The Key by Rachel Hawkins - Bluebeard - 4 stars 
 I really enjoyed this one. I didn't know which fairy tale it was retelling until after I read it, so I wasn't expecting the story to take the direction it did. I wish the ending hadn't been quite as abrupt, I would have loved just a little bit more. 
 Figment by Jeri Smith-Ready - Puss in Boots - 3 stars 
 This one was kind of sweet. I don't think I've ever read something in the point of view of a stuffed animal before. Other than that, it was average. 
 The Twelfth Girl by Malinda Lo - The Twelve Dancing Princesses - 4 stars 
 Loved the dark tone of this one, it kept me interested throughout. It was told in kind of detached way, and the ending was left too open-ended for my taste, but still found it very entertaining. 
 The Raven Princess by Jon Skovron - The Raven - 3.5 stars 
 This one started out kind of rocky, but the ending wasn't what I expected and that was neat. 
 Thinner Than Water by Saundra Mitchell Cat Skin - 5 stars 
 This is definitely one of the darkest stories in the whole book. The main issue it deals with - incest - is pretty difficult to swallow. I haven't read or even heard of the story this is based off of, so I can't compare it to the original. But I loved the writing and especially the powerful ending. 
 Before the Rose Bloomed by Ellen Hopkins - The Snow Queen - 2 stars 
 I've never been a fan of verse writing, that's probably why I haven't read anything by Hopkins. The whole writing style just seemed odd to me, and the story itself was bland. 
 Beast/Beast by Tessa Gratton - Beauty and the Beast - 3.5 stars 
 This is a pretty standard retelling, no real flare added to the story to make it different. I would normally give it a lower rating, but because of my great love of Beauty and the Beast, I enjoy reading it regardless of how it's presented. 
 The Brothers Piggett - The Three Little Pigs - 5 stars 
 I mainly read this book because I love Julie Kagawa, so of course I had high expectations. I loved the story she chose, I've never read a retelling of it before, and I loved the way she told it and the spin she put on it. Wonderful. 
 Untethered by Sonia Gensler - The Shroud - 1 star 
 Um . . . I just thought this was written in a bizarre way and I didn't totally understand what happened. 
 Better by Shaun David Huchinson - The Pied Piper - 4 stars 
 This one had a science fiction aspect to it, and I really liked it. There was a certain darkness to it and the ending was lovely. 
 Light It Up by Kimberly Derting - Hansel and Gretl - 4 stars 
 Definitely an interesting updated take on the classic fairy tale. It still follows the basic storyline, but it changes it up enough to be exciting. Instead of an evil old witch/hag, we get an evil male park ranger! 
 Sharper Than A Serpent's Tongue by Christine Johnson - Diamonds and Toads - 4.5 stars 
 I'm not entirely sure why I enjoyed this one so much. I read the original story when I was much younger, so perhaps it was just the nostalgia. However, I loved how it seemed to have a message of making the most of what you're given, how even a curse can be like a blessing. And I much preferred the "bad" sister to the "good" sister. 
 A Real Boy by Claudia Grey - Pinocchio - 4 stars 
 I found this one to be very unique, and I got surprisingly attached to the romance in a very limited amount of time. 
 Skin Trade by McEntire - The Robber Bridegroom - 1 star 
 While I appreciate the dark/grim tone this story was going for, it simply did not work for me. A bunch of creepy band dudes like to eat the skin of pretty women, but one falls in love with a girl quite randomly and they want an HEA? Am I supposed to be rooting for this? Seriously? 
 Beauty and the Chad by Sarah Rees Brennan - Beauty and the Beast - 4 stars 
 I felt this retelling was much more successful than the previous one, I loved the modern Beast and the fairy tale Beauty. 
 The Pink by Amanda Hocking - The Carnation - 3.5 stars 
 It was interesting at first, but I think it was a bit too long and the ending was sort of boring. 
 Sell Out by Jackson Pearce - Snow White - 3.5 stars 
 Well, the whole point of the story was kind of absent here . . . I mean, it's supposed to be true love's kiss and this clearly wasn't. I would love to know what happened after she woke up. Otherwise, it was okay. 
 Overall, Grim had a wide variety of stories that ranged from bad to amazing.
