I am thoroughly enjoying my reread of this series. Number four didn’t disappoint. The mystery, magic, and mayhem all continue in this novel. I do feel like we make some progress with the mystery surrounding the Grimm parents. 

Another aspect of this book I enjoyed was the further development of Puck and Sabrina’s not quite relationship. The only thing stopping this book from being a five star read for me is the lack of Puck in it. I know he needed time to heal and whatnot, but I still missed his shenanigans.

These books are like a train wreck . . . I can't look away . . .

Funny, the new setting providing a big change. Some excellent character development, even more fairy tale characters (will they ever run out?) and some new surprises.

Everyone says this is the worst one in the series I personally enjoyed it but it definately could be better(:

The Grimms, Mr Canis and Mr. Hamstead take Puck to the faerie people of New York City to receive help for his mortal wounds. While, there they become caught up in solving the death of King Oberon, and find out that Veronica Grimm was deeply involved with (and loved by) the Ever-After community in the City.

This is super cute! I liked hearing about the fairy tales living in the parts of New York I know well. :)
