review 1: Have you ever heard the tale of BlueBeard the pirate ? The one where he cut off the heads of everyone he loved and put them on display for the next loved one to see before her very death which would follow shortly after ?Are you a fan of fairytale renditions and fractured tales at that ? As those who read my blog The Phantom Paragrapher would know that I am a rendition lover, I don't mind the originals but for me the renditions are way better - well most of the time they are anyway. Just recently, I discovered a new author and have decided to make my way through all her books and the first one was Charming Blue . In Charming Blue we meet Jodie , she is a Magic Agent in the "Greater World" which is Earth, she works as a fixer on behalf of all those who come from the Kingdom... mores- which is the magic world. It seems that there is a stalker on the loose , threatning to kill women and the stalker is using the age-old tale of Bluebeard the pirate. Jodie has been approached by Tank - Tinkerbell's cousin to help clear Blue aka Bluebeard's name as she knows he's not really the Fairy Tale Stalker. Can Jodie help clear Blue's name and find out what is happening ? What will happen when she discovers that what is really going on is an age old centuries long curse ? Can she use her power and with the help of magical friends crack the curse ? In doing this will she be able to provide Blue with a real "Happily -Ever-After" in the Greater World or is the saying true when it says that "only in books are there happily ever afters".Find out in Charming Blue - Book #8 of the Fates series and trust me once you have read this book, you will be hooked on Kristine Grayson's writings and like me - you will make it one of your life missions to complete her booklist :)
review 2: A cute story but very PG, so if you’re looking for a full on romance novel this isn’t it. There was barely any kissing and no sex. Although the character’s are grown up, it really feels more YA. I love the twist on Blue Beard and that our heroine is a light skinned black woman. I wish the author just out right said that instead of dancing around the subject, by describing her as cafe au lait and having struggled “because of the color of her skin” in the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. The character’s are fun and lovable, and the stakes set by the bad guy are high. I would read past novel’s in this series, and look forward to future stories. less
