Hi! I'm Rachel Huffmire, an award winning author who writes futuristic fairytale retellings with twisty plots and happily ever afters. I believe there is courage in compassion, and I tell stories about optimistic heroes who change the world.

I live with my husband, three children, and a library of books that is slowly overtaking our house. It’s not my fault. When I'm not writing, I enjoy baking apple pastries, taking long naps, and wearing warm cardigans.

If you love fairytale retellings too, you can sign up for my monthly newsletter at Rachelhuffmire.com for a community that loves folklore, fiction, and fantasy! You can also chat with me on Instagram @rachelhuffmire.

I was really excited to pick this up after hearing it was a Scarlet Pimpernel retelling with a dark magic twist—and it delivered on that promise. The worldbuilding was interesting, especially the concept of blood magic, and the characters were multif ...more

A slow and atmospheric mystery that doesn’t fall into the trap of needing an explosion to keep your attention. Every step of the way I was intrigued by the subtext of the story, the subtle themes of group vs. group, mistrust of the ‘other’ and what d ...more

I really wanted to love this book more than I did. Stephanie Garber’s whimsical writing and imaginative worldbuilding always draws me in, and the ending was strong and offered some emotional payoff, but the journey through the middle felt uneven.

I really wanted to love this one, especially after enjoying To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before—but sadly, it just didn’t have the same charm. The entire book was soaked in angst and immaturity. The characters fought constantly. Everyone acted selfishl ...more

Rebecca Ross never disappoints when it comes to beautiful prose. Her writing is lush, lyrical, and completely immersive—A Dream Lies Beneath is no exception. While the story started off a bit slow for me, things really picked up around the 30% mark, ...more

I finished it, but it’s not my cuppa. Feeling a little fired up over this one.

I felt everyone was way too willing to divulge their deep, dark secrets on the first try, there was no try/fail cycle. Just a linear path through evidence that led to the s

Before I start, let me be clear—this book is not for every reader. There’s a fair amount of strong language, heavy themes, and sexual references. It’s definitely raw and rough around the edges—very reflective of Eleanor’s lived experience. I wouldn’t ...more
