I've read every single grimm prequel (plus all his other books to date). If you like different versions of fairytales you need to read cameron jace books.

Very interesting take on the Grimm fairy-tale characters! I really enjoyed it and will read the others.

This is a refreshing twist on old tales and giving old characters a new modern fantasy makeover. I can read these over and over again. Beautifully written and put together.
