Once Upon a Crime by P.J. Brackston
3.0
I was intrigued by the premise of Once Upon A Crime; Hansel and Gretel all grown up after surviving the harrowing nightmare of almost being eaten by a terrible witch. What would they be like, how did they live now, what do they do, were they off gingerbread for life? It started out slowly for me, alluding to their history but not going into detail as to what happened that fateful night they were off into the forest.
It was not until I was about 100 pages in that the story really picked up for me and I was pulled into the narrative. Brackston’s premise around Grimm’s fairy tales is interesting and her story construct and conclusion were enough that I want to pick up the second boo in the series.
