Fairytales of the Macabre by Olivie Blake
5.0

Four fairytale stories, romance, betrayal, magic, and heartbreak. This is the first volume and features four distinct stories.

1) Pins and Needles: Enemies to lovers.. to enemies maybe? This is a story about two people who hate each other... but with hatred that could be more. The story involves a voodoo doll and the power play of control, of possessing someone. This was such a good start to the volume. 5/5 ( Would love a longer version of this story, second favorite of the series)

2) The Animation Games: Two people who are betrothed to each other but their deaths are only the beginning of their fates. They are intertwined, forever killing and haunting each other... making a game of who kills the other and who is leading... but maybe their curse is something more and maybe after all their games are played, maybe they are soulmates. This was my all time favorite of the stories. FANTASTIC (5/5)

3) Fates and Consequences: Someone is killed by the fates much earlier than they were intended but finds themself in the sensual power play between Hades and Persephone ( sadly this was my least favorite of the stories) (3/5)

4) Sensual Tales for Carnal Pleasures: Be careful of the beautiful man, be careful of his temptation. This is a story about a girl who was warned by her mother all her life to be weary of a beautiful man who will lure her but when the time comes things are not as they seem and a larger game is at play. ( 4/5)
