Hansel & Gretel: Down the Rabbit Hole by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology. This is the best anthology of Hansel & Gretel. I loved all the stories and I would have a hard time picking a favorite. Its not the classic story for sure but if you are ok with a not so happy ending these stories are for you. The authors have all done an amazing job with this anthology. There is sex, horror, romance, paranormal, mental illness etc. I loved reading them all and not knowing what to expect. Each author has done a great job of making us know its Hansel & Gretel but just in a very different way. There are still gingerbread houses, witches and being lost in the woods but just different spins on it. This set will keep you entertained for hours! I loved it!

Hansel & Gretel, Down the Rabbit Hole, Anthology. All of these stories are the fairy tales retold by these wonderful authors. They will all drag you in and make you feel like you are in the actual stories. These stories all have their own stages of darkness. The emotions range from child abuse, romance, horror and of course fantasy. The stories that pulled me on the most were, Hazel & Gretchen by Erin Lee and also The Reaper Within by Jess Bagnall. All of the stories were fabulous and I highly recommend this Anthology.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this anthology, it was great to read books from authors I know and also some new to me authors. I really like all of the re-telling of fairy tales at the minute, they make for some very entertaining reading and this anthology contained some really varied subjects also. I really enjoyed CeeCee Elaine’s story – The Surface – I’ve read work by this author previously so it was great to read her work again and considering what is going on in the world at the moment her story about a virus plaguing the land was interesting to read. I also really enjoyed Lorah Jai’s story – Shadows that Move, it was actually a really interesting read and quite realistic at times – mental health is such a huge I always applaud authors for highlighting it in their work.
A really great collection of stories in this anthology – definitely something for everybody!! I highly recommend it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I give Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology, 5 stars.
This is such a great collection of stories, taking a classic fairy tale and twisting and turning it in many different ways. We tend to see more of the stories Disney has already tackled, it’s nice to see Hansel and Gretel, one that has not been reimagined too much so far. Each author has their on unique take on making the story their own — incorporating many genres. That in itself makes this book pleasurable for those who get bored reading the same thing over and over. You really have so much to choose from. Each story is written so well, I was drawn into each one immediately and couldn’t wait to see where I would be taken next.
If you enjoyed fairy tales as a kid but don’t necessarily need a happy ending, this collection is for you.
Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Hero High Box Set – Figure in Flames by Mina Chara is a must read for anyone who is into Superheroes. These novels feature an upcoming superhero, Friday Fitzsimmoms. It follows her first months at Hero High which was supposed to be a new beginning for Friday, but quickly it turns into a fight for the school as she and her classmates battle a new super villain. The story involves many twists and turns for Friday as she tries to not only survive high school but begins her journey as a superhero. Mina Chara has authored a really fun adventure and she is definitely someone to follow for future installments in Hero High and Friday’s adventures or perhaps something new.
Love the Way You Dance by Allison M Boot
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love the Way You Dance by Allison M. Boot is a sweet, young adult read. This book tells the story of Kara, who was adopted by the King and Queen of Starrycrest. Kara is a brave and sweet young lady who has lived a life of challenges. She is wanting to make some changes in the Kingdom and set up a program for orphans who need to find their forever home. Unfortunately, the King and Queen are not completely behind Kara’s new plan.
I really enjoyed this story about courage, acceptance, and loving yourself despite any flaws. I think this is a sweet story to be enjoyed by many. Also, I think younger readers can learn a lot and will enjoy reading Kara’s story. This is a nice modern fairy tale story.
Hansel & Gretel: Down the Rabbit Hole by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Hansel and Gretel Reimagined Anthology was great! I only read two stories out of the Anthology however. The two I read we’re chilling, shocking, and left me wanting more. In Hazel and Gretchen by Erin Lee, the author broke my heart with the abuse the children suffered. It was a very sad, chilling story. I wasn’t particularly fond of the ending, but it was a very chilling story. In Shadows That Move by Lorah Jaiyn, I was completely enraptured in the story. It was very chilling, very shocking, it was like reading my favorite horror movie. I honestly want Jaiyn to write a sequel to this short story, because I want to find out what happens next so bad! I can’t wait to eventually read the other stories in this set. The two I read were incredible!
Hansel & Gretel: Down the Rabbit Hole by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology filled with five-star stories. This is a great collection as each author puts their own twist on a classic story, there are so many different ways this bunch have gone, from scary, to fantasy, to romance and its seems a little of everything along the way. I will be honest and admit I picked this up as it had Autumn Sand in it, not realising they are just the co-ordinator, but honestly I didn’t mind as the others pulled me into their story’s and I enjoyed getting some new authors to lightly stalk. Especially Cee Cee Elaine her story had me looking outside to see if we were going to be heading to bunkers as it was scarily real at the present lock down time. Lorah Jaiyn was another one that made me really think about how we see people and react to things, it was a powerful story on its own. Debra Parmley story was another winner in my eyes, but to be honest there wasn’t a story I didn’t enjoy.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love a twist on a classic and this anthology spared no possible twist. I wasn’t prepared for the extensive differences between stories but would be hard pressed to pick a favorite from the bunch. Unique and fabulously detailed, each page brought something new. A fantastic anthology for all fantasy lovers to pick up – especially if you are looking for something different.

Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara is the first three books in this Young Adult fantasy series.
Denial (Hero High Book 1) is fast paced and a lot happens as we follow along with the students, future heroes and past heroes who also happen to be a television reality show as well. Friday sets out to be a hero but lives in the background, but she unwittingly finds herself in the thick of things as the story unravels.
Anger (Hero High Book w) picks up where the first book left off. Where a lot happens as the students learn more about themselves and what they can do and adjust to life as a hero and being in a television reality show. Friday seems to always find herself in situations not of her making and getting herself out of them, but she is also drawn to finding out just what is going on and who is involved.
Bargaining (Hero High Book 3) carries on from the first two where heroes are the norm and their lives are broadcast on television for all to see. In this book everything comes to head and we see who is who and which side they are on. You need to read these books in order as they flow on from each other and you will miss out on the story and how we get to each book. It is action packed and explosive and completely compelling. Just what makes a true hero?
This is one series that should not be missed.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is loaded with many versions of Hansel and Gretel. Everyone worth the read.
While I read all of the versions, my favorites are……
The Sweetest Day – by Debra Parley
Every Story has a beginning, but the gingerbread and candy house were missing. That is what makes this story fun to read. Welcome to the pretty princess pink house. I love this version and that is what made Debra Parley a fun author. Her story is complete in its few pages. The characters are clever and perfect for this story. Job Well Done Debra Parley!
The Shadows That Move – Lorah Jaiyn
Okay! This story also took you on a different rollercoaster ride. The house involved is bound by tall trees and the shadows within. Missing children, strong women and Witches oh my. Lorah Jan wrote this suspense building story. She also left you wanting more, so much more that I will be stalking this author for more stories.
The best part about reading Anthologies is the fact it guides you to look up and read other authors.

The Lost by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Lost is the first book in the Saint Code series. Even though this is listed as the first book in a series, I highly recommend reading The Finder of the Lucky Devil (Lucky Devil series) before you read this book. You will have a better grasp of certain events mentioned in The Lost if you read that book first.
I loved this book! The world building is superb and I love the unique characters. The Lost is a twisty adventure that keeps you guessing. I’d love to say more about specific details, but I don’t want to spoil the intrigue.
A definite must read!!!! Seriously, read it!!!
Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hero High: Figure In The Flames collects the first three parts of Friday Fitzsimmons’ story, written by Mina Chara. Friday, or “Fitz” as she is sometimes known, is a trainee superhero in a world where superheroes are celebrities, surrounded by cameras at all times. Friday doesn’t particularly want to be famous, and certainly doesn’t want to wear revealing clothes and smile for the camera, but she does want to make a difference and support her family.
The story is told within a framing narrative of an interview where an older Fitz is asked to discuss her origins. This works well, both reassuring the reader that Fitz will be alright in the end and allowing the older Fitz to break up the flow of the story every now and then to provide useful information or interesting commentary.
I particularly like Chara’s vivid descriptions of things. Everything from settings to clothes and food (food!). Chara gives the reader plenty of detail that really allows you to feel like you’re seeing and tasting everything.
For me, this is a five-star book. I would recommend it to fans of teen and YA superhero stories (it has a particularly X-Men feel to it with the special school for superheroes). There’s a good balance of character drama and action, and there are familiar tropes without it being boring or too predictable.
Love the Way You Dance by Allison M Boot
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Love the Way You Dance by Allison M. Boot is a sweet young adult fantasy that has a fairy tale feel to it. It is a story of self- acceptance, with magic, some drama, believing in yourself, learning to love yourself, evil trolls, and a little bit of adventure. I enjoyed this super sweet read.
Ever since Kara was adopted by the king and queen of Starrycrest, she has lived a lovely life, with everything she could ever want- loving parents, a lovely home- including the starring role in the kingdom’s production of “The Nutcracker.” But things begin to fall apart, and Kara begins to doubt everything. She is put to the test and will have to draw on all her strength, and truly accept herself, if she is to overcome it all in the end.
Another lovely story by Allison M. Boot!
Thank you, Ms. Boot!

Denial (Hero High book 1) by Mina Chara is a 3.5 star read.
This is the story of Friday Fitzsimmons who went off to hero high when she was 17, she met and spent some time with her hero Captain Fantastic, she doesn’t really have an active power so is trying to figure out how she can become a superhero.
This is my first book by this author and while it wasn’t one of my favourite books I couldn’t put the book down and read it all in one sitting.
Anger (Hero High book 2) by Mina Chara is a 3.5 star read.
Friday Fitzsimmons is still trying to figure her way around Hero High and the camera’s, the new Dr Dangerous is hell bent on finding his place as a villain and making sure Friday is in the middle of his plans. Making new friends along the way Friday is trying to stop her anxiety worries getting in the way of her time at hero high.
There was a little more excitement in this book but it still fell a little flat for me, but when I picked up the book I didn’t put it down until I was finished.
Bargaining by Mina Chara is book 3 in the series and is a 4 star read.
This book finds Friday fighting against everyone, not sure who is on the side of good or bad, her friendship with Jake is suffering and she’s getting closer to Ashley, but everyone has secrets, can Friday save the day without getting hurt?
This was a quick read and I enjoyed catching up with Friday and seeing how her superhero power would stand up against everyone else’s. The ending fell a little flat for me and I’m hoping there’s more to come.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a wonderful collection of Hansel & Gretel stories. Some of these were what I expected and others were so different I almost had to reread some of them. I enjoyed each one of these and now I’ve found a few more authors I hadn’t heard of before. The authors have done an amazing job of writing their version of Hansel and Gretel. I would highly recommend reading these stories. The anthology sticks to the conventions of the fairy tale including gingerbread houses, witches, being lost in the woods and trying to find your way back home with breadcrumbs. Some of the stories are truly frightening, but in a good way. There is romance sprinkled in too, sweetening the pot.
The stories and authors are:
– The Witch in the Woods By: Amy Allen
– The Surface By: CeeCee Elaine
– The Sweetest Day By: Debra Parmley
– Hazel & Gretchen By: Erin Lee

Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Friday Fitzsimmons is a 17 year old girl going to a new school, but she is no ordinary girl, she has superpowers and she is about to start Hero High in Icon City.
We meet Friday as she is flying to Icon City, so that she can support her family back home. Friday is anxious and shy, but is determined not to let them down. She arrives and is thrown straight into the glamour and all encompassing life that being a student at Hero High entails. There are reporters, photographers and video cameras ready to beam her student life to the world through their own reality TV show.
She and the other students are tested, grouped and placed with a mentor, before finally getting to meet the head teacher and see where they are going to live for the foreseeable future.
As Friday and the other students get used to their new life, as well as the rules, disappointments, advantages and disadvantages that come with it, they develop as people and have experiences they could never have dreamed of before this all started.
We follow Fridays adventures in this trilogy as she gets to grips with her new life, friends, classes and powers, as well as the life that comes with them.
The book starts as an interview with Friday and this style is intermittently dispersed throughout the book, where we learn tidbits that cannot be explained within the storyline. We meet and learn about the characters she comes into contact with and how all these relationships develop. This is done extremely well and keeps you guessing right up until the end.
It is an easy to follow story and flows very well, the “interview” sections do not disrupt this too much and do add to the story.
Various themes are explored throughout the story and deal with the emotional conflicts and turmoil that come along with these themes.It is a complex and engaging story that leaves you wanting more at the end and is a series that I want to finish.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot was a cute story about acceptance. I loved the premise of the book. Disability or no everyone deserves someone who loves them as they are. This was a quick and fun read. I loved Misty’s persistence and resilience she was such an easy character to love.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot was great book to read that is a modern-day fairytale. When I read the synopsis for this story I fell in love and could not read it fast enough. This was my first story by Allison Boot, and it will not be my last that is for sure. Misty is such an amazing character that I came to love. The journey she is on shows how she is such a strong, courageous person and with everything that she deals with being in a wheelchair that even she could become her true self. It’s really an amazing story.

I enjoyed this young adult fantasy story. This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite yet so far. This is a well written story with characters that bring the story to life. They bring a story of a fairytale about a princess who thinks she has everything until one day she realizes her life is about to become a nightmare. There is alot going on in this story but it is fast paced and engaging. I had no problems connecting to the magical characters. They are strong and supportive of each other which made the story easy to read. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens to Kara as she learns to love

Since being adopted by the King and Queen of Starrycrest two years ago, Kara has lived a magical life, complete with doting parents and staff as well as a starring role in the Starrycrest Starlets’ production of The Nutcracker. The princess is on top of the world until big changes threaten her place in the Denison family as well as in the kingdom.
Kara’s magical life quickly turns into a nightmare when she is forced to face her deepest insecurities and prepare for the biggest night of her life with a dance partner whom she does not even like. To complicate matters even more, Stella Dixon, the Starlets new dance instructor, tells the princess about a program in Eclipston that helps orphans find their forever families. Kara loves the idea and wants to implement a similar program in Starrycrest, but others in the royal family refuse.
The tiny royal soon realizes that, in order to be the princess she has always hoped to be and make Starrycrest a better kingdom, she must take matters into her own hands as her mother once did. After an encounter with Victrollia, an evil troll who hates the Denisons and wants to avenge the death of her cousin, Trovella, goes terribly wrong, the princess and her loyalty to her family is put to the ultimate test. In the end, Kara will learn that living life to the fullest means you must love the way you dance.

Denial is he first book in the Hero High by Mina Chara. Mina Chara is a new author to me and I think she has a hit on her hands. If you like YA, Fantasy and Action, this is going to be the perfect series for you. The characters and world building are both entertaining and easy to imagine with the detailed descriptions. This is a quick fast paced read that grabbed my attention from the first page and didn’t let go until the last.
Anger is the second book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This installment starts where the first book in the series, Denial, ends. I love these short installments that are easy and fast to read. The excitement continues in this book, with Friday continuing her training and learning how to be a SuperHero. This book is fast paced and the characters are well defined. This isn’t my usual genre, but I have really got hooked this this series.
Bargaining is the third book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This book really ties up this series. I’m so glad I chose to read this series. I found the character development and world building to be detailed and easily relatable. I found this book to be my favorite of all three. Friday Fitzsimmons Story continues, and it is full of action and adventure as she tries to figure out the good vs. evil in her life. This YA series is addicting and it has some twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting. I highly recommend this book, series, and author.

I enjoyed this novel by Allison Lewis. It was uplifting and had a really nice message for all those young girls out there that feel they are different and that they will never be accepted for who they are. It was inspirational and a joy to read. As we were given a glimpse into the growth and development of Misty we got to experience her joy at finding not only love but acceptance for who she was. This inspirational novel helps to show that no matter what a person’s flaws or perceived flaws are, the individual can draw from the flaw and it can become their greatest strength. This light hearted novel is a good read and well worth checking out.

Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hero High: FIgure in The Flames by Mina Chara is a collection of three Hero High books; Denial, Anger, and Bargaining. This is a quick, entertaining read. Friday is now a student at Hero High to hone her special abilities. She learns quickly that you cannot trust many and not everyone is concerned about her best interests. This school for heroes is televised and part of reality tv programming. It is difficult for Friday because she has a mind of her own and does not care if she is popular, she just wants to be trained. What will Friday do when she is brought into a plan which can have life altering circumstances? Will Friday make the right decisions?
I really enjoyed reading about Friday. She is a young lady many can relate to. Her life has not been easy, but she just wants to protect her family and reach her goals. She is a fun character. There are other characters which are also students and mentors at school. Each is an interesting character and would be great to read more about them. I look forward to reading more from this emerging author in the future.
