Merrie Destefano is easily one of my new favorite authors. Everything I've read by her I have loved and this collection was no exception. This story was everything a fae story should be and it reminded me of Edgar Allen Poe and Holly Black with a little Sarah J. Maas thrown in for good measure. If you are looking for a short, yet wholly satisfyingly spooky read then look no further than this creepy collection! As with Merries' other novels I was absorbed completely and the writing was so beautifully poetic. I highly recommend this fairy tale(see what I did there? 😉) filled with tragic romance, revenge, tricks, and treachery.
