Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Mina is trying to deal with the loss of Jared. She is devastated and when Teague comes threatening her for a mystery blade, Mina angers him with her heartbreak. She is also worried when her little brother’s image seems to flicker for a second as he tries to grab something he wants. She searches out the Godmothers Guild for help.

Something is trying to destroy the Grimm family line. Mina will have to go back in time to stop it. With the help of some glass slippers during a ball with Brody, Mina goes back to a time before Teague turns evil, back before Jared even existed. She learns what really happened and why Teague turned evil destroying what he did. She also learned why his vengeance is aimed at her family. She is shocked and saddened over the truth. She is full of guilt and anger when Teague strikes back at her in her time. She loses someone important and she has to figure out what to do next.

I love this series. This is book four and you learn exactly what caused it all. I didn’t see it coming until I read this book. Through the whole series you wonder why Teague is so evil. Now you know and why. It is interesting that the prophesy became a self-fulfilling one. If they wouldn’t have acted on it, it probably wouldn’t have come to pass. Got to love the logic in the Unfortunate fairy tales.

I love that Mina finally gets to be with Brody but sad to say that may not last long. It’s great to see Mina’s friends rally around her and accept everything in stride. She is no longer alone.

The ending was surprising. I was not expecting that to occur. So it will be interesting to see what Mina has to do in the last book. She has some new allies, so we will see. The author has written a fun series to read with great characters. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I give it a 4 out of 5.
