Filled with adventure, love, magic, and a strong heroine, this clean YA Fairy Tale is a must-read!

If you liked Kiera Cass, Serena Valentino, and Liz Braswell, you’ll love this!


The Hansel and Gretel Curse is the third book in the Cursed Fairy Tale series. Each book can be read as a standalone. However, for greatest enjoyment, the novels should be read in order.




My Review:

On the night of their seventeenth birthday Hansel wanted Gretel to go out with him to meet friends to celebrate their birthday but Gretel is not in the mood she had rather stay home and read.

Hansel goes off to the party without Gretel. When he doesn’t return home Gretel learns that he left the party with an older woman. She later learns that the woman who took him was the witch who lives in the Back Forest. This wicked witch lives in a house made out of all sorts of sweets. This wicked witch steals people’s willpower and turns them into slaves.

To save her brother Gretel must enter the Black Forest and go to the witch’s liar. In order to save her brother she must not succumb to the wicked witches mind control technics. Can Gretel infiltrate the witch’s lair and pretend to be under the wicked witch’s control? Can she save her brother? Can she make it out alive?

Upon entering the Black Forest Gretel meets one of the Queens Generals Stefan. The royal family is in trouble. Stefan is determined to save them from the wicked witch in the Black Forest. Stefan will have to save the royal family on his own as only one soldier is allowed to enter the Black Forest at a time. So Stefan and Gretel decide to work together to take down the wicked witch and save the royal family and Hansel.

It will take many trials and temptations before their journey is through. Can they resist temptation long enough to do what they came to do? Can they save Hansel or will they succumb to temptation?

The Hansel and Gretel Cruse was a fast paced and enthralling read that kept me hooked from the first page pulling me in with all of its magical twists and temptations I couldn’t get enough of its sweet magical world. I can’t wait to read more in the Cursed Fairy Tale world.

The Hansel and Gretel Cruse can be read as a stand-alone but I would recommend picking up a copy of the first two books in the Cursed Fairy Tale world, The Nutcracker and The Bluebeard Curse. Both are very fast paced and enjoyable magical reads filled with lots of suspense and mystery.
