I enjoyed The Fairest Beauty (Hagenheim #3) by Melanie Dickerson, though not as much as I liked the first in the Hagenheim series. The cover of the book immediately gives away which fairy tale it is based on, though the Cottage of Seven makes it pretty obvious, too. But I loved the unique spin on the cottage and its inhabitants. 
 Sophie and Gabe are both likable character; Sophie a bit too sweet but Gabe was realistic - a bit immature and impulsive but very relatable. He starts the adventure without the best of intentions, mostly wanting to prove himself and get some of the attention he feels his brother monopolizes. But he grows quite a bit throughout the story. I was taken aback at one moment where Sophie lashed back at someone who bullied her. While it was a perfectly human reaction, and really wasn't too extreme, it was singular and jarring since she was so sweet the rest of the time. 
 Overall, I enjoyed the story, it's fun and heavy on the romantic aspect of the story (even if nothing much happens outside of a few kisses) but it's very simple YA.
