Schubach uses his personal narrative spiced with the characters’ wit and banter to make for compelling drama. Two, well three, new characters are introduced in this book: Parker, who is the narrator, Ella, and Marie, who shares Ella’s body. They cause trouble from page one and are quickly teamed up with the Red Hood and Gretta Snow to go in search of the fourth avatar, The Briar Rose.
Erik Schubach is putting a whole new twist on fairy tales. Kick ass heroines with no need of a dashing prince, blessings that curse, and darkness that threatens the modern world. Now the four avatars of the original fairytales have to come together to defeat the evil of the Black Crown and save humanity from werewolves.
Brilliantly rendered. A knock-down, drag out page turner no reader could put down. You will read this in one sitting.
