Reflection Review
Now this was an excellent Twisted Tale. Not as dark as apparently the other books are with blood sacrifices and such, but I prefer it that way. This is rather an AU, a potential place for the story to go rather than a grittier and darker take on a tale we already know.

Twisted Tales: Go the Distance Review
I can’t say enough good things about this book. It’s part of a greater series called Twisted Tales which are stand-alone books that present a twist or what if situation of the Disney movies like “What if Aladdin never found the lamp” or “What if Wendy traveled to Neverland with Hook?” I hadn’t read any…
