Dear Reader, this book contains material related to death, murder, and blood that some readers may find distressing. The author explores these themes in sensitive and survivor-centered ways, but the content of this work may nevertheless be emotionally challenging, so self-care is advised.
What if you found out your fairy-tale life was more in line with Brothers Grimm than Walt Disney?
In The Grimrose Girls, Ella, Yuki, and Rory are still reeling from the death of their best friend Ari when they find themselves on the trail of a shocking discovery. Their lives are in grave danger, both from the contents of the mysterious book they found in Ari’s wardrobe and from someone who doesn’t want them to dig any deeper. Can they break the curse of Grimrose Academy before anyone else dies?
Don’t worry, a (mostly) happy ending is in store. A more dramatic departure from the original fairy-tale than Beastly (2007) and its like, readers will have a hard time putting this book down. Mainly plot-driven, with relatable though somewhat shallow characters, this story will be most appealing to puzzle-solving mystery-lovers who enjoy parsing clues from between the lines
